AIR BAGS
PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG INDICATOR ACTIVATES AND DEACTIVATES INTERMITTENTLY DURING A SINGLE TRIP WITH A SINGLE PASSENGER. FOR EXAMPLE, AFTER 45 MINUTES INTO A TRIP DRIVING A STEADY 75 MPH, THE INDICATOR LIGHT WILL ILLUMINATE TO NOTE THAT THE PASSENGER AIRBAG IS NOW DEACTIVATED AND WILL REMAIN THIS WAY FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE 4-HOUR TRIP. THIS OCCURS DESPITE THE FACT THAT PASSENGER IS SITTING AS SHE SHOULD, NOT MOVING ABOUT, AND WEIGHS 120 POUNDS. NO AMOUNT OF MOVING AROUND OR SITTING STILL CHANGES THE DEACTIVATION LIGHT. UNDOING THE SEAT BELT AND REFASTENING WILL OCCASIONALLY CAUSE THE LIGHT TO SHUT OFF FOR 10 OR 15 MINUTES, BUT IT COMES BACK ON AGAIN AND STAYS ON PERMANENTLY. ON SHORTER, LOCAL TRIPS THAT LAST AROUND A HALF HOUR AT LOWER SPEEDS, THE PASSENGER AIRBAG LIGHT DOES NOT ILLUMINATE, MEANING THAT THE AIRBAGS ARE ACTIVATED. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN BROUGHT TO LAND ROVER CHICAGO TWICE, AND THEY REFUSE TO SERVICE OR ASSIST FURTHER. LAND ROVER CORPORATE ALSO CLAIMS OPERATION IS NORMAL. YET, NO ONE CAN EXPLAIN WHY THE AIRBAG PROTECTION IS INTERMITTENT, WHAT WEIGHT YOU MUST BE TO RECEIVE AIRBAG PROTECTION, OR WHAT IS CAUSING THE COMPUTER TO CHANGE ITS MIND 45 MINUTES INTO A TRIP. NOR CAN ANYONE EXPLAIN WHY THE SAME PASSENGER HAS AIRBAG PROTECTION DURING LOCAL TRIPS BUT NOT ON LONGER TRIPS AT FASTER SPEED. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN
START/STOP FEATURE SHUTS THE ENGINE DOWN WHEN STOPPED. ENGINE RESTARTS UPON RELEASE OF BRAKE PEDAL. CAR LURCHES FORWARD AS ENGINE RESTARTS. THIS NEARLY RESULTED IN A PEDESTRIAN COLLISION. PEDESTRIAN WAS CROSSING AGAINST GREEN LIGHT. WHEN BRAKE PEDAL WAS RELEASED, THE CAR LURCHED FORWARD AS ENGINE RESTARTED NEARLY RESULTING IN UNAVOIDABLE COLLISION WITH PEDESTRIAN. START/STOP SYSTEM CANNOT BE PERMANENTLY DISABLED.
