LIKE 1000S OF OTHER OWNERS, MY LR2 NEEDS REAR DIFFERENTIAL REPLACED. WHY NHTSA HAS NOT REVIEWED THIS IS UNBELIEVABLE. THE VOLVO'S BUILT WITH SAME DESIGN HAVE PROBLEMS WITH REAR DIFFERENTIAL FAILING AS WELL. THE COST OF THIS REPAIR $2400-3000.. HAS THE NHTSA EVEN LOOKED INTO THIS? THIS IS AN EXPENSIVE REPAIR AND I'M READING BLOGS WHERE MANY PEOPLE ARE ATTEMPTING TO DO THE REPAIRS THEMSELVES N GIVING EACH OTHER 'TRIAL N ERROR' TIPS. OTHERS ARE POSTING ASKING WHAT'S THE WORST THAT CAN HAPPEN IF THEY DON'T DO THE REPAIRS. WELL, THE TRANSMISSION CAN LOCK UP CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. SO WHAT WILL IT TAKE FOR A RECALL TO BE AT LEAST CONSIDERED? THIS SEEMS TO BE VERY SIMILAR TO TOYOTA PRIUS RECALL SEVERAL YEARS AGO. AND IT TOOK HOW MANY DEATHS BEFORE A RECALL WAS ISSUED?? OR FORD PINTO CASE SAD THING HERE IS... NHTSA SHOULD BE LISTENING TO THE CONSUMERS! YET SEEMS LIKE NOT MUCH HAS CHANGED OR MAYBE FORGOTTEN....

NOTICED A LOUD NOISE FROM REAR OF VEHICLE WHILE DRIVING. THE GREATER THE SPEED THE LOUDER THE NOISE. DEALER INSPECTION CONFIRMED REAR DIFFERENTIAL FAILING AND NEEDS REPLACEMENT. VEHICLE HAS 38,000 MILES AND STILL HAS THE ORIGINAL FACTORY TIRES. REAR DIFFERENTIAL FAILING BEFORE ORIGINAL TIRES ARE WORE OUT! POTENTIAL TOTAL FAILURE OF REAR DIFFERENTIAL DURING OPERATION A REAL SAFETY CONCERN.

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:POWER ASSIST:VACUUM:HOSES, LINES/PIPING, AND FITTINGS, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL:ACCELERATOR PEDAL
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 LAND ROVER LR2. WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH, THE BRAKE AND ACCELERATOR PEDALS BECAME DIFFICULT TO DEPRESS. THE CONTACT PULLED THE VEHICLE OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC AND IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE VACUUM PUMP MALFUNCTIONED AND NEEDED REPLACEMENT. THE DEALER (LAND ROVER SOUTHWEST HOUSTON, 10150 SOUTHWEST FWY, HOUSTON, TX 77074, (844) 894-5469) WAS CONTACTED. THE CONTACT PLANNED ON TOWING THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING AND REPAIRS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 51,000.

