Bought a used 2016 Disco Sport HSE with 36k miles. Clean car fax. After a few months the check engine light would come on and bucking while driving. Mechanics we liked cleaned out carbon after getting a misfire code. Seemed to run well for months and made some long trips. A few weeks back ,
Light back in and no acceleration. Towed to garage , mechanics says 13 codes come up and too big for him. Now it has been sitting at a Rover dealership for 2 weeks supposedly waiting for a new engine because they said piston was cracked. Estimate if 13k fix. Livid isn’t enough of a word. No warranty????? What the heck ???? What can we do? Did we buy a lemon with engine compromised?

Welcome to the forum, sorry to hear your experience.

buying any car carries a risk, expensive or not. Since 2009 onward, the LR marque has been owned and operated by Tata Motors, known internationally as builders of the cheapest car.

all that being said, I had a coworker who purchased a brand new car which grenaded at 800 miles. Crap happens /-:

I thought LRvwas owned by Ford and/or Jaguar, according to our manual.?? Also, would there be any worth to reaching out to Land Rover for any kind of recourse? This happened right after warranty expired

Ford parted ways with the LR marque in 2008. Only from 2006-2008 did Ford own ALL of the brand, as BMW owned the Range Rover marque from Rover Group up until the end of 2005. It’s a colorful, incestuous history of ownership.

I sincerely doubt you’ll see any consideration, from LR, but you should certainly try
