VISIBILITY/WIPER
THE WINDSHIELD IS SEPARATING FROM THE GLASS, AND GETTING SMALL CRACKS TOO AT THE EDGES, WHICH CAN BE DANGEROUS BREAKING DIRECTLY WHILE DRIVING ANYTIME. I DON'T EXACTLY WHEN IT HAS HAPPENED, BUT NOTICED IT NOW.

AIR BAGS
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.

I PURCHASED THE CAR IN MARCH OF 2017 WITH 101,000 MILES ON IT. IT NOW HAS 119,000. AS OF 24 JUN 2019, THE REAR END BEGAN MAKING A NOISE WHILE TURNING. I TOOK IT TO A LOCAL IMPORT REPAIR SHOP. MY MECHANIC INFORMED ME THAT THE DIFFERENTIAL IS CURRENTLY BEING HELD TOGETHER WITH ZIP-TIES. ZIP. TIES. AS I HAVE NEVER HAD WORK DONE ON THE REAR END OF THE CAR, THAT MEANS THAT THE ZIP-TIES WERE PUT ON BEFORE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. I HAVE NO IDEA WHEN BUT THE REAL QUESTION IS THIS: HOW LONG IS A DIFFERENTIAL SUPPOSED TO LAST? THE DIFFERENTIAL IS CURRENTLY LOCKED INTO ALL-WHEEL DRIVE ALL THE TIME. THE DIFFERENTIAL ALONE WILL COST $4900. THE FLUIDS WILL COST $40. I AM NOT SURE ABOUT THE NUMBER OF HOURS OF LABOR BUT IT WON'T BE OVER A DAY. SO LET'S SAY A DAY OF LABOR WOULD BE 8 HRS AT A RATE OF $120/HOUR. 4900+40+960 = 5900. RIGHT NOW, MY VEHICLE IS ONLY WORTH 2,200. I OWE NO LOAN BUT I AM UPSIDE-DOWN NONETHELESS. THIS IS NOT WEAR AND TEAR. THIS DIFFERENTIAL WAS POORLY DESIGNED. THE POOR DESIGN WAS EXACERBATED WHEN THE DIFFERENTIAL WAS NOT DEALT WITH. IF NOT REPLACED, THE LOCKED DIFFERENTIAL WILL DESTROY THE TRANSMISSION. THEN WHAT WILL I DO?

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 LAND ROVER LR2. WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH, A LOUD HUMMING NOISE WAS COMING FROM THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE. THE FASTER THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED, THE LOUDER THE NOISE BECAME. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED AND WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 83,000.

AIR BAGS, SEAT BELTS
I RECENTLY PURCHASED THE 2010 LR2 FROM A USED DEALERSHIP AND THE AIRBAG LIGHT AND SEAT BELT LIGHT ARE ON. THE SEAT BELT WORKS JUST FINE, BUT THE LIGHT STAYS ON (EVEN WHEN A PASSENGER IS IN THE CAR AND HAS THEIR SEAT BELT FASTENED). I SAW THAT THERE WAS A PREVIOUS RECALL ON LR2'S FOR MY YEAR ABOUT THE AIRBAGS AND I AM WORRIED THAT THEY WON'T FUNCTION IF I GET INTO A WRECK BECAUSE THE LIGHT IS ON.

REAR END OF LR2 STARTED TO HUM AT 62,522 MILES. BROUGHT IT TO LAND ROVER DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME THAT IT WAS THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL AND THE COST OF REPLACEMENT WOULD BE $3000.00 DOLLARS. NO VEHICLE SHOULD BE THIS COSTLY AT SO LOW MILEAGE AND AFTER FURTHER RESEARCH THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM THAT LAND ROVER WILL NOT FIX. DEFINETLY RECALL WORTHY AS THIS IS NOT SAFE AND COULD BE A ROAD HAZARD. NOISE HAS LOUDEND AFTER A WEEK.

"TAKATA RECALL" WHEN MOVING AT LOW OR REGULAR SPEED AND TURNING, THERE IS A RUMBLING STUMPING SOUND COMING FROM THE REAR. I TOOK IT TO THE SHOP AND IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL WAS THE ISSUE. ON RESEARCHING THE LAND-ROVER FORUM, I FOUND THAT MY ISSUE WAS NOT PECULIAR TO ME ALONE BUT IT WAS A MAJOR ISSUE WITH OTHER 2008 LR2 OWNERS AND COSTLY TO CHANGE TOO. HOWEVER LAND-ROVER ISSUED A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN LTB00342 (ISSUE 3) IN AUG 2011) ABOUT THIS. WHY NOT A RECALL FOR THE FAULTY REAR DIFFERENTIAL OR FREE REPLACEMENT OF THE

MY WIFE AND I STARTED NOTICING A HUMMING NOISE COMING FROM THE REAR END OF THE VEHICLE THAT SEEMS TO SLOWLY BE GETTING WORSE. THEN WE STARTED GETTING A TRANSMISSION FAULT ERROR MESSAGE ON THE DASH. STARTED DOING RESEARCH AND HAVE FOUND MANY OTHERS WITH THE SAME SYMPTOMS BEFORE THEIR REAR DIFFERENTIAL GOES OUT COMPLETELY. WE ARE DRIVING THE LR2 ACROSS COUNTRY A FEW TIMES THIS NEXT YEAR. IT'S PROBALY GOING TO GO OUT AT SOME POINT. IF THIS IS SUCH A WELL KNOWN ISSUE. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY A RECALL HASN'T BEEN ISSUED!
