Consumer Description

2003 DISCOVERY W/ 36K MILES. I WAS DRIVING OFF THE HIGHWAY AND HEARD A NOISE FROM THE ENGINE AND THAN OIL LIGHT CAME ON. PUT IN NEUTRAL AND PULLED OVER. HAD IT TOWED TO NEAREST GARAGE. OIL PUMP HAD "EXPLODED" AND RIPPED A WHOLE IN ENGINE "COVER." I SAW THE OIL PUMP GEAR IN PIECES. THERE IS A KNOWN TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN FOR DISCO 2003 OIL PUMP FAILURE RESULTING IN NEW ENGINE REPLACEMENT AS ONLY PERMANENT FIX. CURRENTLY MY CAR IS AT LAND ROVER HINSDALE ILLINOIS. WILL NOT COVER B/C WARRANTY IS UP 10MOS AGO. HAVE CONTACTED CUSTOMER CARE AND THEY ARE IN THE PROCESS OF DECIDING TO EITHER GIVE ME NOTHING OR A "GOOD WILL GESTURE" W/ UNLEAR MONETARY HELP. HUGE STRESS ON A CAR THAT HAS FEW MILES AND A KNOWN PROBLEM THAT COULD HAVE BEEN FIXED FOR 500 DOLLARS OR SO AND NOW COULD BE UP TO 10,000. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE. THANKS JK *TR
