Engine

3 reports1 fire
“I have a 2015 LR4 with 103k miles. Out of nowhere, engine started making a loud clicking noise. No warning lights, car up to this point had been driving perfectly. Then low coolant and oil signals came on the next day, but no signs of leaking. Added some oil and coolant to get it to a mechanic ( stopped driving it once the noise started). Upon next start up, plume of white smoke. Final verdict was an overheated engine and that it was done. I had pumps replaced 2 years ago, regular service and maintenance.”

“HAD SURGERY ON LEG SO WAS SITTING IN BACKSEAT BEHIND THE PASSENGER SEAT. I WAS SITTING SIDEWAYS TO KEEP MY LEG ELEVATED. WHEN WE ARRIVED AT OUR CABIN AND THE CAR WAS PARKED....I SPUN AROUND TO NORMAL SEATING POSITION TO REMOVE THE SEAT BELT AND GET OUT OF THE CAR. HOWEVER, THE SEAT BELT TENSIONER KEPT GETTING TIGHTER AND TIGHTER WITH EACH MOVEMENT I MADE. I WAS THINKING THIS IS CRAZY..THIS CAN'T BE HAPPENING..IT HAS TO EVENTUALLY RELEASE THE TENSION. IT DID NOT. IT KEPT GETTING TIGHTER UNTIL I WAS PINNED INTO THE DOOR JAMB WITH IT STRANGLING ME AROUND MY NECK. MY PARTNER HELPED PULL IT DOWN OFF MY NECK WHILE I HELD THE SEATBELT FROM TIGHTENING FURTHER. HE THEN RAN INTO THE CABIN AND GRABBED A PAIR OF SCISSORS TO CUT ME OUT. I AM A 220 LB FIT SHAPE 6'-2" TALL MALE.”

Fuel/propulsion system

2 reports
“Fuel leaking under vehicle while parked . Previous recall for fuel filler tube completed. Since completion, strong gas odor was evident when tank was filled and in garage. Vehicle returned to dealer after the gas odor occurred after every tank fill. Vehicle returned to service center that did recall, as no issues existed prior to recall. I was told there was nothing wrong with the recall repair. I then went and immediately filled the tank and returned to same service area. I was told, still no problem. Vehicle taken to a different dealer after realizing gas was leaking onto the garage floor and repaired at my expense…$1,426.02. It seemed enough of an urgent safety concern to have it immediately fixed. I basically was told to live with the smell at the original dealership.”
