general problems of the 2014 Land Rover Range Rover Sport

I was having suspension problems when I purchased the vehicle. Took into Land Rover proformed a suspension evaluation they made recommendations on what should be fixed I proformed the repairs but when I accelerated a hard knocking on the left side of the vehicle still happened I found a video on youtube about the staring knuckles failing on my 2014 and decided to check to see if mine had the problem I cleaned both staring knuckles and found the beginning of fracture cracks on both. I called Land Rover they said there were no recalls for my vehicle and I called corporate they said I need to bring it in for an inspection and there were no recalls for my vehicle. I will bring it in for inspection. But wanted to make NHTSA aware it's happening to my vehicle as well.

Component/system failure: the issue pertains to a timing chain failure malfunction, which has led to the disablement of the vehicle while driving. Yes, the affected component is available for inspection upon request. Based on additional information received this timing chain failure issue was raised and settled in a class action lawsuit that Jaguar agreed to pay for lessees of these models that all had a timing chain failure issue but the issues were not resolved with this vehicle. Safety concerns: the failure occurred while driving on highway 495, and the potential consequences could have been catastrophic. The vehicle's abrupt disablement in the middle of rush hour traffic in washington d. C. Posed an imminent risk of a near-fatal accident. A highway patrol officer had to intervene to redirect traffic and prevent other vehicles from crashing into the lane. This incident not only endangered the driver but also jeopardized the safety of countless other drivers on the road. It's crucial to highlight that such a failure could have been avoided with proper maintenance and early detection of the timing chain issue. The malfunction of the timing chain indeed poses risks, not only to your safety but potentially to others on the road as well. When crucial components fail unexpectedly, it can lead to hazardous situations such as sudden loss of power or control, increasing the likelihood of accidents. Confirmation by service centers: the problem has been diagnosed and confirmed by either a dealer or an independent service center. They have likely conducted thorough inspections to identify the root cause of the issue. Inspections: the vehicle or the faulty component was inspected at autotech DC by various parties. These inspections are crucial for gathering information and documenting the extent of the problem. It has now been towed to Land Rover bethesda for review and inspection and diagnosis of the issue. Additionally, this vehicle has a suspension fault.

This vehicle was sold to me with known defects by the dealer and the manufacturer. The vehicle has known repeated defects with the coolant system, low coolant warning light repeatedly coming on, radiator, repeated water pump failure, crossover pipe seeping, gear box/ gear shift failure, front suspension bottoming, unusual wearing of brakes, eco start/stop failure, repeated O2 oxygen sensor failure triggering check engine light warnings, windshield washer fluid leak behind front bumper. Manufacturer and dealership are aware of defects and perform deceptive, minimal repairs under warranty with the expectation that these defects will present bigger problems down the road after the warranty has expired and will incur cost at consumer expense and dealership/manufacturer profit. Failure of the dealership/manufacturer to repair these defects has caused engine failure in my vehicle that I have owned for 3 years. I have been in contact with manufacturer and they are stalling and delaying in providing any remedy for this matter. I have full documentation and service records since ownership of the car. Car was serviced at Land Rover dealerships. In addition, vehicle has had various recalls known to NHTSA.
