Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I was driving my 2003 land rover range rover hse approx. 45 mph and the car immediately became inoperable in the middle of the street. dealership says the front differential has worn down and it is not due to my driving habits or anything related to me. this is definitely a defect and all forums say this vehicle has this problem very frequently. this is a very serious and potentially deadly defect in design and function. must be recalled. i could've easily been in a major accident. no throttle control is possible when this problem occurs, and the car will not park while in "p." therefore, if i was on an incline, vehicle would have rolled with nothing that could be done. a major issue. thank you for this service to the public. something must be done to protect consumers from the lack of responsibility and accountability from these major auto corporations. *jb
