“I purchased a 2004 Range Rover on the evening of 05/12/11 from momentum Land Rover in texas. On the morning of 05/13/11 the car began to over heat and stopped. Took it back to the dealer and they claimed that the wrong type of coolant was placed in the car. Mind you, that I did not service the car within the 10 hours I drove off the lot. The car was in the shop for 4 days. Picked the car up and two days later the same thing occurred. It over heated and stopped. This time the dealer st that the thermostat needed replacing. The car was there for 15 days. …”
