2016 LAND ROVER LR4 Complaints
Formal safety complaint against dealer for recall malpractice and non-compliance with federal safety repair procedures under Campaign 21V635000. During recall service, the service department completely bypassed the mandatory TOPIx Workshop Manual Section 310-01 electronic priming sequence, leaving high-pressure fuel rails completely dry upon reassembly. Bypassing this safety protocol introduced severe air pockets into the high-pressure fuel system. Time-stamped OBD diagnostic screenshots taken on the dealer lot right before departure confirm the vehicle's computer had already registered severe fuel pressure drops and engine misfires due to dry-running High-Pressure Fuel Pumps and injectors. This mechanical deviation caused the mechanical High-Pressure Fuel Pumps to fail internally and the Bank 2 fuel injectors to seize permanently wide open, resulting in continuous fuel dumping, fouled spark plugs, a destroyed oxygen sensor, and a total loss of motive power on a public roadway. Furthermore, the dealership generated federal recall compliance documentation certifying a quality-control test drive was performed when the official repair order shows identical "In" and "Out" mileage, proving the vehicle never left the service bay. The dealer refuses to remedy the related damage under federal guidelines and refuses to communicate a resolution. Due to intentional document falsification, consumer demands the manufacturer fund a $0.00 balance remedy executed at an alternate certified facility including: (1) Replacement of BOTH High-Pressure Fuel Pumps (HPFPs), (2) Replacement of all Bank 2 injectors, plugs, and oxygen sensor, (3) Crankcase oil flush due to fuel dilution, (4) Engine compression and emissions back-pressure tests, and (5) A written 12-month nationwide parts/labor warranty.;
