NHTSA Complaint #11617060 — 2018 LAND ROVER RANGE ROVER SPORT

Engine failed at 43k miles. RR would not take apart engine to identify failure. Local RR repair shop (Elite Rovers) claims they see 3-4 dead RR engines per week usually between 60k-80k miles. He thinks it’s a coolant component failure that damages the engine. This many failures per week is not normal. There seems to be a class action lawsuit over engine failure in the UK and Australia—so this is not a small problem. My husband was driving the car when it happened and if on the freeway could have been seriously hurt. No warning, no engine light, no leaks…. Just locked up and died. 6 months later my neighbors RR engine also locked up and died. There are 6 dead engine RR at the dealer right now that people are abandoning because the cost to put a new engine in costs more than the value of the car or there are no engines available. Who can make JLR (manufacturer) take responsibility for this known issue that they are playing as if they dont know?
