“The Land Rover velar was purchase on january 25, 2020 from stevens creek jaguar land over of san jose, ca. When it reached 1600 miles, I found that the vehicle had the oil leakage phenomenon.

“Engine seized (failed) just under 90k miles. I bought this car used in 2021 with only 7k miles on the vehicle and I've had it serviced as recommended by the manufacturer. The engine failed without warning and left me owing $23k on a useless vehicle. The manufacturers warranty was expired, so I'm left holding the bag and paying for a useless vehicle to remain in my garage until the loan is paid off in another 3-years.”
