| 2008 land rover lr2 has a problem with overheating and non acceleration. *nj the consumer stated the vehicle began knocking slightly after starting it. after driving a few feet, it would not accelerate. the reduced engine performance light illuminated. the vehicle was taken to the dealer and a day later, the dealer informed the consumer that the fuel line was faulty. four days later, the vehicle stopped accelerating and it felt as though the vehicle was in neutral. the consumer looked down and the dynamic stability control light had illuminated. when the third incident occurred, the consumer pulled over, but the vehicle would not shut off. the reduced engine light illuminated again and then the battery light illuminated. the steering wheel then locked. *jb | |||

| First brand new landrover lr2 had failed to operate while driving twice. brought into dealership--told me transmission failed and gave me another new lr2. this second lr2 has overheated twice (again, while driving). the most recent event occurred while driving in the city and suddenly started to overheat while driving. i immediately dropped it off at the dealership which was nearby and smoke was coming out of the hood. it has been in the shop for going on to four weeks now. *tr | |||

| This vehicle has less than 5000 miles and has been back to the local land rover dealer now 3 times for what can best be described as a complete lack of engine power, almost as if it is being starved of fuel, always more than 1/4 tank when this has occurred. the first two trips to the dealer for this problem were for a software update which appeared to correct the problem, until it resurfaces a few weeks or a month later. on the most resent trip to the dealer we were informed that there was some problem with the receiver in the dashboard for the electronic key and that this was now the source of the problem. *tr | |||
