Land Rover ranked as least reliable auto manufacturer. - 10/8/2008 8:00:03 PM    peter400   Posts: 1 Joined: 5/16/2008 Status: offline As the owner of a 2002 Freelander which I traded in for a 2003 Discovery I can tell everyone to take seriously the ratings given by both JD Power & Associates and Consumer Reports magazine (among others).  In 2008 JD Power & Associates reviewed 38 auto manufacturers and Land Rover placed right at the bottom for the reliability of all their vehicles.  In 2008 Consumer Reports magazine ranks Land Rover vehicles as "much worse than average" for reliability but also displays in graph form how much worse than average Land Rover vehicles actually are.  When compared among 48 other midsize SUV''s, the Range Rover, LR3 and Range Rover Sport all ranked between -129% to -195% in reliability (a score of zero is perfectly average reliability, with 22 other mid size SUV''s scoring above average).  Again Land Rover is dead last for reliability.  For the premium price paid for these vehicles you can expect Land Rover to only issue recalls when forced to do so by the government and you will spend lots of time, hassle and money on frequent repairs.  Be warned! Look very carefully at the data out there in the press, Land Rovers are expensive pieces of junk.   Post #: 1

The problem is that a lot of people buy a Rover without knowing how to take care of it. Myself included. Although I didn''t actually buy my Disco. My father bought it for himself, didn''t know anything about it, and let it sit for 3 years. When I got my license 2 years ago he gave it to me. And there was plenty wrong with it because he didn''t know how to properly maintain it, which is what a lot of people do. Now that I know what to do with my truck it''s actually extremely reliable. More so than even some of my friends'' cars which are all brand new Mitsubishi''s, and Dodge''s. Just my 2 cents. _____________________________ Mitch ''''''''96 Disco SE7 (in reply to Disco C) Post #: 4
