WE PURCHASED A USED 2008 LAND ROVER ON 3/12/12 FROM THE DEALERSHIP; ABOUT 1 MONTH LATER, THE TIRE LIGHT INDICATOR WENT ON; I TOOK IT FOR AIR AND IT WAS FINE; A FEW DAYS LATER IT CONTINUED AND THE MORE I PUT AIR, THE MORE I HAD TO GO BACK TO TIRE SHOP. I FINALLY ASKED THE MECHANIC TO CHECK ALL THE TIRES TO MAKE SURE I DIDN'T HAVE A PROBLEM AND HE STATED THAT I HAD A FEW PROBLEMS; THE FIRST BEING THAT THE CAR HAD NOT BEEN ALIGNED IN A WHILE AND SO THE TIRES ON THE INSIDE WERE COMPLETELY WORN OUT TO THE METAL AND I WAS LOOKING AT A VERY SERIOUS AND DANGEROUS TIRE BLOW OUT ON THE ROAD; HE ASKED ME HOW LONG I HAD THE CAR AND I SAID 2 MONTHS AND I PUT 2000 MILES ON THE CAR BUT HE STATED THAT THE DAMAGE ON ALL OF THE TIRES COULD NOT HAVE BEEN DONE IN 2000MILES AND THE CAR WAS SOLD LIKE THAT. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP ON 5/17/12 AS SOON AS I LEFT THE TIRE PLACE AND LEFT A VM ASKING A MANAGER TO CALL ME BACK, I SENT A FAX ON 5/19/12 STATING MY ISSUE AND I CALLED AGAIN ON 5/20 AND LEFT VOICEMAIL. DUE TO THE SEVERITY OF THE DANGEROUSNESS OF THE TIRES, I HAD THEM ALL REPLACED ON 5/21/12. I AM STILL WAITING FOR THE MANAGER OR THE OWNER OF THE DEALERSHIP TO CALL ME. *JS

I HAVE A 2008 LAND ROVER RANGE ROVER SPORT SC WITH CONTINENTAL SPORTCONTACT TIRES 275/40ZR. I HAVE HAD THREE SIDEWALL FAILURES IN THREE MONTHS.

7:30 AM ON LIE (495) WESTBOUND FROM EXIT 49 TO 41. ALL THREE LANES ARE BUMPER TO BUMPER EXCEPT THE HOV LANE WHICH LOOKS LIKE A GHOST LANE. MY WIFE AND I SEE THIS PICTURE EVERYDAY AS WE RIDE TOGETHER TO WORK. PAINFULLY, EVENTHOUGH WE'RE ENTITLED TO USE THIS LANE WE CANNOT ENTER FOR A 5-MILE STRETCH DUE TO DOUBLE SOLID LINE BARRIER. WHAT IS THE RATIONALE OF SUCH A BARRIER? IT CAUSES MORE TRAFFIC AS IT PREVENTS THE HIGH OCCUPANCY VEHICLES TO ENTER HOV LANE AND ADDS MORE CARS TO BUMPER TO BUMPER TRAFFIC. IT DISCOURAGES PEOPLE FROM CAR POOLING SINCE REDUCES THE EFFECTIVENESS OF THE HOV LANES. I THINK THE HOV LANE SHOULD BE FREE TO ENTER FROM ANYWHERE FOR HOV'S (AS IN MOST STATES, SUCH AS FLORIDA). IF THE BARRIER IS A "MUST HAVE" FOR LIE, AT LEAST THE ENTRANCES SHOULD BE EVERY A MILE OR TWO ( NOT FIVE MILES OR EIGHT EXITS APART). I WOULD GREATLY APPRECIATE A RESPONSE. I WILL EVEN APPRECIATE MORE IF YOU COULD SOLUTION TO THIS PROBLEM. THANK YOU. DR. ALAN SEZER *TR
