I WAS DRIVING 75 MPH ON HIGHWAY ON JUNE 1ST, 2016 WHEN A LOUD GRINDING NOICE OCCURRED IN THE FRONT END FOLLOWED BY LOSS OF DRIVE TRAIN. CAR ALMOST LOST CONTROL BUT WAS ABLE TO COAST TO SIDE OF ROAD. THE CAR WOULD STILL ROLL WHILE IN PARK AND FINALLY HAD TO PUT EMERGENCY BRAKE TO STOP IT. A PUT IN NEUTRAL WARNING CAME ON IN DASH AND I SHUT THE MOTOR OFF AND LEFT ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THIS WAS A SCARY AND DANGEROUS EXPERIENCE AND I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHAT MY OPTIONS ARE AND IF THIS IS A RECALL WHAT CAN I DO AFTER IT HAS FAILED.

THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER ON MY CAR HAS A KNOWN DEFECT WHICH WAS COVERED UNDER LAND ROVER EXTENDED WARRANT PROGRAM Q058. ON MY SPECIFIC CAR, THE WARRANTY PERIOD EXPIRED ON MAY 11, 2015. AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC DIAGNOSED A BAD CATALYTIC CONVERTER ON MY CAR IN FEB 04, 2014 AND TOLD ME ABOUT THE EXTENDED WARRANT PROGRAM COVERING THIS KNOWN ISSUE. I MADE SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT WITH LAND ROVER MANHATTAN DEALERSHIP BUT WASN'T SUCCESSFUL IN GETTING AN APPOINTMENT UNTIL AFTER THE WARRANTY EXPIRED. LAND ROVER IS REFUSING TO COVER THE REPAIR AND I HAVE BEEN TOSSED BACK AND FORTH BETWEEN THE LAND ROVER DEALER AND CORPORATE OFFICE. I THINK LAND ROVER WAITED UNTIL AFTER THE WARRANTY…

THIS IS WHAT I SENT TO LAND ROVER USA LAST NIGHT. HAVE NOT HEARD FROM THEM YET. "MY 2004 RANGE ROVER SUDDENLY ACCELERATED AT A VERY HIGH SPEED FOR A FEW SECONDS WHILE I WAS PARKING CAUSING DAMAGE TO THE CAR AND PROPERTY. ALSO NONE OF THE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED EVEN THOUGH THE IMPACT WAS SEVERE. I WOULD LIKE TO BE INFORMED OF ANY SUCH ISSUES AND WHAT STEPS WERE TAKEN TO CORRECT THEM. I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO KNOW WHAT RECOURSE I HAVE. I WILL BE CONTACTING THE NHTSA TO GET THEIR INPUT." AFTER THE SHOCK WORE OFF I HAD A CLOSER EXAMINATION OF THE INCIDENT AND I AM NOW POSITIVE THAT THE ACCELERATION WAS NOT BY ME. THERE IS EVIDENCE(SKID MARKS) TO SHOW THAT BRAKE WAS APPLIED FROM THE VERY BEGINNING. I…

LESS THAN A YEAR AGO, ON MY 04 RR, I RECEIVED AN MESSAGE ACROSS MY ODOMETER SAYING "AIR SUSPENSION INACTIVE" TOOK IT TO THE DEALER ON 2-1-2008, THE DEALER CHARGED ME $50 TO "CLEARED THE CODES" AND THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING ELSE WRONG WITH IT. FAST-FORWARD TO 1-15-2009, I RECEIVED THE SAME MESSAGE AGAIN, TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP, THIS TIME THEY MENTION I NEEDED A NEW COMPRESSOR, WHICH WILL COST ME $1550. VERY INTERESTING, WHEN I TOOK IT IN WHILE MY VEHICLE WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY THEY COULDN'T IDENTIFIED THE ISSUE FROM SEVERAL VISIT I HAVE MADE IN THE PAST CONCERNING THIS ISSUE, NOW MY VEHICLE IS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY, THIS MIRACLE FIX JUST POP UP. VERY DISAPPOINTED WITH THIS…

NO PROBLEMS OBSERVED WITH THE CAR. SUDDENLY THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME LOOSE AND FELL DOWN TO A POSITION WHERE THE BOTTOM OF THE WHEEL WAS STUCK BETWEEN MY LEGS. THE TILT MECHANISM FAILED WHILE THE CAR WAS THE MOVING AND THE WHEEL, ALTHOUGH ATTACHED TO THE CAR, WAS FORCED DOWN ONTO MY LEGS. STEERING WHEEL WOULD NO LONGER STAY IN A DRIVABLE POSITION WITHOUT $1300 REPLACEMENT OF STEERING COLUMN. THIS WAS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH RANGE ROVERS (IT WAS EASY TO FIND MANY OTHERS ONLINE WITH A SIMILAR PROBLEM) AND LAND ROVER HAD A RECALL ON ANOTHER PART A YEAR AGO, WHICH THEY DENY HAD ANY IMPACT ON THIS. SPOKE TO DEALER AND LAND ROVER NORTH AMERICA, NO COMPENSATION WAS OBTAINED, THEY WERE NOT…

DRIVING OVER 60MPH WHEN MESSAGE ALERT SAYING TRANS FAILSAFE PROG APPEARS. A LOUD GRINDING NOISE IS HEARD AND THE MESSAGE ALERT SYSTEM INFORMS ME TO PUT THE VEHICLE IN NEUTRAL. WHICH I IMMEDIATELY DO. I HAD TO COAST IN HEAVY TRAFFIC TO THE EMERGENCY LANE AND WAIT FOR TOW TRUCK. ANY ATTEMPT TO PUT THE VEHICLE IN ANYTHING OTHER THAN NEUTRAL RESULTS IN LOUD GRINDING NOISE. IT IS AN 2004 RANGE ROVER WITH APPROX 73000 MILES. WHEN TOW TRUCK ARRIVED WE BOTH NOTICED A LARGE STAIN UNDER THE CAR AS SOME TYPE OF FLUID HAD BEGAN TO LEAK AS I WAITED FOR THE TOW TRUCKS ARRIVAL. *TR
