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.
