| Engine And Engine Cooling problems |
We recently bought this vehicle a few weeks ago. Since we’ve had it I have been noticing a strong smell of burning engine coolant. I have looked at similar models of the 2021 Range Rover Sports and they do have recalls for issues with the engine coolant system. I assume this is the same problem the phev Range Rover Sport is having. Today I have a low engine coolant message pop up on the dash.
My car completely died and would not start up ending up towing it to the mechanic and he said it was the DC to DC converter and I heard this has been happening to mild hybrid range rovers / sport an all electric ones too.
The alternator on my vehicle (DC to DC convertor) went while driving home with only one sensor prompting me to turn back around and head home to be safe. The car essentially died and power steering was lost. There were no prior warnings or indicators of an issue. I had 15 minutes to make it back home. The car died in intersection, luckily at corner of my street and folks had to help push it into the driveway. Having searched for a replacement, there are no after market options, no used options, and my mechanic was told we are customer 30,335 as thousands of owners are experiencing this very same problem. The estimate weight time for the part was 3 months, at the least. So, we are stuck with an invaluable car, sitting for three months, and forced to pay storage fees at the mechanic shop as well as keeping current on the monthly car payment.
Over the last few months my warning light for engine coolant appears and says add coolant now. I will add coolant at preferred vendor. Two weeks later my coolant light will appear again saying add coolant now. When I looked myself after that 4th occasion I saw that the coolant tank was in fact empty and my car was not experiencing a sensory or electrical issue. As far as electrical my car volume will turn up and down on its on at sporadic times. I have had a professional take a look and not one service technician mentioned that I may have a possible leak or electrical problem . They just fill my fluids. However, I am certain there is a leak since my tank is empty almost every 10-14 days and my warning light is coming on to verify. I will be going back to land rover for them to do a more thorough inspection.
Leaking coolant onto the turbocharger. My coolant light has been coming on often for the past year or so. A month after I top off coolant my warnings light indicates low coolant. I’ve been to Land Rover range rover multiple times with this issue, I was told there is no issue and they top it off and tell me it’s good to go, a month later same issue. I’ve noticed there has been a recall on this matter for 2019-2021 Land Rover ranger rover phev but not on Range Rover Sport 2021 even though there has been many complaints about this. I went in today and I was not talking no for an answer and finally they check and as I had suspected coolant is leaking onto turbocharger. I will attach a photo that the technician from Jaguar Land Rover fort lauderdale has uploaded to the service status tracker link, there you will see that it is the same issue that the recall was on for Land Rover Range Rover Sport phev vehicles recall no. 23v221000. They have not added my specific Range Rover Sport to the recall.
