  POWER TRAIN:DRIVELINE:DIFFERENTIAL UNIT

  REAR DRIVER'S SIDE TIRE BLEW OUT WITH ONLY 26,000 MILES ON CAR, A 2006 RANGE ROVER SPORT. I WAS TRAVELING 65 MPH ON THE GARDEN STATE PARKWAY. CAR HAD BEEN SERVICED REGULARLY AND THERE WAS NO PRIOR WARNING. I HAD TO TAKE IT TO THE CLOSEST DEALER ONCE TIRE WAS REPAIRED, AS AAA ROAD SERVICE FELT IT WAS UNSAFE TO DRIVE HOME BECAUSE THE OTHER REAR TIRE LOOKED JUST AS BAD. DEALER INITIALLY SAID IT WAS AN ALIGNMENT PROBLEM, BUT ON FURTHER INVESTIGATION, UNCOVERED A PROBLEM WITH THE FRONT DIFFERENTIAL.*AK

  POWER TRAIN:DRIVELINE:DIFFERENTIAL UNIT

  1) THERE WERE NO SIGNS OR EVENTS LEADING UP TO THE FAILURE. 2) AT 65 MPH THE FRONT DIFFERENTIAL CAME APART, LOCKING UP THE FRONT TIRES AND PUTTING THE VEHICLE INTO AN UNCONTROLLABLE SKID. THE VEHICLE WAS TOTALLY DISABLED AND WE HAD A DIFFICULT TIME GETTING IT OFF THE HIGHWAY. THIS ALMOST CAUSED US AN ACCIDENT AND WE WERE ALMOST REAR ENDED TWICE. SOMEONE COULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY INJURED OR KILLED! 3)LAND ROVER NORTH SCOTTSDALE REPLACED FRONT DIFFERENTIAL, FRONT DRIVE SHAFT BENT AND REPLACED DRIVE SHAFT, FRONT DIFF MOUNT BENT & STRAIGHTENED MOUNT. THEY REPLACED THEM WITH NEW IDENTICAL PARTS. WE HAVE HEARD OF OTHER INCIDENCES WITH FRONT DIFF. FAILURE. WHEN IS SOMETHING GOING TO BE DONE ABOUT THIS! *NM
