About a year and a half ago the vehicles warning lights started show thing like check engine, coolant low, battery low, engine overheating and the fan would start running very loudly and thw start stop feature stoped workong even though it indicated it was working. I took it to the dealership and they said they had fix whatever was wrong. A few months later it started up again but this time while going up a busy hill the vehicle started making a loud whining sound, was loosing power and eventually died completely. No lights no starter no nothing. Very dangerous for me and other drivers because it was a sudden stop.I had it towed to my home and the next day to the dealership. After a few days they called me and told me that the vehicle had experienced a "mechanical failure" and that Land Rover decided to ship a new engine to be installed. After a week I had what felt like a brand new car. Now a little over a year later the vehicle is doing the exact same thing with the warning lights, the fan, the loss of power, the stop start function not working, and this time it's no longer under warranty according to the dealership. I've decided to stop driving it because I'm afraid it may cut off during my drive to or from work in the freeway and get myself and or someone else killed.

This vehicle loses power while operating at any speed. While going 70mph out of nowhere it goes down to 40 within seconds with zero warning and 3 accidents have almost happened. It was "fixed" once by a local Land Rover dealer but has happened 3 times since. The "D" for the drive gear flashes red when this happens, it appears the vehicle is going into lymp mode and is absolutely unsafe to drive.
