The contact owns a 2020 Land Rover Range Rover 3. 0. The contact stated while driving on the highway heard loud bang, no warning lights illuminated, continued to drive. White grayish smoke coming from underneath the vehicle and a burning oil smell. There was also a lot of oil spots visible underneath the vehicle. Pulled off the road. The vehicle was towed to the dealer where it was diagnosed with engine failure caused by timing components. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the issue. The approximate failure mileage was 60,000.
I am filing this complaint regarding my 2020 Range Rover full size plug-in hybrid, which has been inoperable for over three months due to ongoing fault codes and software-related issues. The vehicle has been at an authorized Land Rover dealer for an extended period. The dealer has confirmed they are unable to proceed without direction or software updates from Jaguar Land Rover corporate engineering. For the last 60+ days, the issue has been repeatedly escalated between the dealer and corporate engineering with no actionable resolution, no repair authorization, and no clear timeline provided. I have even reached out customer relationship center file customer compliant which has not been responded to by lrna/hq. My case number is case:[xxx] vehicle background: •vehicle would not charge beyond 80%. I scheduled an appointment with the local dealers to inspect. Identified a coolant issue within the high voltage system. Orepair: we were able to get covered by lr per a service bulletin; however, the repair process took over a month. •November subsequent issue: check engine light appeared along with a “rotten egg” smell after charging. I returned the vehicle to the dealership. Orepair: lr identified power distribution box resistor out of target range with resistance causing over-charging. This took a month and believe a software issue may have caused this as well as cannot happen on non-plug in. Oreplacement of both the power distribution box and battery cost $1,471. •December: picked up the car and parked it for a week while out of town. The first week back I drove to work and the check engine light came on again. I have not yet received the vehicle back and it continues to throw powertrain codes.
