NHTSA complaint 11512903Gas leak and can be dangerous, start a fire, I know this Land Rover flange is a recall in Land Rover lr4 and Range Rover sport but this should be a recall for Land Rover lr2 as well, same vehicle part having issues The contact stated that the vehicle is sitting at the dealership awaiting repairs.
NHTSA complaint 11512902The first day I purchased car problems started there was a rattle in the front end and emergency brake did not work. I drove for a short time because dealer told me it was a good reliable car and it shouldnt give me any problems. The rattle got worse tried to talk to dealer but he would not return my calls and he has done the same with other clients. Dealer told me all cars are hand picked and SAFETY INSPECTED. When the rattle got worse I took it to my repair shop they told me it would be around 10 thousand dollars to repair and be safe. The entire suspension was rusted to pieces and had drill out all components. Repair man said the rear wheels could not even be aligned it was rusted to bad. I inquired about rust when purchased but dealer said he didnt know what happened to safety inspected. Dealer refuses to even talk to me about it. I am a cancer patient and car was purchased to have a reliable car for doctor appointments and the dealer new that we discussed it. This dealer is going to get someone killed with his false statements if you read comments to his business many people have had similar issues with him. What will it take someone getting killed with his false advertising.
