Folks kept bringing up the reliability issues with Range Rovers and for the first 18 months of owning my 2010 SC I proudly replied "nope! not in my experience, no problems whatsoever". My luck has run out. Today is the 2 year anniversary. My car is at the dealership service center and has been for the last 3 months. Looking at the events below, is this just a bad bump in the road or should I try to get out of it, sell the car and eat the $8 to $10k that I would be under as this is the beginning of the car becoming expensive to maintain?

12 months ago - couldn't start after engine off for 12 hours, battery replaced

6 months ago - adaptive dynamics fault light came on, resolved (extended warranty)

3 months ago - couldn't start after engine off for 1 minute, battery replaced (dealership/manufacturer warranty)

3 months ago - metal shrapnel discovered in filters, engine declared destroyed, brand new engine installed, car in shop for 2 months! (extended warranty)

3 1/2 weeks ago - cruise control not available and gearbox fault lights came on, resolved (dealership warranty)

2 weeks ago - cruise control not available and gearbox fault lights came on again, constantly got "low battery, start car soon" warning even after a minute or two of engine off, currently car is still in shop

Apart from the engine granading itself (which really shouldn't happen these days) they are relatively minor faults. In fact the second battery failure might even have been an early symptom of the slow current drain you have, this will easily kill a battery and FF's need strong batteries not to keep throwing hissy fits.

FF's are highly complex vehicles and I think if you peruse the forums of other similarly complex high end makes you'll find they all have issues of some sort or another. Drives:
2010 FFRR TdV8 Vogue - Stornoway Grey
2010 FFRR TdV8 Vogue SE - Zermatt Silver
1998 BMW E36 M3 GTII

yup, I knew this going in - I expected to pay at least $5k a year to maintain this car and subsequently have a slightly to moderate ishy experience, but $35 to $45k in work over the last couple of months makes you re-think things a little LOL.

I'm kind of hoping this is just a phase or string of bad luck. What's the chances I'll avoid major issues or expenses for the next 5 years or 30 to 50k miles?
