WE HAD OUR BRAKES REPLACED AT LAND ROVER. TWO WEEKS LATER, WHILE DRIVING ON I95 THE EMERGENCY BRAKE WENT ON WITH NO WARNING CAUSING US TO GET HIT FROM BEHIND BY A TRUCK. BOTH OF MY CHILDREN WERE IN THE CAR. THE CAR WAS SMASHED WITH ALL OF THE BACK WINDOWS BREAKING AND GLASS GOING EVERYWHERE. THANKFULLY NO ONE WAS HURT BUT THIS COULD HAVE RESULTED IN A FATALITY. LAND ROVER DID A DIAGNOSTIC AND WE WERE JUST CALLED AND TOLD THAT THEIR TEAM IN THE UK COULD NOT REPLICATE THE MALFUNCTION. THEY WILL PROVIDE NO EXPLANATION OR HELP IN ANY WAY. *TR

How to use these: a complaint is one owner’s report, filed voluntarily and published unverified. Patterns matter more than any single story. If several owners describe the same failure at similar mileage, put that system at the top of your pre-purchase inspection list. Back to the full 2012 Land Rover Lr4 (7 Seat) verdict →
