Riri Scholars!
This video is a little different. I'm telling you about my poor experience with my Range Rover. I guess it is true when they say that Range Rover are America's most unreliable vehicle.
Thanks for letting me vent! Share your car horror stories in the comments :)

I have a 2016 evoque the engine light come on… Range Rover said $4k to fix it… I never fixed it…light been on for 3 years now and it’s still running 😂
love it lol
😂 have a car scanner and I do the similar. If I know if I need to worry or not before going to the shop
Most reliable part of Range Rover is the check engine light.
😂😂😂
You mean Land Rover, not Range Rover.
Lexus and Toyota all the way. Currently have a 2013 Lexus GS with 250k miles. Only replaced fluids, tires and brakes since new. Driving this car until it won’t go anymore.
Problem is that they are ugly and have no personality either.Reliable yes but.,.,.,cheap materials and ugly.
Range Rovers are like a lot of modern women: aesthetically pleasing but emotionally and financially draining with very limited future upside or advantage over a Mazda
Having previously done customer service for them, I was always shocked at how people will pay so much money for such old vehicles, with high mileage. The vehicle has a 4 year/50,000 mile warranty, which had already expired via years seeing as it was a 2016. So called luxury vehicles come with really high maintenance costs, that only increase after the manufacturer's warranty has expired. I took so many calls from people like you, who are unaware corporate cannot help. The manufacturer of your vehicle can only essentially help while the vehicle is under their warranty. After that, you are indeed on your own. I am so happy you got a brand new car. God is good and you are so blessed compared to many of the other horror stories I heard about. FYI, dealerships will still buy that faulty car from you with no problem and sell it to someone else. Also, if you can buy a $50,000 used car, you can buy a $50,000 new car. Few luxury vehicles are actually luxury. People need to pay less attention to hype and do their research. Honda and Toyota are still the King because their cars last. They are quality over hype.
I definitely appreciate you for this!! Wish I would have known this, but thank God he worked it all out 🥰
My issue is 2 fold. When they say get rid of it what do they mean? Scrap it or pass the problem to someone else who they will give the same “get rid of it” advice?
Secondly if they can’t fix it then this is a standards issue. Not sure how it works in the US but trading standards should get involved when registered businesses are selling the public products that are not fit for purpose.
This!! I couldn’t of said it any better in 3 years this vehicle will be 10 years old and at 50k dollars plus maintenance cost it’s definitely NOT worth it.. Range Rovers literally have 90% bad reviews..they look nice THATS it . Before buying any type of car i suggest you read BAD reviews vs listening to people who are just obsessed with car because it’s “luxury”… I’ll take reliability over “luxury” any day
Certain cars should just be leased , 3 yrs switch out let the dealership deal with any headache that may pop up
I only buy pre-owned certified luxury vehicles. And when the warranty runs out I buy an extended warranty or sell the car.
So sorry for everything you went through. 😞 A small yet significant blip in the annals of history. Thanks for sharing.
Comedy of errors. I’ve owned Land Rovers for 25 years. I currently have a 2017 D5 with the TD6. DEF is common to all modern diesels. If the vehicle hasn’t been driven for awhile the DEF can crystallize in the tank or clog the injector. Both are an easy fix. You clean them off. The dealer and service tech didn’t know what they were doing. All they had to do was follow a simple diagnostic procedure on topix to identify the sensor or wire fault. Not sure what was changed for $1300. Any sensor can be purchased from LR Direct and they come straight from the UK by DHL in a couple days. $450 for an oil change is a crime. You can get factory recommended oil and filter from Atlantic British for around $100. If you don’t do the service yourself, you should be able to have any shop change the oil with your oil for $50 or less. For any luxury brand there are indy or independent repair shops that are usually run by factory trained techs. Indy shops are often cheaper and offer higher level diagnostic services than dealerships. Dealerships tend to just change expensive parts without doing true diagnostic work. I’ve been in the Army for 30 years. I can’t recall using DEF in our vehicles. LR vehicles are used here in Colorado because they are unstoppable on mountain passes and snow.
Td6 is feasible in Midwest winters?engine reliability past 85k miles will it last to 200k miles?
