On Monday, October 28, 2024, while driving on [XXX] [XXX] from McKinney, TX, to Irving, TX, a red oil can light appeared on my vehicle's dashboard. Shortly after, the car struggled to accelerate. I pulled over, and white smoke began coming through the dashboard vents. Noticing a strong smell, my daughter and I exited the vehicle. We observed fluid leaking on the ground and smoke intensifying. Soon after, flames engulfed the vehicle's undercarriage. The entire car was consumed by fire. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
The engine's cooling pipes melt leading to the cooling system failing. This then overheats the engine which leads to dangerous driving conditions. This has been a known issue in other Range Rover VINs and also affects this one.
Humming noise when the car accelerates. Also stalls for a second intermittently when accelerating. I have had the car in service for this issue several times. Every time they tell me it's due to needing an update. The issue started approx 8 weeks after I purchased the vehicle.
I have a brand new 2019 Range rover sport. I purchased my vehicle on 3/29/2019 and in 7.5 months I only have 4,194 miles so it shows I don't drive much. I took my first road trip to visit my son and I must say I only stop for gas one time. As I'm driving on the highway everything was great until I got near richmond Virginia and my low coolant light came on. I quickly pulled over and got out and noticed that all of my coolant was coming out from the bottom. I immediately called for a tow and my car was taken to landrover of richmond. Once the vehicle was inspected they are claiming that a pebble or road debris 3cm wide hit the radiator and caused the coolant to come and in turn fried the engine. This is craziness for a vehicle that cost $80K. I'm insured by progressive and my vehicle is now deemed a total loss because it needs a new engine & radiator worth $33K. I'm at a lost right now. This problem sounds identical to what the recent recall shows, but my VIN# is not included. Really leads me to believe I purchased the car with a manufacturer defect.
