| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Today, i was driving my 2005 land rover lr3 (which i have owned for a week) down a major highway when all of a sudden it completely locked up and slammed to a stop in the middle of the highway. the engine was still running, but the car just made a grinding noise in every gear and was completely immobile. the police could not budge it, even in neutral. the tow truck driver had to pull it up onto the truck as it would not even roll. when the land rover dealer took a look at it, they said that the front differential was completely gone/ruined and that was "unusual". a new front differential is now on order, and they expect that will take 3 weeks. we feel lucky to be alive and not to have caused a serious accident. *jb |
