I exited the highway and the vehicle was smoking. I traveled another 100 feet and the vehicle completely shut off. Smoke was pouring out of the engine compartment. I exited the vehicle and about a minute later the vehicle caught fire.

I HAD A 2011 LAND ROVER LR4 WITH MAJOR ISSUES THE CAR WAS TAKEN BACK BY THE DEALERSHIP ONLY A YEAR AND A HALF AFTER PURCHASE, DUE TO LEMON LAW. THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE CAR WITH A 2016 LR4 DUE TO THE MANY AND CONTINUED ISSUES. ONLY 6 MONTHS AFTER GETTING THE NEW LR4 THE CAR RANDOMLY CAUGHT FIRE IN THE SCHOOL PARKING LOT WHILE STATIONARY. THE CAR WAS OUT OF SERVICE FOR OVER THREE WEEKS AND AFTER ONLY A FEW DAYS OF GETTING THE CAR BACK THE PARTS THAT WERE REPLACED BY THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT ARE NOT WORKING PROPERLY. I AM AFRAID THE CAR MAY CATCH FIRE AGAIN. I AM CONCERNED THE CAR IS STILL A FIRE HAZARD AND THE SAFELY OF THE CAR OVERALL, BEING 5 MONTHS PREGNANT WITH TWO SMALL CHILDREN DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING IT. THE DEALERSHIP CANNOT LOOK AT THE CAR FOR MORE THAN 2 WEEKS AND SO I WILL BE WITHOUT A CAR UNTIL THEN AND UNTIL A DIAGNOSIS AND REPAIR CAN BE DONE. I HAVE ADDRESSED THESE MAJOR SAFELY CONCERNS WITH LAND ROVER CORPORATE BUT GET NOWHERE. I HAVE LET THEM KNOW THAT AT THIS POINT THE RISK IS TOO GREAT TO CONTINUE WITH THE CAR AND THEY NEED TO TAKE THE CAR BACK, I AM NOT ASKING TO BE COMPENSATED FOR THE MANY MANY INCONVENIENCES I HAVE EXPERIENCED OVER THE PAST 2 AND A HALF YEARS, BUT THAT I JUST NEED TO BE IN A CAR THAT IS SAFE FOR ME AND MY FAMILY AND THAT IS NOT A LAND ROVER PRODUCT! ANY HELP YOU COULD OFFER WOULD BE APPRECIATED! REGARDS, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
