2015 Land Rover Discovery Sport Engine Problems

“I need assistance in getting my vehicle recalled. Back in march the engine light came on and the dealer said they reset the code and made a repair to the engine. Last month the engine light came on again and I had to have the car towed to the dealer because I could not go in reverse. The dealer is now telling me I need a new transmission which cost $11,000.00. The car is only 4 years old. Attached is the report the dealer wrote up also it looks like there was a recall on the car but my VIN is not included in the recall. My vehicle is still like a new car other than this light on. …”

Consequently, the vehicle was subsequently towed back to Pep Boys. Despite the efforts of multiple Pep Boys technicians, the root cause of the issue remained elusive. …”

“I (for the first time) have experienced a broken timing chain on a 80000 km (49000 mile) well maintained engine.

After calling the Land Rover dealership here in Windsor, Ontario, they had told me that “things happen” and it's not covered. If a customer does their part (ie. changes oil), and a relatively new engine falls apart internally (out of the customers control), this is a reliability issue. …”

“Intake Camshaft Variable Cam Timing Actuator failed while driving. Vehicle engine stopped running, I had to make an emergency stop on the freeway. Vehicle had a check engine light on when stopped. Vehicle was inspected at an independent shop and it was determined that the Intake Camshaft Variable Cam Timing Actuator failed and needed to be replaced along with the associated cam drive components.”

“Engine light repeatedly comes on intermittantly despite multiple attempts to repair by dealership and address error codes over a period of over 2 years and over 20,000 miles (many occurrences between 10k and 31k miles). Dealer manager indicated he would file claim with documentation to Land Rover, but he has not returned calls the past 3 weeks.”
