New LR4 owner and cam sensor fault within 2 days

[7777LR4]

How concerned should I be that after 2 days of driving my brand new LR4 the vehicle shuttered and clunked as every possible warning light came on: reduced performance, transmission failure, stability control deactivated, etc and check engine light came on. Amazingly this happened just blocks away from the dealer and I was able to limp over and drop it off on a Sunday. On Monday they looked at it and said "good news" its just the cam sensor. Should I be concerned or is this just bad luck?

Sounds like bad luck for sure - although I believe I've read a few positing where this has happened to a few other owners but with much more miles on the clock. Sorry to hear you had such a jarring experience so soon in your ownership. :-(

How long had your LR4 been at the dealer prior to your purchase? Had it been driven regularly? Reason I ask is that LR3's and LR4's can throw all sorts of faults if the battery is too low. My LR3 lit up like a christmas tree as soon as the battery went low, dealer replaced the battery and never happened again.

my lr 4 in shop for 2 weeks, went deep into the engine to perform tsb on this cam sensor issue, and the check engine light is back on today with the same code.....about 1500 miles after the repair.....
