2008 Land Rover LR2

I HAVE THE LAND ROVER LR2 2008 AND THE ENGINE WOULD SHUT DOWN. I COULDN'T GET THE KEY OUT AND ENGINE'S ELECTRONIC IS NOT RESPONDING. I HAVE TO GET IT TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY COULDN'T EXPLAIN THE REASON. THEY CHARGED US $1900 ON REPLACING THE NEW ELECTRONIC BOARD AND SOME FLUID LEAKAGE ON THE CAR. WE JUST GOT OUR CAR BACK FROM THE DEALER THREE WEEKS EARLIER FOR A THOROUGH CHECK-UP AND INSPECTIONS ON THE CAR AND WE ALSO HAD OUR BRAKES CHANGED. THEY CHARGED US $1400 THREE WEEKS AGO AND NOW THEY ARE CHARGING US AGAIN. SO FRUSTRATING. *TR

LAND ROVER LR2 - INSERTED KEY TO START THE ENGINE - COMPLETELY DEAD EXCEPT FOR A STRANGE CLICKING SOUND FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. THE DRIVER DISPLAY WAS FLICKERING AS IF THERE WAS A SHORT CIRCUIT. NOTHING ELECTRICAL WORKED AT THIS STAGE. AFTER ABOUT 5 MINUTES THE INDICATORS STARTED BLINKING ALL ON THEIR OWN (HAZARD LIGHTS - BUT VERY FAST). TRIED TO JUMP START THE VEHICLE WITHOUT SUCCESS. WE HAVE THE KEY STUCK, VEHICLE IS DEAD AND IN PARK - EVENTUALLY HAD TO TOW TO THE DEALER WHO IS TRYING TO FIND THE CAUSE. *TR

1 &2. RANDOM NON-START WITH NO SYMPTOMS. INSERT KEY, PRESS BRAKE PEDDLE AND PUSH START BUTTON BUT NOTHING HAPPENS OTHER THAN A SOFT WHIRRING SOUND FOR ABOUT 3-5 SECONDS. 3. REPEAT TRIES, TAKE KEY IN AND OUT. LET SET FOR 10-15 MINUTES HAS WORKED MOST TIMES. AFTER 4TH TIME OVER 10 DAY PERIOD THE CAR WOULD NOT START AND WAS TOWED TO GARAGE. THEY HAD FOR 6 DAYS COULD FINE NO FAULT. HOWEVER, BATTER WAS DISCHARGED WITH NO INDICATION OF WHY. (PERHAPS REPEATED ATTEMPTS TO START) TWO DAYS AFTER WE GOT CAR BACK IT HAPPENED AGAIN. TOOK KEY OUT AND REPEATED START PROCESS AND IT STARTED. FEAR OF FAMILY BEING STUCK IN A HIGH RISK SITUATION HAS CAUSED US TO LIMIT THE USE OF THE VEHICLE AND INCREASED FRUSTRATION WITH THE BRAND AND THE DEALER. *TR

VEHICLE KEEP WARNING THAT COOLANT FLUID WAS LOW EVERY THREE WEEKS. WE KEPT REFILLING THE CONTAINER WITH COOLANT FLUID EVERY 3 WEEKS WHICH IS NOT NORMAL. ASSUME THERE WAS A LEAK. TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALER THEY FOUND HOSE LEAKING. DEALER REPLACED BLEED HOSE RESERVOIR TO ENGINE. LEAKING AT ENGINE. SHOULDN'T HAVE COOLANT PROBLEMS SO SOON WITH NEW VEHICLE. *TR

I OWN A 2008 LANDROVER LR2. THE VEHICLE (AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION) WENT INTO REVERSE WHEN PUT IN DRIVE. THIS PROBLEM OCCURS INTERMITTENTLY. THE DEALERSHIP AND LANDROVER'S CORPORATE OFFICE WERE BOTH CONTACTED. THEY STATED THAT "IT IS IMPOSSIBLE" FOR THIS TO HAPPEN AND WILL NOT EVEN ALLOW A TECHNICIAN TO OPEN THE TRANSMISSION TO LOOK FOR THE CAUSE. THE IS A DANGEROUS SITUATION AND THE MANUFACTURER IS TAKING NO ACTION TO REMEDIATE OR INVESTIGATE THE PROBLEM. *TR

AFTER DRIVING VEHICLE NORMALLY WITHOUT ANY SIGN OF A PROBLEM FOR ABOUT AN HOUR THEN PARKING FOR ABOUT 20MIN THE BATTERY WAS DEAD, UNABLE TO START BY JUMPING FROM SEVERAL LARGER VEHICLES. NO LIGHTS OR OTHER ACCESSORIES LEFT ON. FOLLOWING BEING TOWED TO THE DEALER TO HAVE THE BATTERY REPLACED, NO EXPLANATION FOR BATTERY FAILURE. IT WAS RETURNED TO US ON 1/26/08. THE VEHICLE THEN AGAIN STALLED IN THE STREET BACKING OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY. THIS OCCURRED LESS THAN 24 HOURS, ON 1/27/08, AFTER WE RECEIVED THE CAR BACK FROM THE DEALER. AGAIN TOWED TO DEALER WHO COULD NOT DIAGNOSE ANY PROBLEM, AND OFFERED NO EXPLANATION FOR THIS PROBLEM. DEALER STATED THE VEHICLE'S COMPUTER SYSTEM SHOWED NO FAULT CODES. *TR

2008 LAND ROVER LR2 HAS A PROBLEM WITH OVERHEATING AND NON ACCELERATION. *NJ THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE BEGAN KNOCKING SLIGHTLY AFTER STARTING IT. AFTER DRIVING A FEW FEET, IT WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. THE REDUCED ENGINE PERFORMANCE LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER AND A DAY LATER, THE DEALER INFORMED THE CONSUMER THAT THE FUEL LINE WAS FAULTY. FOUR DAYS LATER, THE VEHICLE STOPPED ACCELERATING AND IT FELT AS THOUGH THE VEHICLE WAS IN NEUTRAL. THE CONSUMER LOOKED DOWN AND THE DYNAMIC STABILITY CONTROL LIGHT HAD ILLUMINATED. WHEN THE THIRD INCIDENT OCCURRED, THE CONSUMER PULLED OVER, BUT THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT SHUT OFF. THE REDUCED ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED AGAIN AND THEN THE BATTERY LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE STEERING WHEEL THEN LOCKED. *JB
