general problems of the 2011 Land Rover Range Rover Sport

The car vibrates a lot. I bought this car 2 months ago and it's my first Land Rover. I loved the car. I want to use it to cross the united states and then take it to europe. This year I want to do something different because I lost a son at the beginning of the year. I really need the car. I want to cross all of the united states by car. I need the car to be safe.

At the beginning of the year my car started going into limp mode and shutting down. I had it inspected and the purge valve was faulty and I paid to have it replaced in August 2021. In the past month it’s started dying while driving, mostly as I’m pulling up to a stoplight. The engine will sputter and it will completely die while the car is in drive which means I loose controll of the steering wheel even while it’s still moving. I just had it inspected and it’s the same issue, the purge valve I’ve just replaced is stuck closed. So this will be the 3rd purge valve this car has had in a 4 month period. I’m afraid this is going to cause me to have an accident and it’s the same thing over and over so it sounds like it’s a faulty part.
