While on a trip from ohio back to charlotte, nc I was driving through the mountains and got a reduced engine performance warning while on an incline with a truck behind me and the engine would not pick up speed and I began to lose power and almost got hit by the truck behind me. I pulled over, took the key out of the ignition, reinserted the key and was able to drive again. Upon my research, I found that the wiring on these vehicles has a known issue of being crossed and the auxiliary cooling pump has issues as well. I was told by my mechanic that the part is not covered and nor is the labor to fix this issue. I called Land Rover and although they are aware of this issue that they will not do anything about it. This is an obvious issue with the manufacturing of the vehicle as they are well aware of the wires being put in incorrectly!.

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.

After all scheduled maintenance were made. Right after the warranty ran out, my dealer service department informed me that my engine was damaged, leaking oil and antifreeze. And that the repair bill would be a large amount(1500. 00). Dealer said have it repaired on my next maintenance interval. I have checked on the internet forums and other owners of this brand of vehicle are experiencing the same problem that I have.

I had a 2006 Range Rover super charge with engine/transmission problem and coolant problems. This problem existed from 5,000 miles all the way to 64,000. I kept complaining and bringing the car back to the first place it broke down which was in georgia. I tried to take the truck to a service place in new jersey but was told I had to bring the car back to the first place where it was so called repaired! which to me was too far! after bringing the car and complaining to Land Rover corporate no one would help me and the transmission went on the car and the radiator which I was forced to pay for both even though I was still under warranty and the problem was never fixed for the whole time I had the vehicle! this created a hardship for me and it cost me over $15,000 which I paid and when I returned the vehicle I am now being sued for over $12,000 dollars which sounds crazy to me and the service manager who I complained about was later fired for not honoring warranties and being disrespectful! please help me! after researching this site I see that this is a on going problem with Range Rover!.

Coolant was found leaking onto the floor of the front passenger seat. In addition, one of the coolant hoses developed a leak, causing the vehicle to begin overheating. The dealer replaced the hose, but also reported the heater core o-rings needed to be swapped. The o-rings caused the original problem of coolant leaking to the vehicle's interior. After a short online investigation, this appears to be a problem for quite a few Range Rover owners.

The car has had continous problems with the air conditioning and overheating. 3 or 4 times the car has been returned to me with the warning lights still on. Twice the car was returned to me and had to be towed back to the dealer the same day for overheating. The car has now been in the dealership over 5 weeks, 2 new wiring harnesses, the original harness put back in , and still is over heating. The dealer and the manufacturer have been contacted daily since the problem began in may. No effort to replace/buy back/trade my car has been accepted. Dealer never returns phone calls or calls when promised. Vehicle used for work (catering) and given small loaner car that is unacceptable for business. Dealer has no respect for consumer and does not provide service demanded for this price vehicle. Was also told this was dealer demonstrator and found out it was purchased at auction.

Consumer received recall 00v328000/ engine coolant system failure in Jan 2001. Contacted closest dealer, pioneer center, san diego, CA which was 150 miles away, made appointment. Had to wait 3 weeks. Went to appointment, and was told dealer could not perform recall because they had too many vehicles. Consumer was upset because dealer could not guarantee an appointment, and refused to sell parts even if consumer paid for it. In meantime consumer was driving an unsafe vehicle.
