| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: There were no events leading up to this failure. i was driving in los angeles on the very busy 405 fwy during the labor day holiday weekend. i was going almost 70 mph when all of a sudden the car lost its power and began to make a metal to metal grinding noise. fortunately i was able to exit the fwy without causing an accident. once safe from traffic, i called my roadside assistance which dispatched a tow truck. the truck was towed to my mechanic who directed the problem to be the front differential. he notified me that this was a common occurrence on this vehicle and that this part was recalled. although my truck has 55k miles and the warranty has just expired, i called land rover usa and spoke with a customer care rep. named dennis @ ext. 2127 who said that there was nothing the land rover can do once the car is out of warranty. thanks range rover for caring sooo much about my safety!!!*jb |
