Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Sudden failure of the transfer case causing instant loss of power. this is a known design flaw with 2003, 2004 and 2005 range rovers. this can be a very dangerous flaw when pulling out into traffic or crossing and intersection. i don't believe they have re-engineered a permanent fix for this issue they are just putting the old faulty design back on when one fails. this is a very dangerous problem that someone has to make them redesign a permanent fix for. *tr
