| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: On two separate occasions, one days after my car was cleared for a second time by a land rover dealer. my car went into 'limited perfomance mode' while i was commuting to work....i was in the high speed lane and the middle lane and my car would not accelerate about 20 mph. i had to call 911 on the second occasion as it happened because i was in the merge of 2 highways in the evening. my car also had downshifting problems where the downhill decent control would come on out of nowhere causing my car to buck forward and drop down to second gear. the dealership again said that is could not be duplicated 3 times before they finally found something and then it kept happening anyway. my transmission let go on the highway at just over 60k miles and then my engine lining shifted spewing oil only about 2 months after. the dealerships are well aware of the poor quality of these vehicles and yet, they sell and re-sell them to the unsuspecting consumers. i have a lawyer and will be suing lr for everything i can, including lost wages, emotional and physical distress, and anything else that can be tied into my two year nightmare. i strongly suggest you get these vehicles off the road before someone gets killed. thank you *tr |
