| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: No events leading up to the complete failure of the front differential on a 2003 range rover. i thought this was very unusually for a vehicle with only 23k miles so i did a quick search on the internet to find this a known issue as a result of a bad design on 2003+ newer range rover's so the problem will happen again. the dealership said it was $2,700 repair if off warranty. land rover should have to do a redesign of this problem instead of screwing the owners who will have to pay for the repair of this issue in the future. it also sounds like this is a major safety issue if the problem happens at high speeds. it left me stranded in the middle of the road during a rain downpour. *jb |
