| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: During the repair of our transmission, we began to get check engine lights. after the transmission was fixed, it was taken to the dealer for service. upon driving to the dealer, the car had no power. this became very difficult to drive and dangerous. trying to get up to the 65 mph speed limit on a freeway took almost 2 miles. i was also worried the car would stall in traffic due to this condition. the car was serviced and it was determined that the mass airflow sensor and the variable intake motors 1 and 2 had failed. the variable intake motors had failed 15,000 miles /12 months before and were replaced during the long block replacement. after all repairs were completed the car was taken home. the next day the check engine light came on. the following day i scheduled an appointment. during the drive to the dealer, the same power problems were present. this made driving this car dangerous in that there was no way to know if it would accelerate. the dealer then determined that the air intake manifold gasket had cracked. this too was a new part from the long block repair 15,000 miles /12 months prior. right now this repair is being performed. the land rover dealer acknowledges that these car should not be owned without any type of warranty due to the numerous problems. *jb |
