At the beginning of the year my car started going into limp mode and shutting down. I had it inspected and the purge valve was faulty and I paid to have it replaced in august 2021. In the past month it-??s started dying while driving, mostly as I-??m pulling up to a stoplight. The engine will sputter and it will completely die while the car is in drive which means I loose controll of the steering wheel even while it-??s still moving. I just had it inspected and it-??s the same issue, the purge valve I-??ve just replaced is stuck closed. So this will be the 3rd purge valve this car has had in a 4 month period. I-??m afraid this is going to cause me to have an accident and it-??s the same thing over and over so it sounds like it-??s a faulty part.

Purchased the vehicle 07/10/2020 check engine light came on 8/17/2020 called the warranty company took it to redwood city range rover dealership 8/18 (see below invoice) paid for car rental through that time. Picked up range rover on 8/31. Check engine light came back on 9/14 (see below invoice) with gas smell took it straight to dealership got another rent a car paid for services 9/18 called carvana and spoke with alex 9/18 to let them know I only had the range rover for 2 months minus the 2 weeks the dealership had it to fix and I have been having "major" problems with the vehicle. I was told by "alex' (he would not give me the initial of his last name) apologized and said there was nothing carvana could do. He stated the dealership probably did something to the gas tubes or loosened something. I told him I wanted to speak with a manager or I am contacting the BBB and the automotive association because the problems I am having with the range rover are not "minor" these were "major" problems and faulty engine, gas, and the other repairs could have been disasterous to my children and my life had it sparked or ran hot. Alex said he would have someone contact me. He later called and sent a text a hour later asking for copies of the invoice and said the management team and maintenence is requesting it to look over. I have yet to hear anything else from carvana. During this time the vehicle have been driven on freeway, city streets, in motion, taken to the gas station. (invoices are attached)

Takata recall. All Land Rover/Jaguar 5.0 engines from 2010 to 2013 are affected by timing chain tensioner guides. This was an engineering error on oem equipment. Timing guides are made of aluminium and piston on tensioner is steel. Engine will develop a tick/knock. Not addressing the issue will lead to timing issues and engine failures. Land Rover/Jaguar is aware of the issue and fix is at consumer expense of over $5K. They will install a newly designed guide with a steel "button" insert for piston to rest on. Ive seen posts with issues arising as little as 7K miles. No check engine lights with this issue. This issue should've been addressed as a recall.

Known problem, however Land Rover na has not addressed. Timing chain guides wear pre maturely causing knock in motor which could lead to catastrophic failure. As a mechanic this is a safety concern this is a very popular issue with the 2010-2012 5.0L motors. There is an updated timing chain quide, however this job is 2-4K dollars to complete.
