Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: On 7/22/07 my 2004 land rover range rover without warning and traveling approx 20mph started making a very loud grinding noise and came to a halt. i put it in park and the noise was gone. then i shifted it into drive and again grinding noise and no movement. i shut it down and called for a tow (flatbed). at the repair shop (not dealer - the dealer said they have not heard of this issue) told me this is common with rr 2003-05 models. since it is a common problem and a clear manufacture defect, land rover or the ford motor group should be held liable and recall all affected models and repair them. i had to pay $2600.00 for a new differential and driveshaft. *tr
