CURRENTLY THE CAR HAS 36,000 MILES PER THE ODOMETER. TWO DAYS AGO, A HUMMING SOUND STARTED COMING FROM THE REAR UNDERCARRIAGE WHILE DRIVING, AND CONTINUED REGARDLESS OF SPEED. THIS WAS A NEW SOUND, ONE THAT SOUNDED LIKE SOMETHING WAS WRONG, LIKE THE TIRE WAS ABOUT TO FALL OFF THE CAR. THIS WAS SCARY ESPECIALLY SINCE A CAR WITH THIS FEW MILES SHOULD NOT HAVE ANYTHING SERIOUSLY WRONG WITH IT. THE MECHANICS CONFIRMED THAT THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL NEEDS TO BE REPLACED, AND QUOTES ARE EACH AROUND $7,000.00! THIS KIND OF DEFECT SHOULD NOT HAVE GONE UNNOTICED BY LAND ROVER FOR SO LONG WITHOUT ISSUING A RECALL OR HAVING THE DEFECT ADDRESSED PRIOR TO FURTHER PRODUCTION OF THE VEHICLE. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A HUGE FINANCIAL BURDEN, EMOTIONAL BURDEN, AND ONE THAT COMPROMISED MY SAFETY. RESEARCHING ONLINE, THERE SEEMS TO BE NUMEROUS OTHER LR2 OWNERS EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUE THAT HAVE REPORTED FILING COMPLAINTS AS WELL.

DRIVING AT A SAFE FREEWAY SPEED 70MPH, THE MOTOR SUDDENLY STOP WITH NO WARNING. AS THE CAR SLOWED DOWN, I WAS ABLE TO TURN ON HAZARD LIGHTS, MOVE TO NEUTRAL AND SAFELY MAKE MY WAY TO RIGHT SHOULDER. THE CAR WAS UNABLE TO START FOR OVER THREE WEEKS SINCE THEN.. THE CAR IS CURRENTLY WITH DEALER. IT WAS A DANGEROUS SITUATION WITH MY 3-MONTH OLD AND WIFE WITH ME, HOW DOES A CAR JUST STOP ON A HIGHWAY.

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.