Thank you so much for sharing. I have completely changed my mindset . Amazing video!
Incredible story. I've owned a Range Rover for the last 8 years. Excellent vehicles until you have to get repairs. They never really can pinpoint what's wrong. I'm dealing with a faulty transmission code now. Beautiful cars but not reliable.
once again down to staff not knowing their job
Do you ever have a oil leak problem
Any vehicle us excellent until it needs fixing. It's how many times it needs fixing and hiw.luch you spend to fix it that's the real questions.
@@TheIronChainMasternot Toyota though
I had a 2017 HSE supercharged one and another 2018 regular HSE - no warranty. My average monthly repair was $3,000. After 2 years I had enough and bought a Escalade esv and a corvette. Only American made where I can find parts locally from now on for me
My Lexus GX is near 200,000 miles, no major issues.
You're such a good story teller. I watched the entire video 😅
True, don't think I've ever watched a vid like this that's this long, and my attention span is shot lol...
Thank you for your honesty!!! ❤️
Bless your heart! Thanks you for being transparent. I was going back and forth about buying one. Now, it’s a no go! Thanks. I subscribed to you
I definitely understand we’re you’re coming from I own a Mercedes Benz and yes service is expensive and it ranges from $600-$1300 every time you go in for service however it’s only required 1 time per year or 10,000 miles whichever comes first. Have you considered leasing ? How much do you drive in a year ?
Thank you for your story I totally feel for you because I love Range Rovers too and this really made me think twice about getting a new one
I own a 2015 full size Range Rover HSE and I truly love mine. However, when the day comes to part ways I’m ready. Don’t need the headaches. Lol Great story btw.
I have 2013 L405 3 litre Diesel now 119000Kilometres, regularly service correctly, no issues. Perhaps because I am a British retired motor engineer in New Zealand i have avoided issues. The electronics of modern cars cause the problems, especially items like this DEL you have which we dont have to. Sorry this lady did not find the best engineers usually in the small specialised places,
I’ve been warning people about RR since the 90’s! Most listened, the others wished they did.
Whew...you did what I would have done. Thanks for sharing this, I want a range rover and I will beware about this issue if I come across a 2016.
they all have issues. I had a 2017 and the gas tank was recalled. The car also kept breaking down. It was horrible. I have had a Toyota SUV 1998 and there were not issues. And it’s on 400k miles and perfect. I have a Toyota Prius and no issues. I drive 80 hours a week for my job and spend $20 a week on gas. Ha. Had a Mercedes was a damn dream. The Range Rover is just an expense!
I walked away from buying this car because of you. Thank you! I got a 2021 Kia k5 with a full warranty! And I love it
Are you really sure though? I see you new KIA keep drivers racing around thinking your in a range rover sport. Thinking your elevated in seniority or something. ☺️
has it been stolen yet?
Kias are nothing close to reliable too, they burn oil like crazy and some of their engines blowup at 30,000 miles.
@@cdeeznutzz😂😂
DEF fluid is only for Diesel engines and you don't swap or change it like oil ..... DEF fluid gets used up similar to gasoline all you have to do is add more at your local diesel pump its the blue handle pump usually right next to the green diesel pump.
Sorry you had to go through that. Thanks for the information.
When they replaced the module, did they flush the DEF system? That’s most likely all it needed. My dad had the same light come on, and we flushed the system and it went out after driving for 100 miles and hasn’t come on since
What a story. Sometimes we falsely believe that the more the vehicle cost the better it is. Not so. I read a comment from the guy on a video of this guy throwing a rod with his Ferrari showing off. The guy said supercars are too delicate for the price you pay for them. You can say that for many luxury cars also. I've never owned a luxury car because living in Atlanta (a status town) I've had many friends who have. I was appalled at the high maintenance costs on these vehicles, plus the high labor costs. I was a Honda, Toyota and Mazda man (I had four) before I bought this used 2020 Kia Soul S in 2022. I love it. But I also love the reliability of the Honda, Mazda and Toyota. All of my friends who had bought those luxury cars - got rid of them for something more dependable. Young people don't get caught in the trap of status buying.
or just buy a lexus
So true I wasted so much money on cars I could have opened a big shop or some other business
My wife wanted a LR. I wasn't buying a Range Rover. So we went with the discovery sport. Two years later, we have four error codes. The dealership cost close to 7K. I'm done with RR. I did some research of the brand. They're at the bottom of the list when it comes to reliability. Honda here I come.
