2013 Land Rover LR2

PASSENGER-SIDE AIRBAG IS DISABLED DUE TO BAD SEAT OCCUPANCY SENSOR, LOCAL DEALER DIAGNOSTIC AS SRS SENSOR ISSUE. LAND ROVER ALREADY STARTED A RECALL CAMPAIGN FOR SAME MODEL YEAR, SAME MODEL FOR THIS. HOWEVER, IT EXCLUDES ALL LR2 EXPORTED FROM ENGLAND. THE CURRENT VEHICLE HAS THE EXACT SAME ISSUE AS RECALL "P046 NAS5 - SAFETY RECALL: SUPPLEMENTARY RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS) WARNING LAMP ILLUMINATED" HOWEVER IT IS NOT RECALLED TO FIX ISSUE THAT WILL CAUSE SERVE ISSUE FOR PASSENGER SAFETY.

TAKATA RECALL UPON TURNING MY CAR ON THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT AIRBAG WARNING INDICATOR LIGHT HAS APPEARED. I'M AWARE THAT WHEN THE DRIVER AND/OR PASSENGER SITS IN THE FRONT SEATS OF THE VEHICLE A SEAT BELT REMINDER SENSOR APPEARS. THIS SENSOR TRIGGERS A WARNING LIGHT AND AN AUDIBLE CHIME TO REMIND THE DRIVER AND/OR PASSENGER TO FASTEN THEIR SEAT BELT. HOWEVER, MY CAR ONLY REMINDS/CHIMES FOR THE DRIVER SEAT. THE SENSOR DOES NOT TRIGGER WHEN THERE IS AN OCCUPANT IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. I'M AWARE THAT OTHER LAND ROVER MAKES/MODELS HAVE HAD RECALLS DUE TO AIR BAG ISSUES. I'M CONCERNED THAT THE MAKE/MODEL OF MY CAR HAS THE SAME PROBLEM. IT'S NOW 5 YEARS SINCE I'VE PURCHASED MY VEHICLE (NEW) AND WITHIN THAT TIME THE BATTERY HAD TO BE REPLACED WITHIN 3 YEARS THEN BOTH RIGHT AND LEFT CALIPERS HAD TO BE REPLACED WITHIN 4 YEARS (PROBLEMS THAT I THOUGHT COULD/WOULD OCCUR AT LEAST AFTER 50,000 MILES). CURRENTLY, MY CAR HAS 42,634 MILES ON IT (ROUGHLY 8,500 MILES A YEAR DRIVING TO AND FROM WORK). MY CAR HISTORY WILL SHOW THAT I HAVE NOT BEEN IN ANY SEVERE ACCIDENTS OR IN ANY INCIDENT THAT WOULD RESULT IN THE AIRBAG WARNING INDICATOR LIGHT APPEARING. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF THIS ISSUE IS IN FACT A RECALL OR WAS I JUST DEALT A LEMON?

THE AIRBAG SENSOR IN THE PASENGER SEAT IS BAD. THE DEALER SAYS THAT IT IS MY RESPONSIBILITY TO FIX. THE PART TO ME IS DEFECTIVE. USAGE OF THIS SEAT IS EXTREMELY LIMITED. THIS RESULTS IN THE AIRBAG NOT WORKING IN CASE OF AN ACCIDENT. I WAS LOOKING ON THIS WEBSITE AND THERE IS A SIMILIAR ISSUE TO MINE LISTED - 2013 LANDROVER LR2 - WHEN QUESTIONED ABOUT IT THEY STATED THAT MY VIN # IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL.

VACUUM PUMP FAILED CAUSING NO BOOST FROM THE BRAKE BOOSTER, COMPLETE LOSS OF VACUUM ASSISTANCE IN THE BRAKING SYSTEM. THIS CONDITION RESULTED IN HARD FEEL TO THE BRAKE PEDAL. VEHICLE BRAKING WAS VERY DIFFICULT, VEHICLE RAN THROUGH A RED LIGHT BEFORE COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP ON A CITY STREET. (SIMILAR LAND ROVER RECALL #P052) NO COMMUNICATION AVAILABLE WITH OCCUPANCY SENSOR CONTROL MODULE, AIR BAG LIGHT STUCK ON AND APPARENTLY MAY OR MAY NOT BE WORKING. MY DEALER IS TRYING TO MAKE ME PAY FOR THIS REPAIR. (SIMILAR LAND ROVER RECALL #P052)

WHILE DRIVING VEHICLE ENGINE LIGHT, STABILITY CONTROL, AND AIRBAG LIGHTS CAME ON CAUSING VEHICLE TO GO INTO "LIMP MODE" WITH DECREASED POWER OF ENGINE. DUE TO THE UNEXPECTED NATURE OF THE EVENT, COULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT WITH NO CAPABILITY OF SAFETY EQUIPMENT TO DEPLOY (I.E AIRBAGS). THIS HAPPENED A FEW MORE TIMES UNTIL VEHICLE IN FOR REPAIR. ON FIRST EVENT, REPAIR SHOP STATED OKAY TO DRIVE AS LONG AS ENGINE LIGHT WAS AMBER AND NOT FLASHING. VEHICLE REMAINS AT REPAIR SHOP >30 DAYS WITH NO FIX FOUND AS OF THIS TIME. *TR
