SUSPENSION:REAR
DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AND MY CAR CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP. THE REAR SUSPENSION DROPPED TO THE GROUND WITH NO WARNING OR NO APPARENT REASON. THEN I FELT MY LEFT TIRE GO FLAT. ONCE CHP AND THE TOW TRUCK GOT ME OFF THE FREEWAY. I NOTICED THAT THE ENTIRE REAR SUSPENSION WAS ON THE GROUND. THE SUSPENSION FAILURE CAUSED BOTH OF MY REAR TIRES TO BUCKLE INWARD CAUSING THE LEFT ONE TO BLOW AND THE RIGHT ON GAUGED OUT ON THE INSIDE. LAND ROVER DEALERSHIP DIAGNOSTIC REPORT SHOWED SUSPENSION FAILURE AND THEY JUST PUSHED A BUTTON TO RAISE IT BACK UP. THEY FIXED ABSOLUTELY NOTHING AND EXPECTED ME TO PAY FOR TWO NEW TIRES AND WANTED TO SEND ME BACK ON THE ROAD. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NO HELP EITHER. I STILL PAY THIS CAR NOTE AND TO DATE HAVE NEVER DRIVEN THIS DEATH TRAP AGAIN. IM A AFRAID IT WILL HAPPEN AGAIN WITHOUT ANY CAUSE OR WARNING. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, OTHER
7:30 AM ON LIE (495) WESTBOUND FROM EXIT 49 TO 41. ALL THREE LANES ARE BUMPER TO BUMPER EXCEPT THE HOV LANE WHICH LOOKS LIKE A GHOST LANE. MY WIFE AND I SEE THIS PICTURE EVERYDAY AS WE RIDE TOGETHER TO WORK. PAINFULLY, EVENTHOUGH WE'RE ENTITLED TO USE THIS LANE WE CANNOT ENTER FOR A 5-MILE STRETCH DUE TO DOUBLE SOLID LINE BARRIER. WHAT IS THE RATIONALE OF SUCH A BARRIER? IT CAUSES MORE TRAFFIC AS IT PREVENTS THE HIGH OCCUPANCY VEHICLES TO ENTER HOV LANE AND ADDS MORE CARS TO BUMPER TO BUMPER TRAFFIC. IT DISCOURAGES PEOPLE FROM CAR POOLING SINCE REDUCES THE EFFECTIVENESS OF THE HOV LANES. I THINK THE HOV LANE SHOULD BE FREE TO ENTER FROM ANYWHERE FOR HOV'S (AS IN MOST STATES, SUCH AS FLORIDA). IF THE BARRIER IS A "MUST HAVE" FOR LIE, AT LEAST THE ENTRANCES SHOULD BE EVERY A MILE OR TWO ( NOT FIVE MILES OR EIGHT EXITS APART). I WOULD GREATLY APPRECIATE A RESPONSE. I WILL EVEN APPRECIATE MORE IF YOU COULD SOLUTION TO THIS PROBLEM. THANK YOU. DR. ALAN SEZER *TR

SUSPENSION:FRONT:SPRINGS:AIR SUSPENSION SYSTEM
LAND ROVER'S RANGE ROVER SPORT SUPERCHARGED WAS DESIGNED WITH A HYDRAULIC SUSPSENSION SYSTEM THAT BREAKS DOWN AFTER OR AROUND JUST 1000 MILES. AFTER A CUSTOMER HAS PURCHASED A NEW SPORT FROM LAND ROVER, LAND ROVER IS STIFFING ALL OF IT'S CUSTOMERS WITH THESE CARS AND CALLING THE KNOCKING AND CLUNKING "NORMAL". THIS IS TOTALLY AND UTTERLY OFFENSIVE, I HAVE ALREADY LEMON LAWED MY FIRST 2006 SPORT. OUT OF GOOD WILL AND APPRECIATION FOR THE BRAND, I PURCHASED A 2007 SPORT SUPERCHARGED THE VERY SAME DAY I TURNED IN MY 2006 IN HOPES THAT THEY HAD CORRECTED THE ISSUE AND/OR MY ISSUE WITH MY 2006 WAS JUST A FLUKE. I WAS WRONG, LAND ROVER HAS GIVEN MY ATTORNEY AND I THE COLD SHOULDER, THEY HAVE SPECIFICALLY TOLD MY LOCAL REPAIR CENTER NOT TO REPAIR MY CAR!!! I AM DISGUSTED BY THIS COMPANIES BUSINESS AND CUSTOMER RELATIONS PRACTICES AND AM LOOKING INTO FILING A JOINT CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT AGAINST LAND ROVER. THE PARTS OF THE CAR THAT ARE DEFECTIVE ARE CALLED THE DYNAMIC RESPONSE SYSTEM. MY 2007 SPORT HAD IT'S ENTIRE SUSPENSION SYSTEM REPLACED AT JUST 3 WEEKS AFTER OWNERSHIP AT 1000 MILES YET IT STILL CONTINUES TO GIVE ME TROUBLE. I HAVE NOT HAD THE CAR FOR 13 MONTHS AND LAND ROVER HAS MADE TO EFFORT TO DO RIGHT BY ONE OF THEIR YOUNG AND LOYAL CUSTOMERS. I AM FILING THIS COMPLAINT WITH THE NHTSA BECAUSE THIS CAR DOES NOT SOUND OR FEEL SAFE TO DRIVE. I HAVE ALREADY BEEN IN A HIGHWAY SPEED ACCIDENT WHEN I WAS MUCH YOUNGER AND DO NOT WANT TO RISK EVER HAVING TO GO THROUGH THAT AGAIN. I HAVE EMAILED LAND ROVER CLIPS OF MY CAR MAKING THE LOUND CLUNKING NOISE, I HAVE ALSO DEMONSTRATED THE CLUNKING TO A LAND ROVER REPRESENTATIVE. LAND ROVER HAS DECIDED THAT A RECALL WOULD COST THEM TOO MUCH MONEY AND ARE STIFFING THEIR CUSTOMERS WHO SHELL OUT CLOSE TO $100K FOR THIS CAR. *CN

POWER TRAIN:DRIVELINE:DIFFERENTIAL UNIT
ON DEC1, 2007 I WAS DRIVING MY 2006 RANGE ROVER SPORT SUPERCHARGED ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY IN TORONTO CANADA. ALL OF A SUDDEN THEIR WAS A MAJOR SQUEALING NOISE, THEN THE FRONT TIRES LOCKED UP. IT WAS A MAJOR FAILURE AND COULD HAVE BEEN A HUGE ACCIDENT. I MANAGED TO GET THE VEHICLE OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I WAS IN A DANGEROUS PLACE. THE POLICE STOPPED, GOT A TOW TRUCK RIGHT AWAY. THE CAR WAS TOWED TO THORNHILL LAND ROVER IN TORONTO. TURNS OUT IT WAS A MAJOR DIFFERENTIAL FAILURE. THE SPLINES ALL SHEERED OFF ON THE INPUT DRIVE TUBE. LAND ROVER WAS GREAT, THEY FIXED THE VEHICLE QUICKLY. I AM WRITING THIS BECAUSE I FEEL MY KIDS AND I WERE VERY LUCKY NOT TO BE IN A HUGE ACCIDENT. I HAVE LEARNED THAT MY ISSUE IS NOT UNCOMMON. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT. THANK YOU*CN
