“First brand new landrover LR2 had failed to operate while driving twice. Brought into dealership--told me transmission failed and gave me another new LR2. This second LR2 has overheated twice (again, while driving). The most recent event occurred while driving in the city and suddenly started to overheat while driving. I immediately dropped it off at the dealership which was nearby and smoke was coming out of the hood. It has been in the shop for going on to four weeks now.”
NHTSA complaint #10240779, filed 2008-09, 14,000 miles“Vehicle keep warning that coolant fluid was low every three weeks. We kept refilling the container with coolant fluid every 3 weeks which is not normal. Assume there was a leak. Took vehicle to dealer they found hose leaking. Dealer replaced bleed hose reservoir to engine. Leaking at engine. Shouldn't have coolant problems so soon with new vehicle.”
