THIS IS THE SECOND TIME I COULD NOT STOP THE VEHICLE FROM ANTILOCK FAILURE.

(1)INITIAL NEW POWER STEERING RACK/BOX LEAKED AND REPLACED WITH REFURBISHED STEERING BOX ON 12/15/2008, AUTO MILEAGE AT 26,916. THE NEW STEERING BOX WHICH CAME WITH THE NEW VEHICLE SHOULD NOT HAVE FAILED SO SOON AS WELL AS AT SUCH A LOW MILEAGE.

I HAD THE TAILGATE OF MY LAND ROVER DISCOVERY OPEN AS I PUT IN MY CAR SEATS. THE TAILGATE WAS OPEN ALL OF THE WAY AND IN THE LOCKED POSITION. MY DAUGHTER STOOD AT THE TAILGATE LOOKING INTO THE REAR OF THE CAR. A COMBINATION OF ME MOVING IN THE CAR AND THE WIND, THE DOOR BEGAN TO CLOSE. THE DOOR IS VERY HEAVY AND THE MOMENTUM EVEN MADE IT HEAVIER AS THE CAR WAS ON A SLIGHT DECLINE. THE DOOR DID NOT STAY IN THE LOCKED POSITION AND BEGAN TO SWIFTLY CLOSE. MY DAUGHTER'S HEAD IS RIGHT ABOVE THE CLOSING OF THE DOOR. IF THE DOOR WOULD HAVE SLAMMED, SHE WOULD HAVE HAD MASSIVE HEAD INJURY AND OR POSSIBLE WORSE, DECAPITATED. IT HAS DONE THIS MANY TIMES. THE DOOR DOESN'T STAY OPEN. I HAVE BEEN HIT MYSELF AND IT HAS LEFT HUGE MARKS ON MY BODY. THE DEALER SAID IT WAS MEANT TO BE THIS WAY. I DISAGREE, ESPECIALLY AFTER TONIGHT'S INCIDENT WHICH COULD HAVE BEEN FATAL. *JB

FAILURE OF ABS SYSTEM WHILE DRIVING. 3-4 TIMES PER WEEK WHILE CITY DRIVING THE ABS/HILL DESCENT/TRACTION CONTROL WARNING LIGHTS AND CHIMES COME ON. THE SYSTEM TYPICALLY RESETS AFTER STOPPING AND RE-STARTING THE VEHICLE (SOMETIMES REQUIRES NEUTRAL START TO RESET). THIS IS SIMILAR TO A FAILURE I HAD IN A 1999 MODEL THAT REQUIRED OVER $3,000 IN REPAIRS TO REPLACE A FAILED ABS PUMP. LAND ROVER INSISTS THAT THERE IS NO FAULT CODE LEFT ON THE OBC AFTER THESE EVENTS, BUT ALL INDICATIONS POINT TO A SYSTEMIC AND ON-GOING PROBLEM WITH THE SERIES OF ABS PUMPS USED OVER THE YEARS. THIS SEEMS TO BE AN IMPORTANT SAFETY SYSTEM IN THE VEHICLE, BUT LR SEEMS TO HAVE NO INTEREST IN ADDRESSING IT. *TR

JUST GOT OFF MAJOR HIGHWAY AND CAR STARTED TO VIBRATE UNCONTROLLABLY AND MAKE A KNOCKING SOUND AND JUST STOPPED IF A LOUD NOSE THAT SOUNDED LIKE THE ENGINE FELL OUT. CARS BEHIND ME SWERVED TO AVOID HITTING ME AND TWO PEOPLE STOPPED TO PUSHED MY CAR OUT OF HARMS WAY. I HAD TO HAVE MY CAR TOWED AND THE NEXT DAY MY MECHANIC TOLD ME THE DRIVE SHAFT FELL OUT. THIS JUST HAPPENED THIS ON 12/2/08 AND I HAVE NOT HAD IT REPAIRED AS OF YET DUE TO THE COSTLY EXPENSE. *TR

MY NAME IS [XXX] AND I AM WRITING TO YOU IN REGARDS TO THE SERVICE OF A VEHICLE DONE RECENTLY AT THE LAND ROVER IN ENCINO, CA. ON APPROXIMATELY MAY 17, 2004 MY VEHICLE WAS DROPPED OFF IN ORDER FOR THE TRANSMISSION BOX TO BE REPLACED. NEARLY A WEEK LATER I WAS TOLD THAT THE NEEDED PART WAS BACK ORDERED AND WAS TOLD THAT THE VEHICLE HAD TO BE PICKED UP IMMEDIATELY. I THEN EXPRESSED MY CONCERN TO A SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE BY THE NAME OF [XXX], THAT DUE TO THE VEHICLE LUNGING FORWARD AT TIMES AND THE POSSIBILITY OF GETTING INTO A COLLISION, THAT I PREFERRED THAT THE VEHICLE BE LEFT THERE UNTIL THE SERVICE WAS COMPLETELY. I WAS TOLD HOWEVER THAT DESPITE SUCH OCCURRENCES, THE VEHICLE COLD NOT BE LEFT THERE AND HAD TO PICKED UP. ON APPROXIMATELY JUNE 10, 2004, AFTER BEING NOTIFIED THAT THE REQUIRED PART HAD COME IN, I DROPPED OF THE VEHICLE IN ORDER FOR THE PART TO BE REPLACED. THE ODOMETER READING WAS NOTED AND THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN IN. HOWEVER ON JUNE 14, 2004 THE ODOMETER SHOWED AN EXCEEDED MILEAGE OF NEARLY SIXTY MILES OVER THE DOCUMENTED INVOICE. I NOTIFIED THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT VIA TELEPHONE WHO ONLY STATED THAT THE ODOMETER MUST HAVE BEEN INCORRECTLY DOCUMENTED AND THAT THE TECHNICIAN WHO HAD PERFORMED THE SERVICE, ONLY HAD DRIVEN THE VEHICLE NO MORE THAN SIX MILES. WITHIN ONE HOUR LATER, MY BROTHER WENT TO THE SERVICING DEPARTMENT AND SPOKE WITH [XXX] WHO STATED THAT SHE AS WELL AS OTHER INDIVIDUALS WERE THE ONES WHO DROVE THE VEHICLE FOR THAT EXCEEDED MILEAGE.*AK INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

MY BRAND NEW 2004 LAND ROVER DISCOVERY SE7 HAS LESS THAN A THOUSAND MILES BUT HAS ALREADY PAID 3 VISITS TO THE DEALER'S SERVICE DEPARTMENT FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. THE PROBLEM IS THAT 4 WARNING LIGHTS KEEP TURNING ON AND STAYING ON WHEN THE CAR IS IN OPERATION. THESE 4 WARNING LIGHTS ARE: BRAKES, ABS, TC, AND HDC. I BOUGHT THIS CAR FROM PRESTIGE AUTO GROUP AT PARAMUS, NJ.
