Range Rover Hybrid - Major Problem
Discussion
Image this, it’s midnight, dark and raining. All of a sudden the car looses power on a busy motorway with no hard shoulder. You’ve got you family in the car and you need to get to a safe place. The consequences of what could happen are frightening.
The car gets recovered, repaired and returned. But, you find out that LandRover was fully aware of the fault but failed to inform you.
This is a major issue which apparently effects all hybrid RR’s produced this year. However, there are owners out there who are unaware.
LandRover’s response is unforgivable when you think this could easily have resulted in a fatality.
When you spend 100k on a premium car, you expect better !

If you wanted a reliable car, why did yo buy a Land Rover?
Exactly. Buy Japanese or Korean. Or Vauxhall, who were 7th.
Sadly LR came in at 24th out of 26 last year, with only Audi and BMW being even more unreliable.

Did this happen? Or are we just supposed to wonder what it would feel like if it did? Your post doesn't make it very clear.The car gets recovered, repaired and returned. But, you find out that LandRover was fully aware of the fault but failed to inform you.

I do agree that if you spend £100,000 on a car (assuming that's the RRP, I mean - don't just spend £100,000 on any old thing you find on gumtree) then there should be very little wrong with it, and it certainly shouldn't just stop dead while driving along.

My wife's LR has done 38k miles in 3 years and hasn't missed a beat.I guess I should just get a stty Vauxhall instead.

Sad situation indeed OP. The car gets recovered, repaired and returned. But, you find out that LandRover was fully aware of the fault but failed to inform you.

But it may help other owners if you gave some information about the actual problem - or are you mirroring LRs approach to user-information? Couldn't you share the information with others?
We can't give any feedback on LRs response if you don't tell us what happened and what their response was FFS!
