Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Land rover discovery ii front drive shafts will always fail catastrophically between 60,000 to 70,000 miles. every land rover forum discusses this and the consensus is that land rover should have reported this to nhtsa as a safety issue. when they break the consequences include the shaft going into the passenger compartment or traveling at a high rate of speed into nearby cars. every discovery ii on the road has these front shafts fail and the owners of the vehicles have never been warned of this extreme danger. *jb
