Consumer Description

HEAD GASKET AND ENGINE PROBLEM. CAR STARTED OFF HAVING COOLANT LEAK AND PROGRESSIVELY GOT WORSE AND IS NOW INOPERABLE. IT HAS BEEN INOPERABLE SINCE SEPTEMBER 2008. THERE ARE A NUMBER OF FORUMS THAT DESCRIBE THIS SAME ISSUE SO IT IS WELL KNOWN WITHIN THE LR ORGANIZATION. I DO NOT HAVE $3500 TO REPLACE MY ENGINE NOR COVER THE ADDITIONAL $3K FOR LABOR TO HAVE IT INSTALLED. SINCE LR KNOWINGLY MANUFACTURED THIS DEFECTIVE ENGINE (MADE OUT OF ALUMINUM AND IRON CAST WHICH ARE NOT COMPATIBLE), THEY SHOULD BE LIABLE FOR REPLACING THIS ENGINE. *TR
