2015 Land Rover Discovery Sport: check engine light

Filed Oct 12, 2023 · Engine · OK

I received my vehicle back from a technician at Pep Boys following a test drive aimed at further evaluating the need for an alignment while in operation. The technician subsequently advised me that my vehicle required new tires and an alignment. However, my vehicle entered a reduced-power mode after driving approximately two miles. Consequently, the vehicle was subsequently towed back to Pep Boys. Despite the efforts of multiple Pep Boys technicians, the root cause of the issue remained elusive. In recognition of their initial involvement, Pep Boys arranged for the vehicle to be transported to the nearest Land Rover service center. Approximately twenty days later, Land Rover's assessment revealed that the timing chain had fractured. Land Rover confirmed that the timing chain was the sole component that had suffered damage. In response, I elected to have my vehicle towed to a more highly-rated automotive facility accredited by the Better Business Bureau, where a thorough inspection determined that the vehicle necessitated a new engine. This assessment also raised concerns that the timing chain had prematurely failed or that Land Rover technicians may have deliberately manipulated the timing chain to inflate repair costs. It is noteworthy that no engine warning lights were illuminated throughout this ordeal, the vehicle received punctual and high-grade oil changes, and there were no discernible knocking sounds. It is imperative to underscore that the vehicle was returned to me in a running condition following the service performed by the Pep Boys technician. Given these circumstances, it is evident that the timing chain issue remains unresolved, and I believe that Land Rover should assume full responsibility for the necessary repairs.

So I was driving down after getting gas and all of a sudden the check engine light came up. I went to the nearby auto shop and they told me that it was a P0299 Turbo/Super Charger Underboost error and that this was a very common occurrence on my 2015 model.

I need assistance in getting my vehicle recalled. Back in march the engine light came on and the dealer said they reset the code and made a repair to the engine. Last month the engine light came on again and I had to have the car towed to the dealer because I could not go in reverse. The dealer is now telling me I need a new transmission which cost $11,000.00. The car is only 4 years old. Attached is the report the dealer wrote up also it looks like there was a recall on the car but my VIN is not included in the recall. My vehicle is still like a new car other than this light on. The dealer is telling me if I drive it the transmission can go up at any time. I paid $56,000.00 for this vehicle back in 2015. The dealer gave me an appraised amount of the car this week and telling me they can only offer me $17,000.00. The car has less than 65,000 miles on it. I have googled to see if there were other customers having this same problem and they are a lot of owners experiencing this same problem. The dealer is trying to get me to purchase a new car. I worked extremely hard to pay this car off. I am in no position to obtain a new monthly payment. I need my vehicle for work. My job requires me to travel and without my car I could possibly loose my job. I would like to have someone investigate this matter at your earliest. I will also be sending this compliant to congress and every television to get some assistance. I would really appreciate any assistance in this matter as soon as possible.

Engine light repeatedly comes on intermittantly despite multiple attempts to repair by dealership and address error codes over a period of over 2 years and over 20,000 miles (many occurrences between 10k and 31k miles). Dealer manager indicated he would file claim with documentation to land rover, but he has not returned calls the past 3 weeks.
