I regret bringing my vehicle to Jaguar Land Rover Chicago - cmastio1
I regret bringing my vehicle to Jaguar Land Rover Chicago (Howard Orloff). After a CVVL part was replaced under warranty, my engine ultimately failed due to a cracked intake valve in the same cylinder that had a documented misfire at the time of service. Yet that misfire code mysteriously disappeared from my final invoice and was replaced by a different one that was never referenced anywhere else.
At this time, the dealership has refused to answer questions about this inconsistency or provide documentation required by Land Rover’s own service protocols. Critically, that protocol (TSB SSM75724) requires an engine oil sample to be taken to screen for underlying damage — a step that was never completed. This omission eliminated the opportunity to catch early signs of engine distress, which could have prevented a catastrophic failure. I now have an engine that has failed, on the very same cylinder whose diagnostic code was omitted from my final service invoice.
At this point, I have written confirmation from the service manager that they will not respond further. It’s extremely troubling to see a luxury dealership dismiss this level of concern — especially when proper procedures likely would have prevented the damage.
I encourage anyone considering service here to proceed with caution and get everything in writing.