AIR BAGS:SENSOR:OCCUPANT CLASSIFICATION, AIR BAGS, SEAT BELTS
TAKATA RECALL UPON TURNING MY CAR ON THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT AIRBAG WARNING INDICATOR LIGHT HAS APPEARED. I'M AWARE THAT WHEN THE DRIVER AND/OR PASSENGER SITS IN THE FRONT SEATS OF THE VEHICLE A SEAT BELT REMINDER SENSOR APPEARS. THIS SENSOR TRIGGERS A WARNING LIGHT AND AN AUDIBLE CHIME TO REMIND THE DRIVER AND/OR PASSENGER TO FASTEN THEIR SEAT BELT. HOWEVER, MY CAR ONLY REMINDS/CHIMES FOR THE DRIVER SEAT. THE SENSOR DOES NOT TRIGGER WHEN THERE IS AN OCCUPANT IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. I'M AWARE THAT OTHER LAND ROVER MAKES/MODELS HAVE HAD RECALLS DUE TO AIR BAG ISSUES. I'M CONCERNED THAT THE MAKE/MODEL OF MY CAR HAS THE SAME PROBLEM. IT'S NOW 5 YEARS SINCE I'VE PURCHASED MY VEHICLE (NEW) AND WITHIN THAT TIME THE BATTERY HAD TO BE REPLACED WITHIN 3 YEARS THEN BOTH RIGHT AND LEFT CALIPERS HAD TO BE REPLACED WITHIN 4 YEARS (PROBLEMS THAT I THOUGHT COULD/WOULD OCCUR AT LEAST AFTER 50,000 MILES). CURRENTLY, MY CAR HAS 42,634 MILES ON IT (ROUGHLY 8,500 MILES A YEAR DRIVING TO AND FROM WORK). MY CAR HISTORY WILL SHOW THAT I HAVE NOT BEEN IN ANY SEVERE ACCIDENTS OR IN ANY INCIDENT THAT WOULD RESULT IN THE AIRBAG WARNING INDICATOR LIGHT APPEARING. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF THIS ISSUE IS IN FACT A RECALL OR WAS I JUST DEALT A LEMON?

CONTINUING TO HAVE ENDLESS PROBLEMS OF THE BATTERY DRAINING FOR UNKNOWN REASONS. WHEN THE BATTERY DRAINS TOO LOW THE VEHICLE THEN GOES INTO "CRASH MODE" AND I HAVE TO HAVE IT TOWED AND THE COMPUTER FLASHED TO HAVE THE CODES RESET OR ELSE IT'S NOT DRIVABLE. IT'S HAPPENED ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS SINCE I HAVE OWNED THE VEHICLE.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
3TIMES NOW FIRST BATTERY LIGHT GOES ON THEN ALL LIGHTS ON PANELS STARTS LIGHTING UP FOR NO REASON ANDCAR STARTS SLOWING DOWN AND THEN DIES WHILE DRIVING. IT HAPPENED ON A HIGHWAY AND ON BUSY RUSH HOUR. ALL SYSTEM SHUTS DOWN. IF WINDOWS ARE OPEN THERE IS NO WAY TO SECURE. IN ONE INSTANCE THE KEY WAS IN THE IGNITION AND WAS NOT ABLE TO RETRIEVE IT THIS IS NOT BEING RECOGNIZED ADDRESSED BY LAND ROVER. CANNOT KEEP ON IGNORING THIS ISSUE. UNFORTUNATELY NOT EVERYONE REPORTS TO THE MANUFACTURER, SOMEONE HAS TO DO SOMETHING THIS PROBLEMS ARE DRAINING THE WALLETS OF CONSUMERS BECAUSE EACH TIME CARS HAVE TO BE TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP TO UNLOCK SYSTEM RELOAD SOFTWARE ONLY TO START A DIAGNOSE. ENDING UP WITH THOUSANDS IN REPAIRS . POLICE HAD TO STOP TO PUT FLARES LAST TIME THE CAR BROKE BECAUSE IT WAS DANGEROUS TO WAIT IN THE DARK FOR TOWING

SECOND REAR DIFFERENTIAL NEEDING TO BE REPLACED AFTER <24K MILES. THE FIRST WAS REPLACED AFTER 68K MILES. THERE IS A LOUD GRINDING NOISE COMING FROM THE REAR OF THE TRUCK. TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY ADVISED WHAT I THOUGHT THAT IT WAS. LAND ROVER WILL NOT STAND BEHIND THE PART, TELLS ME THAT IT IS OVER THE 1 YEAR WARRANTY PERIOD. TOO MUCH OF THIS PART GOING BAD AND AN EXPENSIVE REPLACEMENT.

