I KEPT COMPLAINING AND BRINGING THE CAR BACK TO THE FIRST PLACE IT BROKE DOWN WHICH WAS IN GEORGIA. I TRIED TO TAKE THE TRUCK TO A SERVICE PLACE IN NEW JERSEY BUT WAS TOLD I HAD TO BRING THE CAR BACK TO THE FIRST PLACE WHERE IT WAS SO CALLED REPAIRED! WHICH TO ME WAS TOO FAR! AFTER BRINGING THE CAR AND COMPLAINING TO LAND ROVER CORPORATE NO ONE WOULD HELP ME AND THE TRANSMISSION WENT ON THE CAR AND THE RADIATOR WHICH I WAS FORCED TO PAY FOR BOTH EVEN THOUGH I WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY AND THE PROBLEM WAS NEVER FIXED FOR THE WHOLE TIME I HAD THE VEHICLE!

I HAVE OWNED TWO 2006 RANGE ROVER HSE. THE FIRST ONE LAND ROVER PURCHASED BACK FROM ME DUE TO THEIR FAILURE TO BE ABLE TO FIX THE PROBLEM WITH THE ENGINE SMOKING AND LOSING POWER. THEY TOLD ME AT THE TIME THAT MY VEHICLE WAS THE ONLY ONE IN NORTH AMERICA TO HAVE THIS PARTICULAR PROBLEM. IT HAD AROUND 13,000 MILES ON IT WHEN THEY PURCHASED IT BACK FROM ME. THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN IN THE SHOP FOR ONE WEEK THE FIRST TIME ON A DIFFERENT PROBLEM AND THEN WHEN IT WENT IN FOR THE SMOKING ENGINE IT WAS IN THE SHOP FOR ABOUT 5 WEEKS BEFORE THEY BOUGHT IT BACK AND AT THAT TIME I PURCHASED ANOTHER 2006 RANGE ROVER HSE. MY LATEST RANGE ROVER IS IN THE SHOP FOR THE SMOKING ENGINE AND LOSS OF POWER. I GUESS THAT I HAVE THE ONLY TWO VEHICLES NOW IN NORTH AMERICA THAT ARE EXPERIENCING THESE ISSUES, BUT I SINCERELY DOUBT IT. *NM
