| Equipment problems |
4 days after purchasing the vehicle it broke down due to a leak in the engine, that was fixed. Cost a 1000 to repair, when this happened I was driving home and the car jump and started to smoke so I pulled over and got it towed. After getting the car back, I noticed that the alarm was going off for no reason. All day (it was parked). The only thing that got it to stop was taking out the fuse, but that shouldn't be happening in the first place. I replaced the fuse with a new one yesterday and this morning the alarm was going off in my garage. This car also has battery issues. I didn't drive it for two days and the battery was completely dead. This car is causing me to go into debt due to all the things that keep happening. I have read online that this model and make of this vehicle has these problems. So many people are experiencing this, I called Land Rover to ask if this was a issue that happens often and they couldn't tell me anything. I don't want to put anymore money into a car that cannot be fixed.
Rear diferential has a very loud noise, there is a factory recall for this and the dealer is not helping, the cost of the piece is 50% the cost of the entire vehicle, and it only has 45,000 km.
I have a 2010 Lr2 hse with approx. 59k. Just took it to my repair guy who diagnosed a problem with the rear differential. He referred me to the local dealer to repair. After speaking with the local dealership to make an appointment and realizing that they knew exactly what the problem is with my vehicle, I did some research and see that this is a common problem with this model of car and is a very costly repair. I can't get my vehicle into the lr dealer for more than 2 weeks - however I am wondering why, after reviewing all of the complaints about the rear differential in this make/model of vehicle there has not been a recall on it. I have contacted lr na but do not expect remediation. I am hoping the NHTSA will look at yet another complaint and provide consumers some assistance in this matter.
Out of nowhere the rear end of the vehicle started making these loud, roaring and humming noises that eventually turned into a grinding noise. First thought the problem was the breaks; inner & outer breaks as well as the rotors were replaced with no changes, noises still continue. After that; all 4 tires were replaced with a full alignment, nothing seemed to help the noises at all. After further research of this problem; it seems there has been an issue with the rear end differential on this make/model vehicle for the last 5 years, that the manufacturer is highly aware of. I'm a mother of small children and my main concern is their safety in this matter; if this problem is allowed to continue, it could end up with the rear wheels locking up. This issue is very serious; better yet, very dangerous and needs further investigation.
