I've had the opposite experience - excellent support from my dealership, good communication, never gets adversarial.
 
I guess it just depends on your dealer?

Just like YMMV there is also the YDMV.
Not all dealers are created equal but that is why there are CSI surveys. If your dealer is treating you poorly then answer that CSI call when it comes in. Explain what is going on to Land Rover. Land Rover will warn the dealer and the dealer should call you to see what they can do to help the situation.
 
If that still doesn't satisfy you then blast them in the written survey. They Land Rovers bonus program is setup a very bad sales or service survey will get their attention better then anything else. Just make sure you fill in the comments section to explain why you gave them the scores that you did.

Sport Supercharged Rotors by lisarrsportsc

I want to know what you all think of this situation.I have the RR Sport Supercharged with 20,000 miles on it. Of course its always at the dealer for one thing or another. This last time when it was there for a Crankshaft /oil seal problem (terrible squeal), I asked them to check the brakes for the heck of it.
Sure enough they told me I needed new brake pads all around and I need to have front rotors replaced. I couldnt believe this could happen already. This is what I was trying to avoid by having them check the brakes. I thought they check them anyway when its in for service. If they were monitored dont you think I shouldve had brake pads a while ago before having rotors replaced? This just sounds funny to me. I never know if they are just taking advantage of the fact that I am a woman and I wont question their diagnosis. Thank you for your time

That's a tricky one, but is good information for the rest of us out there - I am coming up on my first scheduled maintenance, and although I don't think there are enough miles on it to see if anything funny is going on, I will ask them to check the brakes now.

I never said I was getting rid of my car. I love it besides the Pinging sounds it makes which is embarassing. When you are stopped at a signal light and your car is making pinging sounds and people next to you are staring at it because of it, that is embarasing. My 3 neighbors new BMW X5, Mercedes GL450, and Lexus RX330 doesn't seem to have this problem and they all paid less for their cars. All 16 cars I have had in the past never did this as well. I know the sound a car makes when it is cooling down, and this sound my RRS makes is over the top.
 
Also, I never even had Land Rover call me for a survey after my purchase nor did I get a survey in the mail. Was I supposed to?

This is NOT the normal sound of the exhaust heating/cooling. If this is "normal" for a 70k car than the rumors of English cars being famously unreliable (aston, land rover, jaguar, bentley) is sadly true. If this is normal, than why don't ALL the land rover vehicles do this?
 
When I'm at a stoplight people in their cars look at my RSS and their faces look like they smell something funny.
 
What do we do when this sound does not go away? Are they trying to pass off these lemons to us as "normal?"
 
BTW, sound in my RSS is getting louder and more frequent. My sales rep says that if it doesn't go away after 6k miles, they will fix or replace... somehow I smell something funny too now...

Have you driven the other Land Rovers? Mine (LR3 HSE) does the same thing.
 
I've driven every current Land Rover, excepting the (not yet released) LR2.
 
They all do the same thing.. If you have seen one that is not doing it, it has probably been broken in.
 
The only one I have driven recently that didn't do it was a traded-in 2005 LR3 SE (V8) with 12,000 miles on it that I was driving as a loaner.
 
I've also been around a lot of racing cars, and many of those do the same thing - I don't feel embarassed by it - I feel proud that my beastie makes all kinds of mancing "you have no idea how much power I can crank out" sounds of cooling down.
 
In summary: no big deal.

^^^^ Thank You.
 
Many, many, many vehicles do that. It is no big deal just relax and enjoy the vehicle. Stop being so concerned what other people think.

A version of the Range Rover diesel V8 avaliable in Europe will go in the F-150 in 2009. I am pretty sure that means Land Rovers will get that diesel engine as well.

I've owned a lot of cars and no car I've ever driven did this, but I trust you know what you're saying as it sounds like you have more experience with cars mechanically and otherwise.
 
Thx for replying D!
