Driving on the belt line in Madison and car muffled and just shut down in gear. No warning, nothing. Could have caused a major accident. Coasted down the nearest exit and tried to restart. Would not turn. Timing chain malfunction according to Land Rover Madison wi. I need a whole new engine. I paid for a new engine, but now they put it on indefinite back order. I can-€™t get an engine because it-€™s on back order.

Driving on the belt line in Madison, Wisconsin on Mother-€™s Day and the engine just completely lost power and shut off. THERE WAS ABSOLUTELY NO WARNING ANYTHING WAS WRONG WITH THE CAR, no warning lights, nothing. Had to coast down an off ramp where a cop sat behind us and just waited for the tow truck to arrive. Engine was locked in gear and would not even try to start, we are lucky we were close to an exit or we would have caused an accident for sure. The car could not be placed in neutral. Attached is a recall that is exactly what happened to my vehicle.

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.

My 16 year old son was driving the 2016 LR4 that we purchased "pre-certified" less than 3 weeks ago from field's lr in northbrook Illinois. Going 68 on the highway, the wheel started to lock up, the gas peddle failed, and smoke started coming through the vents. He was able to keep a cool head for a new driver and get to side of road by sheer luck that the road veered to the left. Once in park more smoke came through vents and he and his friend jumped out and ran, while the engine continued to catch fire and eventually blow up, as shown in the video below. Post explosion pictures attached too.

The contact owns a 2016 Land Rover LR4. While driving approximately 60 mph, the vehicle suddenly shut off. Moments later, the engine was restarted and the vehicle operated normally. The vehicle was taken to Land Rover pasadena (3485 East Colorado blvd, pasadena, ca) to be diagnosed, but the failure could not be duplicated and no mechanical failure codes were displayed. The cause of the failure was not determined. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, but no assistance was offered. The failure mileage was 35,000. The VIN was unknown.
