I purchased a brand new 2017 land rover discovery sport hse for my daughter on may 20, 2017 from rusnak jaguar/land rover in anaheim hills, california and it has been at the land rover dealership more than it has been in my house. We noticed within a few days of buying the vehicle that there was a loud noise coming from the passenger's side. The dealership confirmed the noise being the b pillar.
My 2017 discovery sport with 22k miles, randomly shuts off while driving. The first time was on the freeway in traffic, and the car shut off, I had to put it in park and restart the car to put it back in gear. It went to the dealer who said it was a software problem, they updated the software and returned it to me. Four days later it happened again, total shut off while in movement, engine had to be restarted! Not worth my life!!!
The vehicle would accelerate normally than out of the blue. It looses power, engine light illuminating advising not to continue driving. Code advising p0299 'turbo charger'common problem apparently mechanics advising online forums and repair ideas. Vehicle only has approximately 60,000 on it and all approved maintenance. Now they are denying major repair that is a common issue!!
