Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I have a range rover. i was in new jersey on the approach highway to the lincoln tunnel traveling around 50 miles per hour when i noticed a bumping noise and rhythmic pulling sensation as if i had a flat tire or had picked up something that was dragging against the wheel. then the car slowed and an "engage neutral" signal flashed on the display. i managed to pull onto the shoulder and when i tried to engage drive again i got a whining noise and the car tried to do a nose dive. because of the volume and speed of the traffic, i was lucky not to cause, and be in the middle of, a major pile-up. the car was towed to the manhattan land rover dealership. i was told the next day that they were replacing the differential and the drive shaft. there was no charge because the car was still under warranty. *jb
