2008 Land Rover Range Rover

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 LAND ROVER RANGE ROVER. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 15 MPH, THE DRIVER SIDE SUSPENSION SUDDENLY LOWERED AND THE "FAULTY SUSPENSION" SENSOR LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE PASSENGER SIDE SUSPENSION ALSO SUDDENLY LOWERED. WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE WITH THE LOWERED SUSPENSION, THE VEHICLE WOULD BOUNCE UP AND DOWN AND WAS VERY UNSTABLE. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 65,000.

THE FRONT RIGHT BRAKE LINE SPLIT AND ALL THE BREAK FLUID DRAINED OUT CAUSING THE BRAKES TO FAIL. THE CAR WAS TOWED TO A LAND ROVER DEALER. IN SPEAKING WITH THE DEALER, THERE IS NO SERVICE DIRECTIVE BY LR TO REPLACE THE BRAKELINES AT SOME POINT. I SPOKE TO LR TODAY AND THEY TOLD ME THAT AFTER WARRANTY ITS THE OWNERS PROBLEM TO MONITOR THE CAR. THE DEALER ALSO NOTED THAT ANOTHER LR MODEL, THE SPORT, THERE IS A MAINTENANCE DIRECTIVE TO REPLACE THE BRAKE HOSES AT 75,000 MILES. OBVIOUSLY, THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS ISSUE. SOMEONE COULD HAVE BEEN INJURED OR KILLED. THIS CAR HAS BEEN UNDER DEALER CARE SINCE IT WAS PURCHASED. BRAKE LINES SHOULD NOT FAIL THESE DAYS. *TR

I FINALLY ASKED THE MECHANIC TO CHECK ALL THE TIRES TO MAKE SURE I DIDN'T HAVE A PROBLEM AND HE STATED THAT I HAD A FEW PROBLEMS; THE FIRST BEING THAT THE CAR HAD NOT BEEN ALIGNED IN A WHILE AND SO THE TIRES ON THE INSIDE WERE COMPLETELY WORN OUT TO THE METAL AND I WAS LOOKING AT A VERY SERIOUS AND DANGEROUS TIRE BLOW OUT ON THE ROAD; HE ASKED ME HOW LONG I HAD THE CAR AND I SAID 2 MONTHS AND I PUT 2000 MILES ON THE CAR BUT HE STATED THAT THE DAMAGE ON ALL OF THE TIRES COULD NOT HAVE BEEN DONE IN 2000MILES AND THE CAR WAS SOLD LIKE THAT. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP ON 5/17/12 AS SOON AS I LEFT THE TIRE PLACE AND LEFT A VM ASKING A MANAGER TO CALL ME BACK, I SENT A FAX ON 5/19/12 STATING MY ISSUE AND I CALLED AGAIN ON 5/20 AND LEFT VOICEMAIL. DUE TO THE SEVERITY OF THE DANGEROUSNESS OF THE TIRES, I HAD THEM ALL REPLACED ON 5/21/12. I AM STILL WAITING FOR THE MANAGER OR THE OWNER OF THE DEALERSHIP TO CALL ME. *JS
