  POWER TRAIN:DRIVELINE:DRIVESHAFT

  DRIVING CAR HOME AND FIND VISCOUS FLUID LEAKING FROM FRONT COUPLER. TAKE TO DEALER AND THEY FIND REAR DRIVE SHAFT ASSEMBLY GONE BAD! REPLACED/REPAIRED REAR DRIVE SHAFT ASSEMBLY. (PROPELLER SHAFT) THIS IS THE SECOND PROBLEM WITH DIFFERENTIAL ISSUES. (BOTH IN THE SAME DAY!) AGAIN, LRNA IS AWARE OF THE ONGOING PROBLEMS WITH IT'S DRIVE SHAFTS ON THE ROVER. AFTER TALKING TO THEM IT IS VERY CLEAR THAT THEY DON'T CARE THAT THEY HAVE A CAR OUT THERE ON THE ROAD WITH PROBLEMS THAT COULD KILL SOMEONE. TAKE SOME ACTION! *NM

  STEERING:COLUMN

  WHILE DRIVING THE STEERING COLUMN DROPPED IN MY LAP!!!! CAR GOES TO DEALER AND THEY REPLACED BROKEN STEERING COLUMN. I WAS TOLD THAT THEY HAVE HAD MANY CASES OF THIS. NHTSA NEEDS TO HOLD LRNA LIABLE FOR THIS AND MAKE THEM FIX THIS COMMON PROBLEM BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED. BETWEEN THIS AND THE DIFFERENTIAL ISSUES SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET HURT OR KILLED. FORGET ABOUT ALL THE ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS THESE CARS HAVE. *NM

  POWER TRAIN:DRIVELINE:DIFFERENTIAL UNIT

  WHILE DRIVING HOME THE FRONT DIFFERENTIAL STARTED LEAKING. PARK THE CAR AND FIND THICK FLUID ON THE GROUND. TAKE TO DEALERSHIP AND THEY FIND LEAKING FRONT DRIVE SHAFT JOINT O-RING. THEY REPLACED AND ALIGNED FRONT DIFF. LRNA IS AWARE OF DIFFERENTIAL PROBLEMS AND THE DANGERS THAT CAN COME FROM IT. AFTER TALKING TO LRNA ABOUT THE MANY PROBLEMS WE HAVE HAD WITH THIS CAR IT IS VERY CLEAR THAT THEY DON'T CARE ABOUT THE CUSTOMER OTHER THEN TO KEEP FIXING THE CAR UNDER THERE WARRANTY. I HAVE HEARD OF MANY CASES OF FRONT DIFFERENTIAL'S GOING BAD ON THE ROVER FORUM. PLEASE CHECK INTO THIS BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED. *NM

  SUSPENSION:FRONT

  EXCESSIVE INNER TIRE WEAR, CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO LOSE CONTROL WHEN IT RAINS. UNSAFE SLIPPERY FEELING, AND VEHICLE SLIDING OFF THE ROAD ON THE HIGHWAY. VEHICLE HAS BEEN TO REPAIR SHOP 4 TIMES, AND COULD NOT CORRECT THE PROBLEM. 3 SETS OF TIRES FOR EVERY 7 -10,000 MILES, AND DEALER ROTATED THEM. VEHICLE LOST CONTROL ON WET PAVEMENT. NOT NORMAL. I HAVE OWNED SEVERAL RANGE ROVERS AND NEVER EXPERIENCED THIS PROBLEM SINCE I BOUGHT THE 2003. I CONTACTED THE MANUFACTURER AND THEY HAVE NOT COME BACK TO ME WITH A MEETING OR OTHERWISE. FRONT BALL JOINTS SWAY BARS,MANY FRONT END PARTS HAVE BEEN REPLACED ,AND STILL NOT RESOLVED. INNER TIRE WEAR IS TO EXCESSIVE, AND ABNORMAL, TOO FAST, AND IF NOT NOTED IN THE PUBLIC, I BELIEVE THIS WILL CAUSE MANY ACCIDENTS LIKE THE FORD EXPLORER.*AK