If you can't afford a luxury car and the expected cost if repair don't buy one.
@@smx3798 If I couldn't afford it I wouldn't buy it. But two years in and already a 7K repair. It's covered, but it's not a good sign.
@@smx3798 Luxury car does not and MUST NOT mean unreliable. There is a difference between having to pay 15k for a new engine at 70k miles cause the engine is badly engineered and the FAP is set wrongly and cannot regenerate or cause you have a coolant leak INTO the engine that makes it blow up and having the same problems at 300k miles.
Luxury can mean having to spend 7k for a repair but cannot and MUST NOT mean having to to it before 100k miles. Luxury should also mean quality.
JaguarLandRover is a disaster, there is no luxury in being stranded on the highway.
@@adalgisounoqualunque9033 Literally every luxury brand is low on reliability because they all have new tech. Real luxury brands, not Toyotas and Hondas with nicer interior.
@@OtisFlint instead of that evoque i bought a gla that is now close to 200k km and 10 years and has gone as smorì as silk and that every time that the belt needs a changing does not require to pull out the entire engine.
The simple fact that ingenium engines require being pulled out to change the chain is baffling to me.
Great story, the RR are so beautiful and the drive make you feel like you’re on the top of the world, but a used one is not recommended. You gotta lease these suckers and give it back after so, that way you don’t pay a penny for it
I have a used one I don’t get crazy isssues, there’s a difference between the maintenance to issues , honestly it’s hit or miss that why you need to learn about your car before you just buy it because it’s a Range Rover.
I have the exact make model and same age of car as you with 52,000 miles on the clock with full service history,ive owned it from new and can honestly say ive not had any issues with it what so ever.
You probably have the gasoline version. Not the diesel version.
The Range Rover mechanics should have helped you better.
They should have told you the solution was to just buy a Lexus.
Oh wow so sorry that happens to you. I was looking at a 2020 Velar but, after listening to your story I changed my mind.
These are the experiences with the diesel engines not with the regular Range Rover sport models. Do your research
@@krylixbygoldn8695 still, I'm skeptical about getting a 2014 rrs hse after seeing this video. Now I'm stuck in thoughts between getting this same rrs or 2016 lexus rx 350
I was looking at the 2020 Velar as well....I think I may have to pass on it.😔
I own some apartments in los Angeles never have to work in my life and i drive a 2010 Toyota Corolla with 221,000 miles still runs like new😊
I had a horror story with a 2020 Nissan that I bought brand new. Eventually, I was able to get them to buy the car back after it was all over the Lord blessed me with a 2021 Mazda 3 it’s really a good car! Congratulations
Here In Charlotte too …. Came close to grabbing a Range Rover sport . Mechanic at Euro Cars Southend told me parts for a range can take months to come in …… and Knowing my luck I would break down within a month. So I Kept my S-class and said prayers for my friends with Range Rovers …..
wish you the best! Mazda not bad .
You could have sold your Range Rover through Carlotz …they do consignment and sell it for you on their website and dealers lot .
Food for thought if you ever in a situation like that … saves guru credit from a repo ( voluntarily or not ) .
Your story is so regrettable & unbelievable considering the vehicle has only about 40.000 miles on it. I definitely feel your pain & even more so your complete frustration with the vehicle & the company/auto/maintenance dept. for not being able to fix the problem completely. Paying $50,000 dollars for a vehicle with extremely low milage & yet still having all these mechanical issues is absolutely UNACCEPTABLE. Unfortunately, I have many friends & associates who invested in a Range Rover that also gave them nothing but unending grief & stress, especially when they received the maintenance bill for repairs. I can happily say, & hopefully, I haven't jinxed myself, that I chose to purchase the Land Rover LR4 rather than the Range Rover & I have had no issues at all other than the regular vehicle needs such as oil change & new brakes. I'm also fortunate enough to have a mechanic who is qualified to do all the work on my vehicle & so I don't have to deal with the extreme overpricing that is routinely found at Land Rover/Rande Rover dealership/maintenance dept. Land Rover/Range Rover vehicles are absolutely beautifully stunning & I know how difficult it must have been for you to finally accept the fact that you have a "lemon" that is going to quickly become a money pit for you & so you have to get rid of it. Hopefully, the Mazda you purchased is giving you nothing but security & pleasure in driving.
