POWER STEERING PUMP FAILED A FEW MONTH AGO AND THE WARRANTY COMPANY REPLACED IT IN MAY 07 W/A GENERIC PUMP. 2 WEEKS LATER IT FAILED AGAIN, BUT THIS TIME RUINED THE RESERVOIR AND RADIATOR, SO THOSE ITEMS HAD TO BE REPLACED AS WELL.

I HAD THE CAR ONE DAY AND IT WAS RETURNED TO LR B/C IT WAS MAKING A HORRIBLE NOISE. LR REPLACED THE RACK AND PINION STEERING.

2006 RANGE ROVER SPORT SUSPENSION FAILURE: : SUSPENSION FAULT LIGHT DISPLAYS AFTER SUSPENSION RAISE 6 INCHES WHEN DRIVING AT 70 MPH. *TR

WHILE DRIVING ON I-69N AT 70 MPH, THE TOP HALF OF OUR LANDROVER CAR TOP CARRIER (TOP BOX S CLASS TOUR MONACAR) CAME OFF AND FELL INTO THE ONCOMING TRAFFIC ALONG WITH MOST OF ITEMS PACKED IN THE CARRIER, INCLUDING GOLF CLUBS, TENNIS RACKETS, FISHING POLES, A DUFFEL BAG PACKED WITH CLOTHING AND MISCELLANEOUS ITEMS. WHEN WE RETRIEVED THE TOP HALF OF THE CAR TOP CARRIER, IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE TOP PORTION OF THE CARRIER HAD SHEARED OFF BELOW THE LOCKING MECHANISM, DESPITE THE FACT THAT THE LATCH WAS SECURED TIGHTLY AND THAT THE LOCK HAD BEEN ACTIVATED. DESPITE HEAVY TRAFFIC VOLUME DUE TO IT BEING A HOLIDAY WEEKEND, THERE WERE NO INJURIES OR ACCIDENTS. THERE WAS SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE TO THE ITEMS IN THE CAR, OUR CAR AND, OF COURSE, THE CARRIER.

BURNING SMELLS, DASHBOARD LIGHTS ON AND OFF, REAR WINDOW WON'T GO DOWN, STALLS AT STOP LIGHTS, FAN BLOWER WON'T WORK ON SPEEDS 1-3, TOTAL ELECTRICAL MESS.*AK

WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAYS AND INCLINES I NOTICED MY TRUCK ENGINE SLIPPING AND LOSING SPEED...WHEN THE DECENT INDICATOR LIGHT CAME ON, I LOOKED INTO THE MANUAL ONLY TO FIND THAT THE MANUAL SHOWS THAT PARTICULAR CONTROL - BUT STATES NOTHING ABOUT THE TRANSMISSION- IT SAYS MY PROBLEM IS THE BRAKES. I TOOK MY TRUCK TO THE BRAKE SHOP AND YES MY BRAKES WERE IN NEED OF ITS SET OF 2ND ROTORS. SO I HAD THAT FIXED. ON MY WAY TO WORK A FEW NIGHTS AFTERWARDS, I WAS DRIVING UP A HILL WHEN MY TRUCK DIED. TRANSMISSION DEAD. MY 2002 LAND ROVER FREELANDER'S HAS ONLY 69,000 MILES ON IT. IT IS IN NEED OF ROTORS, A BACK WINDOW REGULATOR AND A TRANSMISSION. I HAVE ALREADY HAD OVERHEATING PROBLEMS OVER AND OVER AGAIN. THIS TRUCK HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP MORE THAN I HAVE DRIVEN IT. HEADLIGHT ISSUES, BRAKES, WATER PUMP, TEMP GAUGE, ENGINE PROBLEMS, RADIATOR AND A FEW RECALLS. : (. *NM

WHILE DRIVING ON A BUSY INTERSTATE HIGHWAY, THE VEHICLE COMPLETELY LOST ALL PROPULSION. AFTER NAVIGATING ACROSS MULTIPLE LANES OF MODERATELY HEAVY TRAFFIC WITH NO POWER, I CAME TO A STOP ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND CALLED FOR ASSISTANCE. ONCE THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE CLOSEST LAND ROVER DEALER AND THE PROBLEM DIAGNOSED, IT WAS EXPLAINED TO ME THAT THE FRONT DIFFERENTIAL HAD FAILED. I'VE SINCE RESEARCHED THIS ISSUE AND FOUND THAT MANY OTHER OWNERS HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS PROBLEM AND LAND ROVER HAS EVEN ISSUED TECHNICAL BULLETINS REGARDING THIS REPEATED FAILURE. DESPITE THAT, I HAD NEVER BEEN MADE AWARE OF THIS ISSUE BY THE MANUFACTURER DESPITE THAT FACT THAT IT HAS BEEN IN THEIR SERVICE DEPARTMENT AT EVERY SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE INTERVAL AND ON MANY OTHER OCCASIONS FOR OTHER WORK. IN FACT, IT WAS IN THEIR SHOP APPROXIMATELY 2,000 MILES PRIOR TO THIS FAILURE FOR A NUMBER OF OTHER WARRANTY RELATED ITEMS AND THIS FAILING MECHANISM WAS NOT DETECTED/FIXED DESPITE THE FACT THAT IT WAS LIKELY CLOSE TO FAILURE AT THAT POINT AND DETECTION OF THE PROBLEM IS POSSIBLE VIA NOTHING MORE THAN A GLANCE AT THE POINT WHERE THE SHAFT AND DIFFERENTIAL HOUSING MEET. I'M HAPPY NO ONE WAS INJURED BUT VERY DISAPPOINTED THIS FAILURE OCCURRED, ESPECIALLY CONSIDERING THAT IT OCCURRED 1,000 MILES AFTER THE OEM WARRANTY ON THE VEHICLE EXPIRED WHICH NOW MAKES THIS A FINANCIAL CONCERN FOR ME AS WELL. *NM

CONSUMER STATES THAT THE ENGINE IS WARPED. PLEASE PROVIDE ADDITIONAL INFORMATION. *MR

THE ENGINE BLOCK IS WARPED. MR

WHILE TRAVELING AT ANY SPEED VEHICLE WOULD VIBRATE AND BUMP UP AND DOWN INTERMITTENTLY. ALSO, BRAKES WOULD MAKE A SQUEAKING AND GRINDING NOISE. DEALERSHIP WAS AWARE OF PROBLEM. *AK
