In 2016, the low engine coolant warning light came on in my car. I took it to the dealer and they tested it for a leak, didn't find one, so just topped off the fluid. Three months later, happened again. Took the car in and they did a quick pressure test and didn't find a leak. This was an ongoing problem and at one point, the dealer replaced a water pump to fix the problem. Still, the light would come back on. In November of 2018, low engine coolant light came on while I was driving and my engine overheated right then, while I was driving. I had car towed to the dealer and it cost me $3,400 to have the repairs done- lo and behold, all of the coolant had leaked out. After those repairs were done, I had the car back for about a week and the check engine light came on,,,they said it was an O2 sensor, which they replaced. Got car back- check engine light comes on again. Long story short- now it's the fuel injection system and a timing chain failure. Extremely costly repair and I am now questioning if this vehicle was ever road safe to begin with. They had my car for over a month replacing the timing chain and some other repairs, which Land Rover north America did pay half of. I am concerned because one of the service advisors at Land Rover frisco said that there are a lot of rovers with the low coolant light on and all they do is top off fluid. I am afraid they have a bigger problem than what they are acknowledging. Btw- Land Rover dallas is who did the latter repairs and Land Rover frisco initially replaced the water pump. . . Which was a waste of money.
