Repeated issues of low cooling warning leading to engine overheating - severely resulting in tow in. Prior Land Rover dealer repair (prior to my purchase under certified warranty) was inadequate, causing coolant crossovers in front and rear to be cracked. Engine overheated steamed close to home, and vehicle towed in to lr dealer in area. Took two months to repair and at time, they thought engine was blown, but assured me repairs complete. Within 6 months, same warning light, took to lr dallas dealer and said no issue. Within 13 months of major repair, taken into lr dallas dealer, and now told I need a brand new engine. Repeated repairs the same engine defect, issue and now lr won't repair under warranty (now) when I was told a few weeks ago, they would repair with new engine. Now, have a completely worthless car, that was certified 2. 75 years ago. Total shop time for all this 5 months and counting.
Vehicle went from park to reverse by itself. Drivers door was wide open when my wife started vehicle and by it self it engaged in reverse and ran the door into a wall. The vehicle almost ran over my wife while she was attempting to exit the vehicle. Luckily she was able to jump back in and push the brake to stop the car. My son was behind the car loading items. Luckily he had moved seconds before.
Rotary controller for gear was in park position. Driver exited the vehicle with driver door open and both feet on ground when vehicle suddenly shifted into reverse gear. Driver was unable to jump back into vehicle to press on brakes and was forced under the open vehicle door. Occupants including a baby were in the back seat. Vehicle crashed into a building with driver door impact bending forward to slow the crash before striking a tree and coming to stop. Vehicle is a total loss with frame and roof damage, pillar damage extensive front/side and rear damage, door was nearly torn off hinge.
