Low coolant warning came on. Topped off coolant with no leak visible under vehicle. Warning came back a week later. And leak was now visible. Vehicle towed to dealer and discovered bad water pump and hoses. Dealer cannot fix vehicle for last 5 weeks due to back ordered heater manifold tube. Under 45k miles and unusable. Dealer advised leak on belts requires them to be replaced. No global ETA on parts.

Laggy acceleration at "rolling stop" speeds of 2-10 mph. 2-4 second delay merging into traffic or turning into traffic. No amount of accelerator will alleviate the lag. Supercharged V6 gas engine.

There is a dangerous throttle lag when accelerating from a rolling stop. Many users have nearly had accidents like me. You press throttle and it does nothing for like 2 seconds then suddenly engine picks up... its a gasoline V6 engine so its not turbo lag.... and when you are actually stopped and accelerate its just fine. Its just when slowly rolling its extremely dangerous!!!

Accelerator has a significant "lag" when going from a moving "stop". as if when your turning and want to accelerate. This is a known problem with lr and they have been working on a software fix for months. It is dangerous!!
