A Range Rover With Reliability Problems? You're KIDDING? ;)

I've always said how bad a quality problem this line of vehicles has. It is unfortunate, but it is what it is.

Its made by ford what do you expect

Must be his first landrover...lol. Awww, should have got a Defender 90 (if anything)

My dad has one for towing his boat lol.

I've seen this type of thing in front of every dealership at one point or another.....

This is old news, lol and as much as I apreciate the Defender 90 they are of poor quality too, my friend had one and his tranny costs him $10,000.! He had many other quality issues and would never buy another.

Unfortunately Range Rover's are well known for their reliability issues. I would not touch one with a ten foot pole.

Was this guy born yesterday or something? -_-

Should have waited for the Autobiography edition.

Sure it's just as unreliable, but the interior is even nicer.

I don't trust JD powers or consumer reports, Why is Toyota so high on the list? Google Toyota engine sludge and pages upon pages pop up,nowhere in any of these books does it state any of this! There was a class action law suit against Toyota too, that tells me something. then google engine sludge Honda and nothing but Toyota comes up.It is biased towards Toyota! And I have owned and liked all my toyota 4x4s, there just not all that anymore.

Buick?, Linconl? Cadillac?, Jaguar?, Mercury?, Ford? Chrysler? Subaru? Hyundai?...something is wrong on that list.

JD is wrong. prob only after 3 months of ownership. Thats not true reliability

My S class hasn't missed a beat since I bought it, never one problem with electrics, motor, anything. I had a mini van from Dodge and it broke down on me after a year of use, mind you i was only using it to go on camp trips.

VW worse than this? come on americans, you gotta be joking.

JD Power should base their stats on mileage and not months. Jaguar owners don't drive that far everyday. True measurement is in mileage.

Unfortunately the life of these vehicles are mostly spent in the Shop. Costly repairs, break downs etc. but it goes great against mother nature

lol

probably wanted to cruise in style. THe LX is hideous and dated looking. But I guess cruising in style isnt helpful if your car wont even cruise.

That pic is Photoshopped for sure. Look at the words in yellow. They do not curve with the panels nor are they properly shaded (look at the Y on the rear fender). The words in white (on the side windows) are out of line with the waistline. Not that Range Rovers et al aren't garbage. They are. And being made by Ford is actually the exception to the rule at hand. They're made in Europe. Need I say more? Yap away about that comment if you like, but the truth is, I spent my entire early life believing in European vehicles. I woke up early, smelled the coffee, and got a life though. From SEAT (made in Spain) through Land Rover, through Mercedes, through SAAB to Lada (made in Russia)...all will make you pay dearly for your (unwise) decision to purchase them.
