WHILE ON A TRIP FROM OHIO BACK TO CHARLOTTE, NC I WAS DRIVING THROUGH THE MOUNTAINS AND GOT A REDUCED ENGINE PERFORMANCE WARNING WHILE ON AN INCLINE WITH A TRUCK BEHIND ME AND THE ENGINE WOULD NOT PICK UP SPEED AND I BEGAN TO LOSE POWER AND ALMOST GOT HIT BY THE TRUCK BEHIND ME. I PULLED OVER, TOOK THE KEY OUT OF THE IGNITION, REINSERTED THE KEY AND WAS ABLE TO DRIVE AGAIN. UPON MY RESEARCH, I FOUND THAT THE WIRING ON THESE VEHICLES HAS A KNOWN ISSUE OF BEING CROSSED AND THE AUXILIARY COOLING PUMP HAS ISSUES AS WELL. I WAS TOLD BY MY MECHANIC THAT THE PART IS NOT COVERED AND NOR IS THE LABOR TO FIX THIS ISSUE. I CALLED LAND ROVER AND ALTHOUGH THEY ARE AWARE OF THIS ISSUE THAT THEY WILL NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. THIS IS AN OBVIOUS ISSUE WITH THE MANUFACTURING OF THE VEHICLE AS THEY ARE WELL AWARE OF THE WIRES BEING PUT IN INCORRECTLY! *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 LAND ROVER RANGE ROVER. WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH, THE CONTACT NOTICED SMOKE RISING FROM THE VEHICLE. HE WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE WHERE THE SMOKE ORIGINATED, HOWEVER, HE NOTICED FLAMES UNDERNEATH THE HOOD. THE FIRE EXTINGUISHED AFTER TEN MINUTES. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE FIRE WAS CAUSED BY A CHIPMUNK LIVING IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. THE VIN AND ENGINE SIZE WERE UNKNOWN. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 28,000.

I HAVE OWNED TWO 2006 RANGE ROVER HSE. THE FIRST ONE LAND ROVER PURCHASED BACK FROM ME DUE TO THEIR FAILURE TO BE ABLE TO FIX THE PROBLEM WITH THE ENGINE SMOKING AND LOSING POWER. THEY TOLD ME AT THE TIME THAT MY VEHICLE WAS THE ONLY ONE IN NORTH AMERICA TO HAVE THIS PARTICULAR PROBLEM. IT HAD AROUND 13,000 MILES ON IT WHEN THEY PURCHASED IT BACK FROM ME. THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN IN THE SHOP FOR ONE WEEK THE FIRST TIME ON A DIFFERENT PROBLEM AND THEN WHEN IT WENT IN FOR THE SMOKING ENGINE IT WAS IN THE SHOP FOR ABOUT 5 WEEKS BEFORE THEY BOUGHT IT BACK AND AT THAT TIME I PURCHASED ANOTHER 2006 RANGE ROVER HSE. MY LATEST RANGE ROVER IS IN THE SHOP FOR THE SMOKING ENGINE AND LOSS OF POWER. I GUESS THAT I HAVE THE ONLY TWO VEHICLES NOW IN NORTH AMERICA THAT ARE EXPERIENCING THESE ISSUES, BUT I SINCERELY DOUBT IT. *NM
