Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Last sunday, i was traveling in the 2005 range roveron an interstate 100 miles from my home. the transission suddenly failed & i had to be towed to the dealer near my home. on monday i sopke to the dealership that told me the problem without even looking at the car there was a defect in the original design of the limited slip differential, and they were ordering the part and renting me a car. on further discussion the service department told me that they have a reworked replacedment, and it should not happen again. they also told me that they were getting at least one car a week with the same problem. *ak if this is something that they know about, why are they only fixing it after the fact. there could be serious injury to other drivers who suddenly have this power loss. i was lucky.