STEERING
MY STEERING COLUMN HAS LOCKED ON ME THREE TIMES AFTER STOPPING MY CAR. WHEN I WOULD REENTER, IT WOULD NOT START BUT MY STEERING COLUMN WOULD TURN. THE DEALERSHIP, EACH TIME, SAID MY STEERING COLUMN WAS LOCKED BECAUSE I NEEDED A BODY CONTROL MODULE, THEN A NEW BATTERY, AND THE 3RD TIME I HAD A BAD STEERING COLUMN. HOWEVER, IT WAS NEVER A RECALL. I SAW SEVERAL COMPLAINTS OF THIS ONLINE, THOUGH NO ONE HAS BEEN KILLED AS A RESULT OF IT. THE CATCH IS THAT IT HAS CAUSED ME AND OTHERS LOTS OF MONEY (OVER $1400.00) EACH TIME THIS PROBLEM OCCURS. IT HAS NEVER STOPPED WHILE I AS DRIVING (ALWAYS STATIONARY), BUT IT DOES MAKE ME NERVOUS THAT IT MIGHT OR SIMPLY THAT I MAY GET STRANDED AGAIN WITH TOW AND REPAIR COSTS.

AIR BAGS, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
FOR ABOUT A MONTH A WARNING LIGHT WAS ON WHENEVER I DROVE, INDICATING THAT THE PASSENGER AIR BAG WAS CONSTANTLY SWITCHED OFF. THIS MEANS THAT MY PASSENGER AIRBAGS AND PERHAPS ALL OF MY AIRBAGS WOULD NOT FUNCTION IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH. AFTER TAKING MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP, THEY TOLD ME THAT IT WAS A SENSOR ISSUE AND SUGGESTED THAT I PAY $2,000 TO REPLACE THE SENSOR BENEATH THE PASSENGER SEAT (A REPAIR THAT WOULD NOT HAVE RESOLVED THE UNDERLYING ISSUE ACCORDING TO THE MECHANICS WHO LATER EXAMINED MY VEHICLE). AFTER READING ABOUT THE LR2 RECALL RELATED TO THE AIRBAG LIGHT, I ASKED IF MY VEHICLE WAS INCLUDED AND THE DEALERSHIP SAID NO. I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO ANOTHER SHOP TO GET A SECOND OPINION. I JUST MENTIONED THE LIGHT AND NOT ANYTHING RELATED TO THE RECALL BEFORE THEY LOOKED AT IT. AFTER EXTENSIVE TESTING, THEY FOUND THAT THE DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE, UO154-00, APPEARED AND TOLD ME THAT THE DEALERSHIP SHOULD RESOLVE THE ISSUE FREE OF CHARGE SINCE IT IS THE EXACT PROBLEM ENCOMPASSED BY THE RECALL (CAMPAIGN #14V395000). I AM FAIRLY CERTAIN THAT MY VEN # IS OUTSIDE OF THE SCOPE OF THE RECALL SO I AM UNSURE OF HOW TO PROCEED.

I HAVE A 2010 LR2 HSE WITH APPROX. 59K. JUST TOOK IT TO MY REPAIR GUY WHO DIAGNOSED A PROBLEM WITH THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL. HE REFERRED ME TO THE LOCAL DEALER TO REPAIR. AFTER SPEAKING WITH THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT AND REALIZING THAT THEY KNEW EXACTLY WHAT THE PROBLEM IS WITH MY VEHICLE, I DID SOME RESEARCH AND SEE THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS MODEL OF CAR AND IS A VERY COSTLY REPAIR. I CAN'T GET MY VEHICLE INTO THE LR DEALER FOR MORE THAN 2 WEEKS - HOWEVER I AM WONDERING WHY, AFTER REVIEWING ALL OF THE COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL IN THIS MAKE/MODEL OF VEHICLE THERE HAS NOT BEEN A RECALL ON IT. I HAVE CONTACTED LR NA BUT DO NOT EXPECT REMEDIATION. I AM HOPING THE NHTSA WILL LOOK AT YET ANOTHER COMPLAINT AND PROVIDE CONSUMERS SOME ASSISTANCE IN THIS MATTER.
