“Dt: the contact stated three-four years ago the car started leaking oil because the manufacturer installed cork gaskets instead of rubber gaskets. He had it repaired three-four years ago that cost the contact $1,100. Currently, it is leaking again and it is going to cost him $2,400.”
NHTSA complaint #10136433, filed 2005-09, 10,000 miles“There's a loud deep sound within the engine compartment that's heard when the vehicle is idling or running. This occurs because the engine cam shifts. Manufacturer is aware of this failure, and the solution is to place a special button in front the cam to avoid it from moving. The manufacturer and dealer have been aware of the problem while the vehicle was still under warranty but claimed it was normal engine noise. Now they want to change hundreds of dollars to fix it. A factory trained Land Rover repair specialist reported to consumer that Land Rover was aware of this since 1996.”

Nlm”
