VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL:ACCELERATOR PEDAL
MY DAUGHTER'S GAS PEDAL STUCK AND WOULD NOT RELEASE ON HER 2004 LAND ROVER DISCOVERY. SHE DROVE INTO THE DITCH TO AVOID OTHER CARS. SHE HAS WITNESSES WHO ACTUALLY CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND TOLD THEM THEY WITNESSED THE EVENT. SERVICE CENTER INVESTIGATED, TOLD ME THEY HAD SEEN THIS BEFORE AND THERE WAS NO SUCCESS IN JUST DECREASING AND LUBRICATING THE OLD GAS LINKAGE ONLY TO HAVE IT HAPPEN AGAIN. THEY RECOMMENDED I REPLACE IT AND PAY FOR IT. I DID UNDER PROTEST FOR MY DAUGHTER SINCE THIS IS A "LIFE OR DEATH" SITUATION THAT SHOULD NOT BE OURS TO PAY FOR. HAD THE LINE KINKED, BENT OR BEEN DAMAGED IN ANY WAY TO CAUSE SUCH A PROBLEM, I BELIEVE IT WOULD HAVE BEEN ACCEPTABLE. HOWEVER TO HAVE THEM SAY THEY ARE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND CAN ONLY FIX IT BY PUTTING ON NEW GAS PEDAL LINES SOUND LIKE A "HUGE" DEFECT TO ME. I WANT AN INVESTIGATION AND WE HAVE THE OLD PART. *JB

LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES:TAILGATE:LATCH
I HAD THE TAILGATE OF MY LAND ROVER DISCOVERY OPEN AS I PUT IN MY CAR SEATS. THE TAILGATE WAS OPEN ALL OF THE WAY AND IN THE LOCKED POSITION. MY DAUGHTER STOOD AT THE TAILGATE LOOKING INTO THE REAR OF THE CAR. A COMBINATION OF ME MOVING IN THE CAR AND THE WIND, THE DOOR BEGAN TO CLOSE. THE DOOR IS VERY HEAVY AND THE MOMENTUM EVEN MADE IT HEAVIER AS THE CAR WAS ON A SLIGHT DECLINE. THE DOOR DID NOT STAY IN THE LOCKED POSITION AND BEGAN TO SWIFTLY CLOSE. MY DAUGHTER'S HEAD IS RIGHT ABOVE THE CLOSING OF THE DOOR. IF THE DOOR WOULD HAVE SLAMMED, SHE WOULD HAVE HAD MASSIVE HEAD INJURY AND OR POSSIBLE WORSE, DECAPITATED. IT HAS DONE THIS MANY TIMES. THE DOOR DOESN'T STAY OPEN. I HAVE BEEN HIT MYSELF AND IT HAS LEFT HUGE MARKS ON MY BODY. THE DEALER SAID IT WAS MEANT TO BE THIS WAY. I DISAGREE, ESPECIALLY AFTER TONIGHT'S INCIDENT WHICH COULD HAVE BEEN FATAL. *JB

EXTERIOR LIGHTING:BRAKE LIGHTS
PURCHASED A 2004 LAND ROVER DISCOVERY 2 SE WITH 6 MILES ON IT. 2 DAYS AFTER I BOUGHT IT A NEIGHBOR NOTICED THAT THE BRAKES LIGHTS STAYED ON CONSTANTLY SO THAT ANYONE BEHIND ME IN TRAFFIC COULD NOT TELL IF I WAS STOPPING. I BOUGHT THIS CAR FOR SAFETY FOR MY 10 MONTH OLD DAUGHTER SINCE MY OTHER 2 CARS HAVE OVER 200,000 MILES EACH. NOW IT IS PARKED IN THE DRIVEWAY AND I AM BACK TO DRIVING MY CARS WITH 399,951 MORE MILE THAN THE BRAND NEW LAND ROVER. *JB

LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES:TAILGATE:LATCH
IN 09-2004 PURCHASED LAND ROVER 2004 DISCOVERY, AFTER CONTACTING THE DEALER AND LAND ROVER CSR THEY INFORMED ME THAT MY 2004 HAS A DOOR CHECKER AS A SAFETY DEVICE ON TAIL GATE DOOR WHICH IS SHARP AND SWINGS CLOSED. COME TO FIND OUT THAT THIS IS SOMETHING ELSE. THERE IS NO SAFETY LATCH FOR DISCOVERY VEHICLE TAIL GATE DOORS-I OFFERED TO PAY AND NOTHING IS AVAILABLE. THEY SAID THAT IT IS ONLY REQUIRED TO STAY OPEN ON FLAT LAND WITH NO WIND. I LIVE IN CALIFORNIA, REDWOOD SHORES WHERE THE WHOLE TOWN IS FLAT AND THE WEATHER IS MILD THIS DOOR HAS ALMOST KILLED ME TWICE. I FEEL THIS CAR DOES NOT COMPLY WITH SAFETY REQUIREMENTS FOR THIS REASON. *JB

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
MY NAME IS [XXX] AND I AM WRITING TO YOU IN REGARDS TO THE SERVICE OF A VEHICLE DONE RECENTLY AT THE LAND ROVER IN ENCINO, CA. ON APPROXIMATELY MAY 17, 2004 MY VEHICLE WAS DROPPED OFF IN ORDER FOR THE TRANSMISSION BOX TO BE REPLACED. NEARLY A WEEK LATER I WAS TOLD THAT THE NEEDED PART WAS BACK ORDERED AND WAS TOLD THAT THE VEHICLE HAD TO BE PICKED UP IMMEDIATELY. I THEN EXPRESSED MY CONCERN TO A SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE BY THE NAME OF [XXX], THAT DUE TO THE VEHICLE LUNGING FORWARD AT TIMES AND THE POSSIBILITY OF GETTING INTO A COLLISION, THAT I PREFERRED THAT THE VEHICLE BE LEFT THERE UNTIL THE SERVICE WAS COMPLETELY. I WAS TOLD HOWEVER THAT DESPITE SUCH OCCURRENCES, THE VEHICLE COLD NOT BE LEFT THERE AND HAD TO PICKED UP. ON APPROXIMATELY JUNE 10, 2004, AFTER BEING NOTIFIED THAT THE REQUIRED PART HAD COME IN, I DROPPED OF THE VEHICLE IN ORDER FOR THE PART TO BE REPLACED. THE ODOMETER READING WAS NOTED AND THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN IN. HOWEVER ON JUNE 14, 2004 THE ODOMETER SHOWED AN EXCEEDED MILEAGE OF NEARLY SIXTY MILES OVER THE DOCUMENTED INVOICE. I NOTIFIED THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT VIA TELEPHONE WHO ONLY STATED THAT THE ODOMETER MUST HAVE BEEN INCORRECTLY DOCUMENTED AND THAT THE TECHNICIAN WHO HAD PERFORMED THE SERVICE, ONLY HAD DRIVEN THE VEHICLE NO MORE THAN SIX MILES. WITHIN ONE HOUR LATER, MY BROTHER WENT TO THE SERVICING DEPARTMENT AND SPOKE WITH [XXX] WHO STATED THAT SHE AS WELL AS OTHER INDIVIDUALS WERE THE ONES WHO DROVE THE VEHICLE FOR THAT EXCEEDED MILEAGE.*AK INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
MY BRAND NEW 2004 LAND ROVER DISCOVERY SE7 HAS LESS THAN A THOUSAND MILES BUT HAS ALREADY PAID 3 VISITS TO THE DEALER'S SERVICE DEPARTMENT FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. THE PROBLEM IS THAT 4 WARNING LIGHTS KEEP TURNING ON AND STAYING ON WHEN THE CAR IS IN OPERATION. THESE 4 WARNING LIGHTS ARE: BRAKES, ABS, TC, AND HDC. I BOUGHT THIS CAR FROM PRESTIGE AUTO GROUP AT PARAMUS, NJ.
