I NOTICED A TICKING SOUND COMING FROM MY ENGINE COMPARTMENT. AFTER HAVING IT DIAGNOSED AT THE RANGE ROVER DEALERSHIP I WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS THE TENSIONER GUIDES AND THAT I WOULD NEED A NEW ENGINE.
I HAVE TO REPLACE MY FUEL PUMP TWO TIMES IT COST ME OVER $2,000 AND NOW MY STEERING COLUMN ISN'T WORKING MY KEY WON'T TURN I TESTED IT BY TAKING THE FUSE OUT AND DISCONNECTING THE BATTERY STILL NOTHING WENT TO A CURRENT RANGE ROVER SPOT AND THEY SAID THAT'S COMMON IN THOSE VEHICLES WITH THE STEERING COLUMN GOING OUT WHICH MAKES THE KEY NOT TURN I HOPE THAT YOU GUYS CAN REALLY RESOLVE THIS SITUATION BECAUSE FOR THIS TO BE AN OLD VEHICLE I'M SPENDING A LOT OF MONEY OUT OF MY POCKET THANK YOU
MY ALTERNATOR STARTED GOING OUT AND AS MY CAR WAS DYING OUT IT STARTED SPEEDING UP I WAS TRYING TO PUSH ON THE BREAK AND I GOT TO TRY TO PUSH ON THE BRAKE IT WOULD ONLY FORCE THE CAR TO GO FORWARD SO I WAS JUST RELEASE MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKE AND JUST LET THE CARGO AND THE CAR HAD WENT AROUND IN CIRCLES UNTIL IT DIED OUT THEN I TRIED TO GET A JUMP FROM A BUS DRIVER
I WAS DRIVING 75 MPH ON HIGHWAY ON JUNE 1ST, 2016 WHEN A LOUD GRINDING NOICE OCCURRED IN THE FRONT END FOLLOWED BY LOSS OF DRIVE TRAIN. CAR ALMOST LOST CONTROL BUT WAS ABLE TO COAST TO SIDE OF ROAD. THE CAR WOULD STILL ROLL WHILE IN PARK AND FINALLY HAD TO PUT EMERGENCY BRAKE TO STOP IT. A PUT IN NEUTRAL WARNING CAME ON IN DASH AND I SHUT THE MOTOR OFF AND LEFT ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THIS WAS A SCARY AND DANGEROUS EXPERIENCE AND I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHAT MY OPTIONS ARE AND IF THIS IS A RECALL WHAT CAN I DO AFTER IT HAS FAILED.
DRIVING 75MPH ON INTERSTATE, WHILE PASSING SEMI TRAILER, SUDDENLY A LOUD THUMP AND LOSS OF DRIVE TO WHEELS, LOST OF POWER AND SUDDEN LOST UP HILL I LOST CONTROL OF VEHICLE. SEMI AVOIDED ME, AND I WAS BARELY ABLE TO CONTROL BODY ROLL BUT SAFELY BROUGHT VEHICLE TO STOP OF THE SIDE OF ROAD. TOWED TO MY MECHANIC, HE REPORTED THAT DIFFERENTIAL ALONG WITH PROP SHAFT HAD FAILED. HE BELIEVED THIS WAS A RECALL ISSUE. DEALER IN SANTA FE, NM SAYS NO ACTIVE RECALL. I HAVE READ OTHERWISE AND THAT THE ISSUE CAN OCCUR EVEN AFTER INITIAL RECALL WORK DONE.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 LAND ROVER RANGE ROVER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL FRACTURED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE STEERING WHEEL NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 11,000.
THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER ON MY CAR HAS A KNOWN DEFECT WHICH WAS COVERED UNDER LAND ROVER EXTENDED WARRANT PROGRAM Q058. ON MY SPECIFIC CAR, THE WARRANTY PERIOD EXPIRED ON MAY 11, 2015. AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC DIAGNOSED A BAD CATALYTIC CONVERTER ON MY CAR IN FEB 04, 2014 AND TOLD ME ABOUT THE EXTENDED WARRANT PROGRAM COVERING THIS KNOWN ISSUE. I MADE SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT WITH LAND ROVER MANHATTAN DEALERSHIP BUT WASN'T SUCCESSFUL IN GETTING AN APPOINTMENT UNTIL AFTER THE WARRANTY EXPIRED. LAND ROVER IS REFUSING TO COVER THE REPAIR AND I HAVE BEEN TOSSED BACK AND FORTH BETWEEN THE LAND ROVER DEALER AND CORPORATE OFFICE. I THINK LAND ROVER WAITED UNTIL AFTER THE WARRANTY EXPIRED SO THEY CAN AVOID PAYING FOR THE REPAIR.
GRAND-DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING MY RANGE ROVER. WHILE DRIVING THE STEERING WHEEL DROPPED DOWN INTO HER LAP. WAS ABLE TO BRAKE AND SLOWLY TURN WHEEL TO PULL OFF ROAD. STEERING COLUMN WOULD TELESCOPE BUT NOT RAISE/LOWER. TURNED VEHICLE OFF, RESTARTED, KEPT TRYING ADJUSTMENT LEVER UNTIL FINALLY COLUMN RETRACTED THEN RAISED TO NORMAL POSITION.
I WAS APPROACHING A STOP LIGHT LESS THAN 2 MILES INTO A TRIP. AT REGULAR SPEED I HEAVILY APPLIED BRAKES AND THE PEDAL WENT SOFT. I FLOORED THE PEDAL IN ATTEMPT TO STOP; THANKFULLY NO ONE HAD BEGUN TO MOVE AS I CARRIED INTO THE INTERSECTION BEFORE STOPPING. I PULLED OVER, READ THE MANUAL TO ENSURE I KNEW WHERE TO LOOK FOR BRAKE FLUID PRESSURE SENSORS. I ALSO CHECKED FOR LEAKS BUT DID NOT NOTICE ANYTHING; BRAKES OPERATION WAS NOTICEABLY DIFFERENT BUT OK SO I CAUTIOUSLY CONTINUED DRIVING (NO WARNING LIGHTS NO SENSORS HAD GONE OFF). APPROXIMATELY 35 MILES LATER AND AT HIGHWAY SPEED SENSORS AND LIGHTS WENT CRAZY TELLING ME I HAD NO BRAKE PRESSURE. WITH BRAKE OPERATION AS HARD AS A ROCK I PULLED OFF THE ROAD AND NOTICED DRIVER SIDE AND UNDERCARRIAGE SOAKED IN BRAKE FLUID. IN FEAR OF POTENTIAL FIRE I TURNED OFF THE ENGINE AND REMAINED OUTSIDE VEHICLE. TOWED TO LAND ROVER DEALER; REPLACE BURST DRIVER SIDE BRAKE LINE TO REAR (ALSO REPLACED BULDGED PASSENGER SIDE LINE). LAND ROVER OF HUNTINGTON, NY. GIVEN RECENT RECALL ON 2006 AND NEWER RANGE ROVER MODELS I FELT IT VERY RELEVANT TO SHARE THIS INFORMATION AS I EXPECT THE ISSUE IS RELEVANT FOR OLDER MODELS AS WELL. *TR
STEERING COLUMN FAILURE, THE WHEEL DROPPED ONTO MY LAP AS I WAS DRIVING. ALMOST LOST CONTROL. VERY SCARY, I HAD TO HOLD WHEEL UP WHICH HAS FULL RANGE OF UN/DOWN MOTION, WHILE TRYING TO GET TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THERE WAS A FAILURE OF THE STEERING WHEEL TILT MECHANISM. I DISCONNECTED THE WHEEL TILT DRIVE MOTOR AND RIGGED THE WHEEL SO IT COULD BE DRIVEN HOME. *TR
GRINDING NOISE FROM DIFFERENTIAL. *TR
