2016 LAND ROVER LR4 Complaints

Excessive tire wear under normal conditions. Tires evaluated by service dept of local auto dealer as defective. Pirelli refused to honor implied warrantee as expressed by tire dealer after a two year delay in responding to request for a pro rated adjustment. Tires were unsafe early in their life cycle.

The diagnosis on the LR4 was found to have jumped time. When this happened it also damaged the cylinder heads as this is an interference engine.

I had done a safety recall repair 'RECALL N623 FUEL TANK' on my 2016 Land Rover LR4 Landmark edition (32,051 miles) on 6-19-2022 at LAND ROVER PASADENA, 3485 East Colorado Blvd, Pasadena, CA 91107. Few days after they did the free recall fix I got the below error code 'P0442, Evaporative Emission system leak' that the dealership claims is not related to the recall fix that they did and wants to charge me $250 just to evaluate the issue. But I'm 100% certain this leak is some thing they didn't seal properly at the time of the recall. I'm very unhappy of the outcome and hope I can get this issue fixed without spending any money as before the recall I had no errors what so ever in this car and all started after the free recall fix.

The contact owns a 2016 Land Rover LR4. The contact received notification of the NHTSA Campaign Number: 21V635000 (Fuel System, Gasoline) however, the part to do the recall repair was not yet available. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The local dealer was notified of the issue and confirmed that parts were not yet available. The manufacturer was notified of the issue and the contact was informed that a temporary repair was available and to notify the dealer of the issue. The contact had not experienced a failure. Parts distribution disconnect.

The upper dash board of the LR4 is made out of I believe leather. But it's shrinking and distorting so badly that I worry about the passenger side airbag deploying properly. It could affect it potentially 2 ways, first, doesn't deploy because it cant, or it deploys incorrectly. Either could have devastating consequences to the front passenger. I have done research on this and Land Rover knows this to be an issue, yet they want the customer to pay for the repair. I've read multiple accounts of other customers with this issue, sometimes Land Rover fixed it, others they did not. I have not been in an accident where this has been an issue, I'm concerned it will be an issue based on research. You are more than welcome to take a look and verify the issue. If need be, I can reach out to others that may have been impacted by this issue. As you can see in the images it's shrinking so badly that it's tearing the stitching out. Which then could put a bind on on the deployment of the airbag.

Driving on the belt line in Madison and car muffled and just shut down in gear. No warning, nothing. Could have caused a major accident. Coasted down the nearest exit and tried to restart. Would not turn . Timing chain malfunction according to Land Rover Madison wi. I need a whole new engine. I paid for a new engine, but now they put it on indefinite back order. I can’t get an engine because it’s on back order.

i have not been able to have the recall component replaced because the parts have not been available. I have tried 2 different land rover dealerships since Oct 2021 and the part has yet to be available due to low supply. the engine light is now on on my dashboard as part of this recall.

Driving on the belt line in Madison, Wisconsin on Mother’s Day and the engine just completely lost power and shut off. THERE WAS ABSOLUTELY NO WARNING ANYTHING WAS WRONG WITH THE CAR, no warning lights, nothing. Had to coast down an off ramp where a cop sat behind us and just waited for the tow truck to arrive. Engine was locked in gear and would not even try to start, we are lucky we were close to an exit or we would have caused an accident for sure. The car could not be placed in neutral. Attached is a recall that is exactly what happened to my vehicle.
