The contact owns a 2008 Land Rover LR2. The contact was driving 60 mph when the vehicle stalled due to coolant leaking on the alternator and causing the alternator to malfunction. The contact took the vehicle to a local mechanic and was advised that there was an open recall regarding the coolant hose. The contact called the manufacturer regarding the unknown recall and was advised that the vehicle was included in a manufacturers recall but not for the alternator. The contact stated that they never received a recall notice. The failure mileage was 53,000.
Periodically, the car temperature would suddenly shoot up overheating and the a.C. would stop working. I had to pull over to cool down the engine and then the temperature would return back to normal and the a.C would start working again. Land Rover said it was an "intermittent open in the fan motor when it was hot". they replaced the fan assembly and module and reprogrammed the ECM.
A/C stopped cooling. Ac was blowing hot air only. Took vehicle to dealer numerous of time to check ac system since July 22, 2008. The dealer finally found the problem on June 30, 2009. Turns out the ac system was not working. Dealer had to replace A/C compressor.
