My car was showing low coolant light for years. And everytime I took it in they said they will top up. Then the light will come back again. They mentioned something about changing the sensor. The car was not even 3 years old and I bought if brand new. The low coolant continued to show and no effort was made to further investigate the matter. All they did was top up. November last year the light came back and I took the car in for service because it was due. Paid for diagnostic bcos it now out of warranty. It was there for a while due to the door latch that was yo be replaced. When a collected the car after 3 weeks it was jerking all the way and has hizzing sound. I parked it when I got home because it was a Saturday. Monday I called them and the said it must be towed. I did so then after 2 months I received a report to say the piston failed dye to pre ignition. I'm way view the piston failed because of low coolant that was not attended for 2 years or so. Your engine could overheat.
Continued use of a car with low coolant can lead to permanent damage, of pistons and cylinders. I battled to get a lone car with them for months now. The cost of the repairs is R177k which I feel it because of their negligence. Now they coesing me to give the directive to continue to fix the car or else they will charge me storage. They worked on the engine when the car was 3 months old because it was jerking and they disregarding that now that it us out if warranty they want me to pay for the repairs. Landrover Boksburg isxa disgrace. To top it all head office assigned a case manager who knows nothing about cars. She was unable to explain to me what the problem is and because "she us not a technical person. Why then is she managing the case. My car us stripped and I am now charged R150 per day for storage
