At the end of may, about 10 days after getting my car serviced at the Land Rover manhattan location middle of may, I headed to a short trip with my family. An hour into our trip, I could hear horrible noises coming from the engine, as if the gears were grinding with the engine shaking drastically. As I tried to pull to the side of the highway to safety, smoke started coming out of the front of my car. I got my family out of the car immediately and called roadside assistance. I went to inspect my car while we waited, and I noticed that there was oil all over the front (and rear) bumpers, as if all of the oil had spilt while I was driving. This was extremely strange since there was no light on my dashboard and my car had recently been serviced. It has been a month and a half since the incident and I have yet to get a clear idea of what exactly went wrong and I have yet to receive back my car.
After driving all day on Sunday September 3 2017. It cut off when I was about to drop my friend daughter at her house. I turn it off the engine then start my truck again but wouldn't come out off park. I called roadside assistance and my truck was towed to the dealer. Two days later the mechanic called me and I was told he has to replace a part and it was a electric shortage. My truck is only a year old and it was very scary and not dependable vehicle.
