Two problems related to engine cooling system have been reported for the 2004 Land Rover Range Rover. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
I purchased a 2004 Range Rover on the evening of 05/12/11 from momentum Land Rover in texas. On the morning of 05/13/11 the car began to over heat and stopped. Took it back to the dealer and they claimed that the wrong type of coolant was placed in the car. Mind you, that I did not service the car within the 10 hours I drove off the lot. The car was in the shop for 4 days. Picked the car up and two days later the same thing occurred. It over heated and stopped. This time the dealer st that the thermostat needed replacing. The car was there for 15 days. Again picked the car up at 6pm and by 4pm the next day the same thing it over heated and stopped. I have purchased a used car before, but I must say this is the worse.
Car idles high and revs to 4 rpms to change to another gear it appears transmission struggles to switch gears and problem not fixed. . . I believe it is a dealer defect and should be replaced by dealer . . . . It appears its a sensor not sending correct message to transmission , however sensor is connected to radiator and thus I would have to replace entire radiator. . . . . . . This is absolutely a dealer malfunction I should not be responsible for this I have 59,000 miles and my warranty was up at 50 thousand. . . . . . . Has this been reported before?? I asked dealer why hasn't there been a recall if they are aware of problem and he said cause problem doesn't affect car for many years.
