MY CAR WAS TAKEN IN TO A DEALER MULTIPLE TIMES REGARDING WHAT I BELIEVED WERE SEIZED AND LEAKING MAGNERIDE SHOCKS. WHEN ON FREEWAY AND CAR HIT A BUMP THE WHOLE CAR WOULD GIVE A LOUD THUMP AND STABILITY WAS SERIOUSLY COMPROMISED TO THE POINT TURNS DID NOT FEEL SAFE IF THERE WAS A 'ROUGH' ROAD. DEALER FAILED TO RECOGNIZE IT EVEN AFTER ME BRINGING IT IN AND STATING THE PROBLEM AS THEY SAID THAT ISSUE WOULD BE MORE RARE. HAD A THIRD PARTY INSTALL NEW MAGNERIDE SHOCKS... 2 WERE COMPLETELY SEIZED UP IN EXTENDED POSITION ALMOST TO THE POINT THEY COULDN'T BE REMOVED AND A THIRD WAS LEAKING. THERE IS NO MENTION OF ANY SERVICE, LIFESPAN, OR MAINTENANCE ON THE MAGNERIDE SHOCKS. WHILE IN THE PROCESS OF SUSPENSION REMOVAL, BOTH FRONT AXLES WERE BROKEN AS THE INSTALLER NOTICED THE FRONT AXLE THREADS WERE STRIPPED AT THE HUB AND ONE NUT SIEZED AND ANOTHER WAS DANGEROUSLY LOOSE... ENDED UP NEEDING TWO NEW FRONT AXLES AND WHEEL BEARING. THE MAIN ISSUE IS THE REACTION BETWEEN THE METALS, THE HUBS ARE ALUMINIUM AND THE BOLTS ARE STEEL AND THAT CAUSES GALVANIC CORROSION AND CAN BE A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. SHOULD THERE BE SHEARING OR BREAKAGE WHILE DRIVING IT COULD BE LETHAL AND IT'S A SERIOUS DESIGN FLAW.

ON 9/22/2017 I PURCHASED A CERTIFIED PRE-OWNED(CPO) RANGE ROVER EVOQUE FROM DIMMITT LAND ROVER IN CLEARWATER. IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE PURCHASE, I BROUGHT UP SEVERAL ISSUES WITH THE VEHICLE TO INCLUDE A MISSING FRONT PASSENGER WINDOW TINT, 3 BLOWN SPEAKERS ON THE FRONT PASSENGER DOOR, PART OF THE A PILLAR FALLING OFF WHILE DRIVING, PROBLEMS WITH THE ECO START/STOP NOT WORKING, AND A TIRE THAT SOUNDED LIKE A TRACTOR TRAILER. SINCE 9/22/2017 I HAVE BEEN TO THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT SOME 6 TIMES, THE MOST RECENT ON JUNE 8TH 2018 FOR ECO START/STOP ISSUE AND THE AGAIN THE TIRE NOISE. NEITHER ONE WAS ADDRESSED AT ALL. I ALSO BROUGHT THE VEHICLE IN FOR SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE TWICE SINCE 9/22/2017 AND BOTH TIME THE MAINTENANCE REQUIRED A TIRE MANDATORY TIRE ROTATION AT 40,000 AND 50,000 MILES. ON NEITHER OCCASION WAS THE TIRE ROTATION DONE. I WAS FORCED TO CONDUCT THE TIRE ROTATION MYSELF ON 6/9/2018. I AM A DISABLED VETERAN WITH MULTIPLE MEDICAL CONDITIONS AND HAVE NO BUSINESS DOING LABOR WORK. THIS IS WHY I PAIED THEM TO DO THE WORK. THEY ALSO HAVE USED MY DISABILITY TO DISCRIMINATE AGAINST ME ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS GOING AS FAR AS USING PREDATORY TACTICS WITH MY DISABILITY TO TRY TO SELL ME OUT OF MY VEHICLE INSTEAD OF FIXING THE PROBLEM.
