“While driving the car it just stopped. Engine shut off and left me stranded. Crank is damaged and I was told I need a new engine. Land rover will not replace the engine under warranty.

There was white smoke coming from underneath the hood of the vehicle due to the engine overheating. The failure occurred within 10 minutes of driving at various speeds. The vehicle was taken to dealer, who diagnosed that the auxiliary radiator, cooling system hose, and radiator deflector had failed. The vehicle was repaired; however, the failure persisted. …”
