I am the owner of a 2005 range rover. i purchased the vehicle used in 2006 with 60,000 mile's on it. in june 2007, the front differential broke while in the middle of two busy intersections. traffic was halted until some men pushed my car to the side of the road. there was no warning leading up to this breakdown. in fact, the car was just at the dealership for the 75,000 mile checkup. not to mention range rover charged me $3,000.00 for this repair.. the most recent front differential breakdown was more serious since it occurred on the expressway in the middle of nowhere. while traveling to birmingham al. from atlanta ga. at a speed of 70 miles per/hr the car made a sudden grinding noise and stop accelerating. once i realized wgat was going on i started getting to the side of the road. it was scary because part of the truck was still in the freeway lane and trucks and cars were avoiding hitting us. my teenage son had to push the car off the freeway. after this being the second time in peril i am now afraid to drive this vehicle that i owe a considerable amount of money on. this last incident occurred on march 07, 2008. the part was still under warranty since it had only been 9 months and less than 8,000 miles since the last front differential was replaced. oh by the way , the car is still at the dealership in birmingham al. they didn't have the parts and the parts haven't arrived yet. i hope something can be done to help me, and others in my position. *tr
The failure which occurred twice was that my front differential and front drive shaft failed (first time 48,000 miles and second 68,000 miles). what was done to correct the failure was apparently all parts were changed. car does not move. old parts are available. dealer wants to charge twice as much as a private mechanic wants to charge. vehicle is not outside the warranty and dealer will not replace parts for free. dealer does not acknowledge high rate of front differential failure. *tr
I own a range rover, county model vin: [xxx], purchased in 1992. i have replaced 2 fuel tanks due to what 2 different mechanics have told me is leaking fuel due to faulty seams on the plastic fuel tanks. i have been unable to locate a new fuel tank because i am told by land rover that the tank is no longer in production because rover is unable to secure a fuel tank manufacturer. after market companies have told me the same. i have contacted land rover and they have told me that no recall has happened at this point in time. i am able to smell fuel around my vehicle especially after filling the tank. it would make sense to believe that fuel tanks should last the life of the vehicle without ever leaking, especially 2 fuel tanks. the replacement fuel tanks should also be available for purchase even if there is not a recall. i am concerned that this presents a fire hazard and the vehicle should be recalled. i believe that this matter needs the immediate attention of the nhtsa. i am told by rover mechanics that other owners are experiencing the same problem, and that rover's discontinuance of production is the result of the "problems they are having with tank failure". what are we to do? they won't recall a known problem and every day we drive our family around with a strong odor of gas fumes coming from the rear of the vehicle. this is an extremely costly repair involving what could be a life threatening problem. please reply.*ak updated 07/24/2012 *js information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6)
