“I have a 2000 Land Rover discovery, which I love and despite that my vehicle has been in the shop many times, (almost every few months) I still love my truck, so I bought my husband one also, he has a 2001 Land Rover, but just recently I had to have my vehicle towed to the dealership. And I was told my engine sized and I have to replace the heads or the complete engine, this was all caused from a coolant leak in my throttle body, and the vehicle never gave a warning that my engine was running to hot or to cold, that is why there is a gage on the dash to provide this information. …”
NHTSA complaint #10179354, filed 2007-01, 36,000 miles“Purchased vehicle in july it has been looked at and repaired 8 times. Twice to the dealer, the second time they told me it had a cracked engine block and would cost 10,000 to replace the engine(that's what I paid for the car). The first time it was there for an inspection they told me in 2002 they replaced the radiator and 2005 it was there for overheating issues. The coolant fluid would not stay in and kept leaking. It constantly overheated and when I drove it off the lot, before I even got home the check engine light came on. …”
NHTSA complaint #10209170, filed 2007-11“The contact owns a 2000 Land Rover Discovery Ii. While driving less than 50 MPH, the vehicle began making grinding noises during acceleration. While attempting to make a left turn, the vehicle made a loud noise and drove as if something dropped in the vehicle. She managed to pull off the road and turned off the vehicle. She removed the key from the ignition, but the vehicle continued to move. The contact depressed the brake pedal and the vehicle stopped; however, it began moving again once she released her foot from the brake pedal. The emergency brake was applied and the vehicle stopped. …”
NHTSA complaint #10248607, filed 2008-11, 115,000 miles“This vehicle has caused us a lot of inconvenience. The recent accidents (within two weeks of each other) have also caused us to lose confidence in the vehicle, let along the financial losses. We are afraid of driving the vehicle. The manufacturer and the dealer refused to acknowledge the seriousness of the problem simply because there was no injury. Twice the rear suspension failed to work, causing the rear side of the vehicle to sink dangerously low. …”
