AIR BAGS
PASSENGER SEAT OCCUPANCY SENSOR FAILED WHICH DISABLES THE AIRBAG(S), REQUIRING REPLACEMENT. I KNOW THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE SAME PART SEVERAL 2006 BMW MODELS, LAND ROVER WAS OWNED BY BMW AT THE SAME TIME AND THE PART REPLACED HAS BMW BRANDING ON IT. LIKELY IT IS THE SAME PART AND SHOULD HAVE BEEN INCLUDED IN THAT RECALL. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:COOLING SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, SUSPENSION, EQUIPMENT
I HAD A 2006 RANGE ROVER SUPER CHARGE WITH ENGINE/TRANSMISSION PROBLEM AND COOLANT PROBLEMS. THIS PROBLEM EXISTED FROM 5,000 MILES ALL THE WAY TO 64,000. I KEPT COMPLAINING AND BRINGING THE CAR BACK TO THE FIRST PLACE IT BROKE DOWN WHICH WAS IN GEORGIA. I TRIED TO TAKE THE TRUCK TO A SERVICE PLACE IN NEW JERSEY BUT WAS TOLD I HAD TO BRING THE CAR BACK TO THE FIRST PLACE WHERE IT WAS SO CALLED REPAIRED! WHICH TO ME WAS TOO FAR! AFTER BRINGING THE CAR AND COMPLAINING TO LAND ROVER CORPORATE NO ONE WOULD HELP ME AND THE TRANSMISSION WENT ON THE CAR AND THE RADIATOR WHICH I WAS FORCED TO PAY FOR BOTH EVEN THOUGH I WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY AND THE PROBLEM WAS NEVER FIXED FOR THE WHOLE TIME I HAD THE VEHICLE! THIS CREATED A HARDSHIP FOR ME AND IT COST ME OVER $15,000 WHICH I PAID AND WHEN I RETURNED THE VEHICLE I AM NOW BEING SUED FOR OVER $12,000 DOLLARS WHICH SOUNDS CRAZY TO ME AND THE SERVICE MANAGER WHO I COMPLAINED ABOUT WAS LATER FIRED FOR NOT HONORING WARRANTIES AND BEING DISRESPECTFUL! PLEASE HELP ME! AFTER RESEARCHING THIS SITE I SEE THAT THIS IS A ON GOING PROBLEM WITH RANGE ROVER! *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
I HAVE OWNED TWO 2006 RANGE ROVER HSE. THE FIRST ONE LAND ROVER PURCHASED BACK FROM ME DUE TO THEIR FAILURE TO BE ABLE TO FIX THE PROBLEM WITH THE ENGINE SMOKING AND LOSING POWER. THEY TOLD ME AT THE TIME THAT MY VEHICLE WAS THE ONLY ONE IN NORTH AMERICA TO HAVE THIS PARTICULAR PROBLEM. IT HAD AROUND 13,000 MILES ON IT WHEN THEY PURCHASED IT BACK FROM ME. THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN IN THE SHOP FOR ONE WEEK THE FIRST TIME ON A DIFFERENT PROBLEM AND THEN WHEN IT WENT IN FOR THE SMOKING ENGINE IT WAS IN THE SHOP FOR ABOUT 5 WEEKS BEFORE THEY BOUGHT IT BACK AND AT THAT TIME I PURCHASED ANOTHER 2006 RANGE ROVER HSE. MY LATEST RANGE ROVER IS IN THE SHOP FOR THE SMOKING ENGINE AND LOSS OF POWER. I GUESS THAT I HAVE THE ONLY TWO VEHICLES NOW IN NORTH AMERICA THAT ARE EXPERIENCING THESE ISSUES, BUT I SINCERELY DOUBT IT. *NM

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED AFTER USING THE KEYLESS ENTRY REMOTE TO LOCK THE VEHICLE DOORS A CHILD INSIDE THE VEHICLE WAS UNABLE TO EXIT BY MANUALLY UNLOCKING THE DOOR.

