Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: After owning my brand new 2003 land rover discovery for about 5 weeks, i was driving on a highway when the oil light came on. within seconds the vehicle began making and odd noise. i pulled off to the side of the highway and by the time i got out of the vehicle, it was on fire. the entire front end of the vehicle burnt off. land rover has refused to take responsibility for their defective vehicle and will do nothing about this situation. in addition, everyone that i have dealt with at land rover has been rude, inconsiderate and evasive. they have also refused to pay for the personal items that were in the vehicle and damaged because of the fire. *jb