So Sorry that happen to you. But everything worked out at the end ❤️
This is why i'm totally against DEI and DEF. I cant believe you had to go through this, im so sorry.
I’m so sorry you went through that. I had a similar experience with my Mustang when it reached 100,000 miles. I will never buy a American made car ever again. I thought about purchasing a used Range Rover.. but after your story I will think twice. It’s such a beautiful car. Thanks for sharing!!
American made cars may not be great but the maintenance is lower. They are cheaper to fix. Never buy RR out of warranty. They are super expensive to fix and maintain. You are better off with a Honda or Toyota. Best cars around and cheaper to maintain.
the Gospel is that all have sinned and fall short of the glory of GOD and thus we all deserve eternity in hell, an eternity of judgment. BUT, in GOD's great love and mercy, He sent His only begotten SON into the world to die for the world's sins and to be risen for its justification, that whomever from the world would believe in Him would be saved and have life everlasting. Amen.
it was an eco boost 4 cylinder wasn’t it. if you get anything american make sure its a v8 engine america makes great v8s that last forever. that rule is the exact opposite for foreign cars.
Why after her story? Do mean to tell me you haven't enquired about Range Rover until this episode? The internet is crowded with horror stories re JLR products. Surely in this modern age a person goes immediately to internet forums to find out before committing.
You thought the mustang was bad and your over there thinking that a used range rover would be any better???! 😂🤣
Once I stumbled upon this video I had to watch it! I had a similar luxurious vehicle and was a total nightmare week after week month after month and I finally decided to get rid of it lost over 50% of the original price, and so I ended up buying a Chevy traverse yup , for a fraction of the cost which now I have put on about 100,000 miles, and I only did, regular oil changes! 🙏🙏
I probably would’ve just simply totaled the car. Hell let the insurance company finish paying for it
Lowkey I feel like all companies can remotely send errors to your car so you take it to them to fix
The delays with these car shops and parts nowadays is a serious issue.
I have a 2016 sport. Ppl ask me all the time what year it is and how good it looks and how they are thinking about getting one. “WAIT!! HOLD ON, THAT AINT WHAT YOU WANT TO DO!!” Thats what my typical response be. Its like a natural reflex.
Very helpful... Sorry about the situation 😢....
Thank you for your story. Im sorry you had to go through some hardship on your favorite car. Have you mention to the mechanics, maybe it was a faulty sensor? the sensor that reads the exhaust fluid quality? Best of luck on your Mazda
My thoughts exactly. If they're throwing the `parts bin` at it, then they should start with the inexpensive ones.
Happy that you found a great deal! Brand new! Can't beat that! Won't he do it!!!😀
My old saying: You will never stop fixing a Rover, but you will never stop a Toyota moving on.
Hey I just watched a video with someone having you exact issue. They said you should press the start buttons hold it down without touching the break pedal. It seems to work for a huge number of people. I know you probably got rid of it already
This issue is not a Land Rover issue. The emissions control systems for all diesel engines are extremely, and I mean EXTREMELY unreliable. Speak to anyone who owns a diesel pick up truck or semi truck and you will hear the same stories, or worse. Some semi truck owners have had their small businesses fail due to the extremely high repair costs and unreliability of these systems. And yes, even professional technicians at the dealerships are unable to properly diagnose the faults. They simply follow a checklist that the computer system tells them to and start replacing parts in the hopes that one of said replacements will fix the issue. Among semi truck operators it is not uncommon to hear of $10,000 to $30,000 repair jobs. The most infuriating thing is that there is nothing mechanically wrong with your vehicle. It can still get you where you need to go but because the software within the vehicle determines that the emissions are not clean enough it throws your car into a “derate” mode. That is the reason why your car won’t start. For your pain and financial distress, you can thank the EPA, the state of California, and the Democratic Party for requiring such stringent thresholds without demanding that vehicle manufacturers provide reliable systems. Instead the costs are passed on to you, the consumer, while these vehicle manufacturers collect record profits from parts and repairs.
