In February car began to increase in temp while driving, I pulled over and saw coolant leaking. I had car Towed to repair center and entire cooling system changed out. 1 month later same exact thing took place. Entire cooling system repaired for the second time. I called Land Rover inquiring about any complaints or recalls Associated w cooling system. None found at that time. In August while driving at 40 mph and after 10 min of driving in the evening. Dash read Low coolant level, no temp change decision to pull over at upcoming gas station was made in my head. I CHECKED THE Temp GUAGE WHICH read normal, at that time I noticed smoke everywhere, I immediately pulled To the side of the road, temp was Still reading normal. Parked and opened hood where engine was full of black smoke engulfed in smoke as if on fire, tow truck was called and the vehicle was towed home, because shops were closed it was 8 pm. Family freind changed out front plastic pipe that had a huge crack and radiator to see if car will run after event, but engine shakes and smokes when started. Absolutely NO overheating indicators were initiated. Absolutely no overheating warning WAS provided before or during event. Engine completely impaired Now. Undriveable., frequent vin number checks for recall were conducted when this week saw recall for same vehicle same problem!

Timing chain failure at low miles. Land Rover knows that thousands of these cars have issues with the timing chain failing yet refuses to do anything to correct the problem.

My car had a coolant leak and started overheating and i immediately took it to the dealership. It was found that the water pump and coolant was leaking in the front and back and the temp gauge was broken. This car has less than 68k miles and shouldn-??t happen. I found a recall with the same vehicle but my vin is not pulling up in the recall. I also found out from other services that they are fixing this a lot with the model and the manufacturer won-??t take responsibility. If this isn-??t fixed my car will catch fire.

Vehicle was in motion at 65 miles per hour on a major highway. Within a few minutes of warning indicators showing that the vehicle's charging system was not functioning, the car began to jolt and loose power. The vehicle lost all power within a minute. Fluid was leaking from the vehicle. Hazard lights were not functioning. The vehicle was towed. The initial diagnosis was a failed pulley, requiring that the engine be replaced.