AIR BAGS:FRONTAL, FUEL SYSTEM, OTHER:STORAGE:TANK ASSEMBLY, EQUIPMENT
ON MARCH 25, 2006 MY FAMILY WAS ON I-75 IN OUR 2003 DISCOVERY SE. WE WERE IN A CONSTRUCTION ZONE AND A PERSON SEVERAL CARS AHEAD MADE A SUDDEN LANE CHANGE CUTTING OFF A DRIVER AHEAD OF IN OUR LANE. HE BRAKES SUDDENLY. THE TRUCK FOLLOWING STRUCK HIM. I WAS ALREADY SLOWING DOWN DUE TO THE HEAVY TRAFFIC. HOWEVER, I STRUCK THE TRUCK. IT WAS NOT A HEAVY COLLISION AND THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. ALMOST IMMEDIATELY, I WAS STRUCK FROM BEHIND BY AN 18 WHEELER. UPON IMPACT, MY DISCOVERY BURST INTO FLAMES IN THE BACK. THE IMPACT AGAIN DROVE MY VEHICLE IN TO THE TRUCK AHEAD. THIS TIME IT WAS A VERY HEAVY IMPACT (THE HOOD CRUMPLED AND THE WINDSHIELD SHATTERED) BUT THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. WE JUST BARELY GOT OUT (I HAD 2ND DEGREE BURNS TO SIDE OF FACE AND HAND) I AM CONCERNED THAT 1.) THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY AT LEAST THE SECOND TIME AND 2.) THE VEHICLE BURST INTO FLAMES ON IMPACT. *JB

HELLO- I AM NOT POSITIVE IF THIS IS THE EXACT LOCATION TO BE SENDING THIS. I AM A WITNESS TO A DEFECT OR A MALFUNCTION WHILE DRIVING A 5 MONTH OLD 2006 LAND ROVER LR3. WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY IN THE MOUNTAINS OF COLORADO, MY CAR'S BRAKES LOCKED UP WHILE DRIVING AROUND 68 MPH. THIS CAUSED ME TO SKID TO A COMPLETE STOP ON THE HIGHWAY. HOWEVER, WHILE COMING TO A STOP MY SEAT BELT DID NOT ENGAGE, CAUSING ME TO HIT MY HEAD AND TEAR MUSCLES IN MY BACK, WHICH I HAD CHECKED OUT AT THE DOCTOR. AFTER THIS HAPPENED, I WAS STILL AT A COMPLETE STOP ON THE HIGHWAY NOT ALLOWING ME TO DRIVE OR MOVE OUT OF THE WAY FROM ON COMING TRAFFIC. AS THE STATE TROOPER PHRASED IT, YOU ARE VERY LUCKY TO BE ALIVE AND NOT INJURED. AFTER CONTACTING LAND ROVER ALONG WITH THE DEALER, I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO SOLVE ANYTHING. I AM VERY WORRIED THAT THIS COULD HAPPEN TO SOMEONE ELSE. I ALSO HAVE WITNESSED, ITEMS ON THE CAR WHICH I FEEL NEED TO HAVE A RECALL ON BECAUSE OF THE FACT THE SAME HAS HAPPENED TO THE LOANER CARS AS WELL. STATED BELOW ARE THE AREAS THAT NEED TO BE LOOKED AT WHICH LAND ROVER IS OVER LOOKING OR WILL NOT GIVE US ANY INFORMATION ON. - DRIVERS SIDE LEFT PASSENGER DOOR, WILL NOT LOCK ALONG WITH THE OTHER DOORS AFTER USING THE REMOTE LOCK. HOWEVER, IF OPENED THE ALARM WILL SOUND. - RADIO- KEEPS OVER HEATING, IN WHICH THEY HAVE HAD TO REPLACE MINE THREE TIMES OVER THE 5 MONTH PERIOD OF OWNERSHIP. - SEAT BELTS NOT ENGAGING. I HAVE NO REASON TO BELIEVE AFTER THIS INCIDENT THAT THE SEAT BELTS WILL ENGAGED AT ALL IF A CRASH WERE TO TAKE PLACE. ALONG WITH OTHER ISSUES. PLEASE CONTACT BACK AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. THANK YOU. *NM