Welcome to corporate owned America.
Very true coming from and owner operator truck driver. It’s the def system period.
Delete the DEF system….that’s what I did with my truck that had the Def system and an EGR delete as well….it chokes down your engine….when I did that the truck came alive with NO Issues
Wow! I too love Range Rovers, but their reliability concerns have always kept me away from them. I've heard many similar stories just like yours. I would love to see your story go viral; I think Land Rover/Range Rovers lack of commitment to their customers should encourage even the rich to stop buying them.
There's a reason Land Rover resale value is GARBAGE
Never buy a luxury vehicle used from carmax thats for sure.
I'd stay away from most modern diesel engine vehicles. They've been made overly complex with emissions equipment (and that DEF is ridiculous). If I saw a diesel Range Rover for sale, I wouldn't walk, I'd RUN away from it. There's a reason they're priced thousands less than their gas counterparts. They have all kinds of issues. Glad you were able to get rid of it and get something more reliable. I hate that you had to do the voluntary repo thing and take a hit to your credit. Good luck with your new Mazda! Stay safe and stay well.
Sorry for what you had to go through. One should research on the reliability of a car before purchase, the info is widely available on the internet. Jaguar Land Rover has the worst Reliability reputation of any car manufacturer. Land Rover executives admitted this recently and promised to fix it going forward. But most motor industry analysts expect no change. In your case, they knowingly sold you junk. Get a lawyer and make them pay.
Thank you ,i really love Rang Rover i want to buy one, but i really scare ,do yo think because is a diesel engine ?
THANKU!!! a friend of mine bought a RR and she also has many issues with it... I want a RR but after hearing your Adventure U will get a reg vehicle... ( and I wanted a silver one like yours)
Range Rovers are expensive Fords, just like Maserati's are expensive Chryslers. German cars are always worth the cost because even though it can be expensive at repair (if ever needed), they are so so so reliable. I bought a Mercedes Benz with 60,000 miles, drove for about 2 years before needing anything major, and at 200,000 miles, even though there were no issues, I traded, got more than what I paid for the car, and upgraded.
I would say this is experience based. I will never own another Audi. So far the most reliable cars I owned are Mercedes E550 and Jaguar XFR. I do have a RRSSC and love it.
@@rodneyalexander6775 most reliable car I've ever owned was a 97 Honda Accord I purchased brand new. I sold it in 2019. I'm only buying Honda from here on out. Will never listen to my wife again when it comes to buying a car.
European cars are thee least reliable cars on the planet. Honda and Toyota are it!
Lexus is the most reliable luxury car of all time, and only a FEW Mercedes are reliable too.
Old maserati*s are a problem I have been driving 2020 Maserati Levante trofeo it now has 90000km and no problem no major service
Thanks for sharing your nightmare. I was about to buy a Velar D180 and wasn’t sure about the diesel engine. I’m in Canada and I would have the same issues that you had in case the DEF fails.
I have buy a Land Rover Discovery Sport 2016 disel !! In 6 month have stoped 2 time and now will be for the 3th … first the gear selector gone .. 20 days waiting the replacement 900€ the the timing Chain gone other 3150€ .. now coming back to home the damage on the turbo that must be replace 😂
Just get a p250, D180 will suffer with timing chain stretching, turbo failure, oil dilution and more
You didn't know they sell range rovers with diesel engines? In the used market at least in the u.k. diesel rovers make up like 80%+ of the sales as petrol is incredibly uneconomical with these SUV's. Another fun fact about land
ange rovers is a lot of owners say the land
ange rovers natural habitat is on the back of a recovery truck as they can be very unreliable.
