This Problem Across All Years
Vehicle was driving down the highway in early April of 2025 when the engine showed a sudden loss of power and diminished performance with misfires and rough running. Thankfully I was able to pull to the side of the highway before automobiles behind me rear-ended the vehicle after such a sudden loss in driving speed. it was later determined that at roughly 56,000 miles, the automobile suffered a cracked intake valve on cylinder 2, which fell into the engine. The recommendation was a complete engine replacement after the diagnosis was done by an authorized Land Rover service center. This occurred roughly 13k miles after the vehicle was serviced for persistent misfires and rough idling. The CVVL unit and PCV Assembly parts were replaced at that time.

My car suddenly idles low and stops when foot was not on gas which cause the car to suddenly stops. It is unsafe to drive it now until it is fixed. It is 2018 and I bought this as used car at a Land Rover dealership 2/27/2022.

About a year and a half ago the vehicles warning lights started show thing like check engine, coolant low, battery low, engine overheating and the fan would start running very loudly and thw start stop feature stoped workong even though it indicated it was working. I took it to the dealership and they said they had fix whatever was wrong. A few months later it started up again but this time while going up a busy hill the vehicle started making a loud whining sound, was loosing power and eventually died completely. No lights no starter no nothing. Very dangerous for me and other drivers because it was a sudden stop.I had it towed to my home and the next day to the dealership. After a few days they called me and told me that the vehicle had experienced a "mechanical failure" and that Land Rover decided to ship a new engine to be installed. After a week I had what felt like a brand new car. Now a little over a year later the vehicle is doing the exact same thing with the warning lights, the fan, the loss of power, the stop start function not working, and this time it's no longer under warranty according to the dealership. I've decided to stop driving it because I'm afraid it may cut off during my drive to or from work in the freeway and get myself and or someone else killed.
