• HUMMING NOISE WHEN THE CAR ACCELERATES. ALSO STALLS FOR A SECOND INTERMITTENTLY WHEN ACCELERATING. I HAVE HAD THE CAR IN SERVICE FOR THIS ISSUE SEVERAL TIMES. EVERY TIME THEY TELL ME IT'S DUE TO NEEDING AN UPDATE. THE ISSUE STARTED APPROX 8 WEEKS AFTER I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE.
• The engine's cooling pipes melt leading to the cooling system failing. This then overheats the engine which leads to dangerous driving conditions. This has been a known issue in other Range Rover VINs and also affects this one.