Omg! I had a different issue with my Range Rover Evoque but it was still the same headache and stress you had. I bought it from a fake luxury dealership and on my way home the check engine light came on. I went back n forth with the dealership and they never found what was wrong. I eventually took it to RR and it was the catalytic converter. They wanted $3400 to fix it. By the grace of GOD!!!! The check engine light went off and I sold it to Carmax! I was so happy to get that damn lemon off my hands. It's so crazy bc one day I was at a stop light and a complete stranger rolled down his window and asked if i liked my RR. I said yes for the most part. He looked at me and I was like, should I not? He was like do your research on it. The light turned green and he drove away. I was like 😳. That made me realize RR ain't really all that. Im sad you did the voluntary repo bc of the negative hit to your credit. I would've just tried to resell after the light went off but i understand it's all about timing. I'm so happy you got a new car and your done with dumb RR lol i learned to do research on the type of car and company before buying
I'm sorry you went through that. I'm doing a ton of research on the Range Rover sport and most of the issues with them are associated with the diesel engines. Any other complaints have to do with people just not wanting to spend luxury car prices for regular maintenance or sensors bugging out after accidents which can happen in any car, but it's most likely to happen in a Land Rover product. Wish me luck 😬 lol
Long story:
I had something similar happen to me when buying my car. Went to carmax and purchased a 2014 Audi q5. The car was below mileage for the year PLUS I was in the market for a compact suv and fell in love with this one. Went in, test drove the car (ran like butter. Had that new car smell)and was already pre approved so the purchase went smoothly. About 3-5 days later my oil light came on out of nowhere. Luckily carmax has that 30 day return policy so I utilized that. Called carmax and they told me my system might have to be reset and of course it was much worse. According to them, the pipe that gave my car its turbo boost was cracked and leaking. They let me know they could fix it and I’d have it back in a week or so. A week goes by and the new part they bought was leaking worse than the original part. I was told it would take another week for them to order and install a brand new piece(I was driving a loaner car at this point). A week goes by and I get no phone call to update me on the condition of my car so i took the initiative and called them first. I was redirected to the folks that have been helping me this whole time and was told AGAIN that it would take another week bc they couldn’t find a new piece for my car. At this point we’re at the beginning of week 4. I had the car for 3 days….(rmbr carmax has a 30 day return policy) Carmax ended up having my car for the entire month. I called them for the last time and told them to stop any work that they were doing on the car and that I’d like to speak with the service manager face to face. Ended up speaking with the guy and he let me know that the service area was swamped and that they have the new piece for the car and It would be ready tmr morning. Before this meeting I found out carmax puts aftermarket parts on ALL their cars and that worried me bc this was a German made car. He reassured that everything would be fine and that they do this all the time but if I felt uncomfortable, I could look into their maxcare program if I wanted to get the car repaired by Audi themselves. The downfall of that meant I’d have to sell the car back to carmax, add on an additional $4000 and buy it back. I put all my faith into this last repair, got the call and got excited. Received my keys, turned my car on and was distraught. Not only did my ac come out really slow but the car was now smoking.. a lot. Drove it right up to the service area and the guy let me know that bc the second piece leaked so bad, there was excess oil left in the pipe and that it would take about 3 days to really burn off. Accepted that excuse and drove the car home. At that point I didn’t feel comfortable with the car anymore. Gave the car another 3 days (all I had left of the 30 day return policy) and immediately gave the car back. The car was not just smoking at this point, it wasn’t just having ac problems but now the engine was revving itself while in park which caused the lights inside to flicker. also when you turn the car off it was STILL smoking like.. engulfing the entire back side of the car type of smoke.
Will NEVER buy a car luxury or not from carmax EVER again.
This is the thing with Range Rovers, they feel great to sit inside them and to look at them but the issues are never ending. I went to test drive a defender - beautiful car, handled great - i was ready to order one but when I finished the 40 min test drive it broke. Aparently the engine broke so I took it as a blessing and never looked at another RR since.
Great video and a cautionary tale for everyone that thinks buying a USED RR is a flex. It is not! If you’ve gotta have one, lease one brand new, or pay the price!
