NHTSA Complaint #11193787 — 2014 LAND ROVER RANGE ROVER SPORT

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.
