ONGOING PROBLEM WITH THE AUTOMATIC STABILITY CONTROL SUSPENSION WHICH FAILED TO OPERATE WHILE DRIVING 50 MPH.*JB PLEASE PROVIDE FURTHER INFORMATION.

CONSUMER TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP ON DECEMBER 2003 FOR REGULAR MAINTENANCE, AND THE TECHNICIAN DETERMINED THAT THE TRANSFER CASE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. *AK THE CONSUMER WAS TOLD THE PART WAS UNAVAILABLE. *JB

I PURCHASED A 2000 RANGE ROVER FROM BEAR VALLEY ROVERS IN ATLANTA AND THE VEHICLE WAS/IS IN PRISTINE SHAPE . WHEN I PURCHASED IT, IT HAD 43,000 MILES WITH 5,000 MILES REMAINING ON THE WARRANTY. AT 53,000 THE TRANSMISSION WENT BAD AND HAD TO BE REPLACED. THIS IS NOT NORMAL THAT A TRANSMISSION WOULD ONLY LAST 53,000 MILES AND THE VEHICLE HAS NEVER BEEN OFF-ROAD A DAY IN ITS LIFE. *JB

1. WHENEVER I DRIVE OVER SPEED BUMPS OR POT HOLES, IT FEELS LIKE THE BODY OF THE VEHICLE VIBRATES. 2. WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION, I HEAR A LOT OF RATTLING NOISE.

WHILE DRIVING, THE FRONT SUSPENSION DROP OUT. DEALER HAS INSPECTED THE VEHICLE SIX TIMES AND COULD NOT DUPLICATE OR CORRECT THE PROBLEM.*JB

CONSUMER CALLED COMPLAINING ABOUT HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE VEHICLE STALLING. ALSO STATES THAT WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE ALL THE PANEL LIGHTS TURN ON AND THE VEHICLE STOPS. DEALER WAS CONTACTED AND STATED THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED AND THERE WHEN THE PROBLEM STARTED WITH THE PANEL LIGHTS AND THE VEHICLE STALLING. ALSO STATED THAT THE VEHICLE TRANSMISSION WILL BE REPLACED FOR THE SECOND TIME BUT CONSUMER DOES NOT AGREE THAT IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE TRANSMISSION. MR

AFTER APPROXIMATELY ONE MONTH OF OPERATION, I NOTICED THAT THE DRIVER'S SIDE REAR VIEW MIRROR VIBRATED CONSTANTLY MAKING IT VERY DIFFICULT TO VIEW TRAFFIC TO THE LEFT SIDE OF THE DRIVER. THE SENSATION IS SIMILAR TO FOCUSING ON AN OBJECT WHILE BEING TOSSED TO AND FRO. I HAVE MADE MANY REQUESTS TO THE DEALER TO HAVE THE SITUATION REPAIRED TO NO AVAIL. I AM NOW IN THE PROCESS OF FILING A COMPLAINT THROUGH THE STATES LEMON LAW STATUTE. SEVERAL CUSTOMERS HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT THE MIRROR AND NONE HAVE RECEIVED ANY ASSISTANCE. I HAVE RECEIVED CONFLICTING RESPONSES FROM TECHNICAL AND ENGINEERING PROFESSIONALS ASSOCIATED WITH LAND ROVER. THESE RESPONSES INCLUDE MECHANICAL DEFECTS, JUST MY PERSONAL PROBLEM, AND ENGINEERING DESIGN DEFECT.*AK
