WIRING HARNESS OF TWO YEAR OLD LAND ROVER LR4 LIKELY CONSTRUCTED OF SOY WIRES. RODENTS ARE ATTRACTED TO THE WIRES AND EAT THEM REGULARLY. THIS CAUSES REDUCED SAFETY THROUGH A COMPROMISED ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. MANUFACTURER AND DEALER REFUSES TO RECALL VEHICLES AND RE-INSTALL WITH APPROPRIATE AND SAFE WIRING. FURTHER, BOTH MANUFACTURER AND DEALER PUSH COST OF REPAIR ($1200) TO CONSUMER AND WILL NOT HONOR WARRANTY. CONSTRUCTING A WIRING HARNESS OUT OF MATERIALS ATTRACTIVE TO RODENTS APPEARS TO THIS ENGINEER TO BE A CLEAR DESIGN DEFECT THAT PUT…

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 u…

I found out that vehicles from 2013-2017 and beyond were equipped with faulty plastic outlet pipes and risks engine damage and failures. This pipe was because of a design flaw that Land Rover was aware of. The plastic coolant pipe will leak and break at the seam in the pipe as it is not strong enough to withstand the heat and pressure. The Land Rover vehicle owners will see low coolant and engine warning lights when the plastic outlet pipes leak coolant. In this case the Land Rover LR4 suffered engine failure and left me on the side of the …
