2010 Land Rover Range Rover

DANGEROUS LAND ROVER TIMING CHAIN PROBLEM. A KNOWN AND DANGEROUS PROBLEM WITH LAND ROVER VEHICLES HAS BEEN BROUGHT TO MY ATTENTION AS A RESULT OF FAILED REPAIR ATTEMPTS AND RESEARCH. THERE IS A WELL-KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THE TIMING CHAINS ON 2010 LAND ROVER VEHICLES. OTHER VEHICLES ARE AFFECTED. MANY COMPLAINTS ARE IN EVIDENCE ON WEBSITES, CLASS ACTION LAWSUITS ARE BEING ORGANIZED, AND MANY EXPERT ARTICLES WRITTEN. HTTP://ROBISONSERVICE.BLOGSPOT.COM/2019/08/TIMING-CHAIN-PROBLEMS-2010-NEWER-JAGUAR.HTML DESPITE THIS, JAGUAR LAND ROVER NORTH AMERICA HAS IGNORED A POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS CONDITION AND WORSE ACTUALLY PROFITS FROM IT. DEALERS REPAIRING THESE VEHICLE ARE NOT ADDRESSING THE UNDERLYING ISSUE. CONSUMERS ARE PAYING FOR NEEDLESS AND INEFFECTIVE REPAIRS, AND A POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS CONDITION PERSISTS WHICH COULD LEAD TO CATASTROPHIC HARM. THIS IS A WELL-KNOWN AND POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS ENGINE DESIGN FAULT. IT HAS BEEN ALLEGED THAT LAND ROVER KNEW OF THIS CONDITION AT THE TIME THE VEHICLES WERE SOLD. IF A TIMING CHAIN SKIPS THE CONSEQUENCES COULD BE A DISASTER ACCORDING TO EXPERTS I HAVE CONSULTED.

I BOUGHT A 2010 SPORTS RANGE ROOVER FROM AUTOBAUN IN SAN DIEGO CALIF 92120. I DAY I TOOK POSSESSION OF IT SEVERELY OVER HEATED WITHOUT ANY SAFETY LIGHTS COMING ON. WE PULLED OVER THEN SLOWLY ADVANGED THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP THREE MILES AWAY. AT THE DEALERSHIP AND BEYOND IT WAS CONFIRMED THAT THE ENGINE AND THE COOLANT SYSTEM HAD BLOWN AND THE COST OF REPAIR IS $35,000. THE SALE MAN HAS A FELONG CONVICTION FOR ROLL BACKS AND ALSO FOR DRUG LAUNDERING SO HE SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN ALLOWED A DEALERS LICENSE. THEN ENGINE IS BLOWNS TROTTLES BLOWN AND THERE IS SOME COOLANT SIBSATANCE NOTED IN THE COOLANT SYSTEM. NO WARNING LIGHTS WENT ON. DEALER AMAR SOLD ME A WARRANTY REPRESENTING IT WOULD FIX ANYTHING FOR TWO YEARS. THE WARRANTY SERVICE SAID HE SOLD ME A LIMITED WARRANTY AND THAT SINCE IT HAPPENED ON DAY ONE AND THERE WAS A MICKEY MOUSE REPAIR OF THE COOLANT SYSTEM ATTEMPTED THAT THE DEALER KNEW ABOUT THE PROBLEM. ALSO THE FAX REPORT SHOWS A DIFFERENT DESCRIBTION OF THE VEHICLE THEM THE ONE SITTING IN MY DRIVEWAY. OWNER REFUSES TO REFUND MONEY, SEND ME REGISTRATION NOR INVALID WARRANTY MONEY. CAR ENGINE IS SHOT. NO WARNING LIGHTS RE HOT , NEED FOR SERVICE OR ENGINE LIGHT EVER CAME ON. MY SON'S FRIEND HAD ONLY BEEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE ONE AND ONE HALF HOURS WHEN HE THEY NOTICED STEAM COMING FROM THE FRONT OF THE VEHCILE. NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. NOTHING UNTIL THE STEAMING. THE CAR WAS BEING DRIVEN FOR THE FIRST TIME ON THE INTERSTATE AT APPROPRIATELY 60 MPH WHEN IT STARTED STEAMING. HAS THERE BEEN A RECALL OF THE CAR FOR NO WARNING LIGHTS, COOLANT SYSTEM OR ENGINE OR TROTTLE PROBLEMS? I LATER OBTAINED INFORMATION THAT THIS CAR WAS SOLD AS A GREY COLOR YET THE CAR WE HAVE IS WHITE?

AT RIGHT AROUND 59K MILES I HAD MY ENTIRE BREAKING SYSTEM UPGRADED. NEW HIGH PERFORMANCE CALIPERS, ROTORS, AND PADS. ALL RANGE ROVER PARTS, DONE AT THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP. AT 63K MILES THE RIGHT FRONT BREAK STARTED TO HAVE A TERRIBLE SQUEAKING AND SQUEALING METAL ON METAL SOUND AT SPEEDS BELOW 30 MPH THAT WOULD IMMEDIATELY STOP IF I TAPPED THE BRAKES BUT AS SOON AS I WOULD LET OFF IT WOULD START AGAIN AS IF THE CALIPER WASN'T FULLY OPENING. I TOOK IT IN AND THE DEALER DID A WARRANTY REPLACEMENT WHERE THEY SAID THEY WOULD REPLACE EVERYTHING. I PICKED IT UP A WEEK LATER, THEY HAD TOLD ME THEY REPLACED THE PADS ROTORS AND CALIPERS. I DROVE IT NO MORE THAN 10 MILES BEFORE ALL OF THE BRAKES WERE MAKING 10X WORSE NOISE. AGAIN STOPPING AS SOON AS YOU TAPPED THE BREAKS AND STARTING AGAIN IF YOU RELEASED. I LOOKED AT THE BREAKS TO NOTICE THAT CALIPERS CLEARLY WERE NOT BRAND NEW AND THE WHEELS HAD BEEN COVERED IN BREAK DUST IN THE 7 MILES I HAD GONE FROM THE CAR WASH WERE I HAD CLEANED THEM COMPLETELY. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER WHERE NO ONE COULD KEEP STRAIGHT WHAT HAD/HADN'T BEEN DONE. I BROUGHT UP THAT THE CALIPERS CLEARLY VISIBLY WERE NOT REPLACED AND THE OTHER SERVICE MANAGER SAID "OH THEY PROBABLY JUST MEANT REPLACED THE SLIDES WHEN THEY SAID THAT" NOW THE CAR IS BACK IN FOR MORE WORK WITH NO ESTIMATE ON WHEN IT WILL BE DONE.
