You could always try the shotgun approach. No, I'm not suggesting you turn up at the dealer with a shotgun. Simply that you spread the information to as many media outlets as you can think of.
Wow this can’t be right I would look into it further .thats a right kick in the nuts ..customer service my arse .why do they always put it down to poor services Surely there must be a bit of leeway When you service a car ..22000 miles the engine hasn’t even worn in ...and they serviced it 9 months ago they should have detected a Possible fault then .I’ve just heard back from Land Rover regarding my 66 plate Range Rover 4.4 with 22,000 miles on clock where the engine had suddenly failed with no warning whilst driving due to the bearings in the crank, and they have said as this is a v8 engine, instead of the v6, it is not related to the known engine fault and is probably due to poor servicing as one of my services was a few months late. Bearing in mind I had the car serviced only 9 months ago from Land Rover and have only done 1,000 miles since they replaced the turbo under the warranty and changed the oil filter and oil.
They have made the decision not to pay anything towards this, and have quoted me £27,879 to fix the car. Bearing in mind I paid £75,000 for the car from a land rover main dealer as a used approved, and have only driven 7,000 in it since, as it had done 15,000 when I bought it.
I can’t believe this, now I am stuck with a car that is useless and I cannot afford nearly £30k to fix it, and even if I could, I wouldn’t dare to drive it again in case the engine fails again.
I have now lost of faith in Land Rover and will not purchase any further cars from them, and would urge anyone else to be very careful if they have a Land Rover vehicle that is no longer under warranty. Do not expect any loyalty or good will from them.
Hello. I just have that. No warranty. How did you manage that. I'm really stressed out and advice would be amazingFare play to LR, told me today that they accept responsibility and that they will pay full costs for replacement engine. Still not happy that it happend but cannot fault the customer service.....may hang onto the car for a while after all!
Well there is still if I recall in the UK something similar I believe it is called Group Litigation Order and a court may allow the group if there are a certain number of complaints.I'm pretty sure that their is no such thing as a "Class Action" in UK law, it's a US thing. The EU law may be available but since the UK has left the EU, this may not be applicable either.
It is definitely a gamble but on a car that has very low mileage and when the issues is known from manufacturer and that such issues can cause accidents then I can assure you that courts will listen to us we just need to substantiate it.May as well pi55 up a rope. Nothing will happen. Cars under warranty will be repaired and anything outside that or non franchised dealers will be discarded as end of life vehicles.
If you buy a massive wagon with an engine designed to work for the duration of warranty it's like leasehold. You renew it ...
Buying used cars is a gamble
Rubbish. Nothing will happen and the vehicle will not be followed on.It is definitely a gamble but on a car that has very low mileage and when the issues is known from manufacturer and that such issues can cause accidents then I can assure you that courts will listen to us we just need to substantiate it.
