I HAVE LOOKED AT BLOGS ON THE INTERNET. THIS SEEMS TO BE A RECURRING PROBLEM. THE DASHBOARD IS NOW SPLIT ON BOTH SIDES OF THE PASSENGER AIRBAG. IT CANNOT BE REPAIRED BECAUSE IT MIGHT AFFECT THE INTEGRITY OF THE AIRBAG. THIS FEELS UNSAFE TO ME SINCE I FEEL THAT THE AIR BAG COULD DEPLOY AT ANY TIME WITHOUT IMPACT.

THE SEATBELT WILL NOT ENGAGE AND LOCK WHICH RENDERS THE EQUIPMENT INOPERABLE AND A SAFETY LIABILITY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 LAND ROVER RANGE ROVER. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 15 MPH, THE DRIVER SIDE SUSPENSION SUDDENLY LOWERED AND THE "FAULTY SUSPENSION" SENSOR LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE PASSENGER SIDE SUSPENSION ALSO SUDDENLY LOWERED. WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE WITH THE LOWERED SUSPENSION, THE VEHICLE WOULD BOUNCE UP AND DOWN AND WAS VERY UNSTABLE. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 65,000.

THE FRONT RIGHT BRAKE LINE SPLIT AND ALL THE BREAK FLUID DRAINED OUT CAUSING THE BRAKES TO FAIL. THE CAR WAS TOWED TO A LAND ROVER DEALER. IN SPEAKING WITH THE DEALER, THERE IS NO SERVICE DIRECTIVE BY LR TO REPLACE THE BRAKELINES AT SOME POINT. I SPOKE TO LR TODAY AND THEY TOLD ME THAT AFTER WARRANTY ITS THE OWNERS PROBLEM TO MONITOR THE CAR. THE DEALER ALSO NOTED THAT ANOTHER LR MODEL, THE SPORT, THERE IS A MAINTENANCE DIRECTIVE TO REPLACE THE BRAKE HOSES AT 75,000 MILES. OBVIOUSLY, THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS ISSUE. SOMEONE COULD HAVE BEEN INJURED OR KILLED. THIS CAR HAS BEEN UNDER DEALER CARE SINCE IT WAS PURCHASED. BRAKE LINES SHOULD NOT FAIL THESE DAYS. *TR