I tell people to ALWAYS go with Lexus/Toyota if not Acura/Honda if you want a foreign.
Wooow. Crazy story. Sorry you went thru that. I’m looking at one now. But it’s a gas engine. I’m still hesitant tho. Now I’m checking out what issues gas variant owners have had.
I purchased a used one a few years ago. The water pump tore up on it in the pick up line for my kids. I was beyond pissed.
Wow!!! Thank you so much for sharing your story. Your Mazda is my next dream car....I love Mazadas...Always wanted one of the newer ones.. God and the universal forces will make a way...So happy you found a resolution
I just got myself a 2020 nissan versa sv in monarch orange. ive been obsessed with watching these kinds of videos. I originally wanted a toyota but this is what i just ended up leaving with, i dropped the gun too fast and jumped on it without seeing what else cars i had to choose from, lol but i'm grateful, god is good! i have videos of my car on my channel as well!
Ive always have wanted a Range Rover it’s been my dream car I’ve been to charlotte nc to look at them at the dealership I’m just worried about the reliability.
Thank You for your service 🙌🏽. Sorry to hear your ordeal…you and your Range Range are both pretty … I’ve only dealt with old school Land Rover pre 1998 RRC & Defender… I work on my own- repair/rebuild- (old school) - no electronics,no air sus, all manual. No Landy’s or Range Rover After 1999. diesel in Europe no problem- European diesel in America a problem. also consider when software updates are needed……. Me : prior US Navy. “Land Rover turning owners into mechanics for over 70yrs”
My parents owned a Land Rover Discovery 2003, the car always broke down and is expensive to maintain but have to admit the riding quality is top notch. My advice is not to buy Range Rover or Land Rover unless you have money to pay the maintenance
It’s a car you have to lease new and turn it back in
I decided to buy a Mazda cx-5 as well and I’ve been loving it. I love luxury cars, but I’d choose reliability as well. The cx-5 is nice though!
it doesn’t always matter but when buying a luxury car such as that one it’s best to find one with meticulous maintenance record keeping. a solid paper trail is important to know how well the car is maintained. so many people assume they can treat these cars like they do their toyota but you can’t. if you’re unfortunate enough to get the vehicle after such a person then it’s 100% gamble. i’m glad you got into something more reliable. good luck!
I would suggest buying a Lexus GX or LX series for that kind of money.
If the car won’t start how did you manage to turn it round ? The first shot shows the steering wheel towards the centre of the road the when your walking away from the car the steering wheel is beside the curb
I have a Range Rover, it’s amazing to me how many times I’ve had to disconnect the battery cables, let it sit disconnected for an hour and reconnect to clear fault codes so systems would operate properly. I also own an old 2007 Lexus es350 that’s like a nice pair of jeans and it’s at 189,000 miles with no issues other than normal wear maintenance. Your a military girl, nothing should bring you to tears.
I was looking at a diesel Range Rover Sport, but ended up getting a regular gas engine. Sorry you had to deal with such an inconvenience.
Thank you for sharing your story, I do not think this is the car for me lol
Bryson Tiller~ “DON’T”
Thanks for changing my mind
Definitely making me wonder if I should grab one myself.
Thank you Thank you Thamk you, I felt like you, I Love that car, I wanted to buy it for my bday😔 my heart goes out to you for everything you went thru, Glad you over came❤ Thanks for saving Me RiRi❤
I'm a tech within the Charlotte/ Fayetteville area range rovers are absolutely terrible so many issues and problems in fact just put an engine in one do to cool
cooling system failure so sad
People get suckered into buying them and they are 100 percent a pain in the butt to work on
Diesel cars especially cars with turbos Need to be warmed up properly or else the Turbo will fail you also need to let it cool down for at least 10 minutes depending how far you drove bc of the Turbos!
You should have taken the car back to the guys who replaced the module for $3,000. It sounds like they misdiagnosed the issue.
This is why I own 3 old cars, That I can fix myself.
I drive big trucks but as far as consumer Diesel vehicles. I always recommend Deleting the DPF/DEF injection system as well as the EGR and getting the car tuned after that. You end up with better fuel economy and performance. Plus no longer haveing the add that fluid and servicing those components.
