RECALL REMEDY FAILURE-DEALER DENIED SAFETY REPAIR On 7/31 vehicle would shut off after cranking up. Eventually got a check engine light. I was out of town at the time and it was 630pm. I was able to take vehicle to a Advanced Auto so they could do a quick diagnostic check. Codes P0505--Idle Air Control System DTC Severity 2 of 3 and P0507--Idle Control System RPM Higher than expected also showed. I was able to drive back home but had to immediately give the car gas for the car to stay running. On 8/3 I contacted Land Rover/Jaguar and was told to bring the car in 8/4 for an appointment. By my 8/4 appointment I had already researched what could have been wrong with my vehicle and found that a recal for the same issue was done in 2022. Recall number--N627 H376..My land rover and VIN was associated with this recall. Once I arrived at the dealership and the car was looked at--it was determined the PCV assembly was bad (positive crankcase ventilator) and purge valve was bad. This is the exact same part (PCV) that was recalled in 2022. The dealership told me that the recall had been completed/closed in 2022 with the previous owner. I was told that I was responsible for the charges since the recall was completed in 2022. I do not believe this is correct. If the same issue happens again the manufacturer should reopen the recall again and I should not have had to pay for this. There was obviously another failure with the PCV assembly and the dealership/Land Rover Jaguar refused to fix the issue. In my research I also found out that this was an emissions recall and if not fixed I could possibly fail a DMV inspection check. In short--The exact same mechanical failure has returned and created an engine hazard. Land Rover/Jaguar refused to execute a permanent safety fix and charged me $1600 out of pocket for a failed safety component. I'm attaching information about PCV recall and can send invoice information/receipt when I can get it uploaded to my computer.
