2012 Land Rover Range Rover Sport Engine Problems

“My car at approx 58000 miles had a knocking sound in the engine. Land rover centerville diagnosed it as needing a new tensioner, timing chain and supercharger isolator. The repair was $6200. 2 years later at 84000 miles the vehicle idled roughly and threw a code performance restricted along with the check engine light. I drove it slowly to the nearest auto repair shop (5 blocks) where it duplicated the rough idling and code and then the engine proceeded to blow up due to a faulty tensioner that caused the timing chain to slacken and destroy pistons and valves. …”

“On 18/03/2013 5:50 pm, the car lost power & stopped suddenly when I was driving in a shopping plaza. Thank goodness I'm still alive! The car stopped in the front of marshalls (so I have lots of witness). Peoples were trying to push my car to parking lot because the car blocked the traffic but we couldn't move the gear to n. I finally re-started it after more than 10+ times trying. The car was sent to dealer by truck. However, no feedback from range rover yet (23/03/2013), no range rover man cares their customer!!! It's obviously a power or engine big problem. …”

“1.) safety recell n623: gasoline fuel tank flange assembly cracking- I have contacted the Land Rover dealership several times and no one will help me schedule the appointment to service my vehicle. The customer service reps are rude and very unhelpful. 2.) my vehicle was also included in a class lawsuit regarding the timing chains and tensioners- the law suit was approved in june and I submitted all of my documentation. No one from the claims administration will contact me back.”

“The shop I took my vehicle too says the vehicle is leaking gas. They looked up the vin for recalls showed me the recall said I'd have to take it to a dealership. So I scheduled an appointment for Lakeland Jaguar and Land rover and they told me they couldn't help me and don't wanna do the work if JLR isn't gonna reimburse them for recall. I can smell gas and it definitely isn't safe to drive. The dealership has written a service sheet but never touched the vehicle. Said they cant see the recall. Systems down. Wondering what do I do?”

“Vehicle experienced a complete electrical failure while driving. The vehicle is a 2012 Range Rover Sport. At approximately 25 mph, the engine shut off, all exterior and interior lights went out, and the steering wheel locked in the straight‑ahead position. I temporarily lost control of the vehicle and was only able to stop safely because I was traveling at low speed. This incident created an immediate crash risk. An independent mechanic inspected the vehicle but could not identify the cause, noting vehicle in Fail Safe - scan showed multiple lost communication codes. …”