God bless you and your ability to not let it totally get you down. God always come through for those that love Him. 😇
i have been battling these situations and now i have 95k miles lol, i wish i can have more money next year to replace it with a trx or defender
Sorry that you so much trouble beautiful, but glad you at a warranty. I have always heard maintenance on Range Rover is a real beast you just reinforced that for me.
I've been planning to order for a 2019 Range Rover Autobiography. And I'm doing my due diligence. I dont know, but I've seen that there several stories of unreliability of these RR cars. And it looks like the manufacturer doesn't listen. I now have to go through some time to change my mind and a replacement. Maybe I'll go for a GLS
So many horror stories ! 🙏🏻🇺🇸🇬🇧
Range Rovers are to be leased only, I’ve leased two. Never buy one.
I have a Range Rover Velar 2022 and I love my truck. Your first Mistake was purchasing a Used Range Rover and Purchasing from Carmax. What I did was I purchased my truck from the Land Rover dealership brand new with a 1.9% interest rate with a 100,000 mile warranty and 8 oil changes included in my purchase.
How much was it?
She didn’t buy it from Carmax. She wanted to sell it to Carmax. She said she bout it from a “fake luxury car dealer” Basically those 2nd 3rd owner dealerships on the side of in town highways that have plenty of BMWs and Benzes
@@soILLitsADVISED clearly from the thumbnail posted her she got her car from carmax, car has a yellow bow on it and is in a carmax garage! Pay attention.
I put black tape over the check engine light in my lr4 . The only check engine I do is when it won’t start 😂
Seems like the sports models are more troublesome than the full size Range Rovers. Either way with theses car if your into doing maintenance don’t even think about buying one. It’s not if you will have to get them serviced… it’s WHEN you will get them serviced.
And yet I’ve heard that the full sized ones are normally the worst. I think all Range Rovers are generally just the same.
Extended test drive would have posibly revealed itself, unfortunately this problem is a problem with all Disel vehicles sold in US not just Land Rover
You should've trade it in for the Mazda so your credit wouldn't be bad. Also you could've unplug the battery and plugged it back in and maybe it would've reprogrammed it
People fail to realize these cars BMWs Audi cost crazy money to maintain as repair thats why you don't. See wealthy people buy them they invest in stocks and houses
I feel bad for you . They all drained your wallet for no reason. You were dealing with dealers and mechanics that are not diesel experts. This was a simple cheap fix. You have 1 DEF injector on that TD6. It sprays directly into the exhaust. You can lay on the ground and remove it yourself from the exhaust. Take it out and clean it and remove the uretha crystals yourself. Reset the code with an OBD scan tool, and the message will change. Then the message will clear after driving a few miles. As long as you clean the injector once a year, it will never come back. Americans should not be afraid of diesels, 1/2 the cars around the world are,
you just have to have experience with them.
Yup she needed a mechanic who specializes in this.
Damn. :(
All that trouble for a part the could have been easily replaced.
Yep, this was an easy fix but as a jaguar f pace owner with the third 3k+ repair in a year they are incompetent at jlr. Very bad service techs
Wow thanks for sharing the story.
I believe most luxury cars are insanely expensive to run😢😮 and you really have to have your witts about you 😮
I know range rovers are really top tier luxury but I believe luxury for me with no fuss is a Lexus 🎉
But happy you sorted 👏🏾❤️
I used to want a Range Rover or a Porsche. After hearing about all the issues. I went with a Mercedes Benz.
Lol I had a Mercedes brand new started having issues upon issues sis two years in, let me tell you I took it in and got me a Mazda CX9. I was over paying all my money for the headaches. Before my Benz i had a Acura MDX problems after 3 years. So yah I’m am done with expensive cars for now
Mercedes vehicles are literally no better. All of the German and British brands are the same.
@@nunyvanstta135 rubbish, bmw is super solid
You would think ppl would see this and know to avoid RR like the plague but nooo
Its because they’re good looking cars. They’re not so bad if you can actually afford the maintenance costs, its just if you can’t then thats where the problem lies.
