As electrical harness issue as described in NHTSA Reference #10056417, the suspension fails and dash reports suspension fault, leading to a suspension that is extremely unstable and could cause vehicle to roll over even at low speeds less than 30 MPH. My safety and the safety of nearby drivers was at risk while driving in a construction area near my home. I had to make an emergency erratic stop, once the suspension started bucking wildly after hitting a minor bump on the street, almost damaging the referenced car as well as those cars around me that were skidding to a stop. Yes, the problem is well documented in the above NHTSA reference and technical bulletin (https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2014/SB-10056417-1282.pdf) has been published that does not solve the safety issue once the damage has occurred. Not only has it been confirmed by multiple sources, but the manufacturer has published the technical bulletin with recommendations that don't solve the issue; rather, they put a band aid on it, that only helps if you find the issue prior to it occurring. Vehicle state has been well documented by dealer recommended land rover service center. Warning lamps, messages, appeared on dash immediately prior to the unresponsive suspension issue. All previous service and recalls were performed by dealership; however, no recommendation for performing the technical bulletin above was every mentioned which could have feasibly avoided the potentially life threating issue.

MY FRONT DIFFERENTIAL WAS REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY AT APPROXIMATELY 35K. THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL IS NOW FAILING AT APPROXIMATELY 42K AND THE DEALER WON'T WARRANTY IT SINCE IT WAS REPORTED 3 MONTHS AFTER THE WARRANTY EXPIRED. THE AIR SUSPENSION IS ALSO FAILING AND WILL NEED REPAIR. *KB
