" TAKATA INFLATORS" CERTAIN SPORT UTILITY VEHICLES FAIL TO COMPLY WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARDS NO. 105, "HYDRAULIC AND ELECTRIC BRAKE SYSTEMS," AND NO. 135, "PASSENGER CAR BRAKE SYSTEMS." THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM (ABS) MODULATOR VALVE COVER RETAINING BOLTS CAN CRACK DUE TO STRESSES TRANSMITTED BY THE FLEXING VALVE COVERS. THE END RESULT WILL LEAVE CAUSE A WRECK FOR MY KIDS AND I. AND WITH A POSSIBLE LAW SUIT. THE CAR IS 17 YRS OLD. AND IS DANGEROUS FOR ME TOO DRIVE. I NEED TO TAKE EXTRA PRECAUTION BECAUSE I HAVE KIDS.

NHTSA complaint #10862762 — an unverified report by a vehicle owner.
WHILE ATTEMPTING TO PARK IN A PARKING LOT, MY WIFE APPLIED THE BRAKES, WHICH CAUSED OUR 2001 LAND ROVER DISCOVERY II TO SUDDENLY ACCELERATE. THE HARDER SHE PUSHED, THE MORE IT ACCELERATED. FORTUNATELY, SHE HIT A CONCRETE ENCASED LIGHT STANDARD BEFORE HITTING ANYONE OR ANOTHER VEHICLE. SHE WAS NOT HURT, ALTHOUGH VERY TRAUMATIZED, BUT THE VEHICLE HIT SO HARD, IT CRUMPLED THE WHOLE FRONT END, EFFECTIVELY TOTALING THE VEHICLE. I WAS DISMAYED TO SEE THE NUMBER OF LAND ROVER SUDDEN ACCELERATION INCIDENTS WHEN I GOOGLED IT. IT CERTAINLY APPEARS THERE IS A DESIGN FLAW WHICH HAS NOT BEEN SUCCESSFULLY RESOLVED THRU ANY RECALL EFFORTS BY LAND ROVER. I INTEND TO PURSUE LEGAL RECOURSE.

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
1. APPLIED THE BRAKES. 2. EVERY TIME I APPLY BRAKES AFTER VEHICLE HAS BEEN STARTED 3. DEALER CLAIMS THERE IS NOTHING WHICH CAN BE DONE... APPARENTLY ALL SUCH MODELS HAVE THIS ISSUE, WHICH GENERATES THE QUESTION AS TO WHY LAND ROVER HAS NOT BEEN MADE TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS, MUCH LIKE WHAT WOULD HAVE BEEN DONE HAD SUCH AN ISSUE BEEN INCURRED WITH A CHEVROLET, FORD OR TOYOTA? THIS ISSUE HAS ALREADY BEEN RECORDED AS SERVICE BULLETIN NHTSA ITEM NO. 10016118? THIS DEMONSTRATES THERE ARE RECOGNIZED PROBLEMS WITH THE ABS MODULATOR AND SYSTEM, RESULTING IN THE ABS/ EMERGENCY BRAKE / HILL DESCENT AND TRACTION CONTROL LAMPS ILLUMINATING ON THE DASH, WHICH MAY CAUSE THE ABS SYSTEM TO INCUR FAILURE WHEN NEEDED? THE NUMBER OF VEHICLE OWNERS INCURRING THIS PROBLEM INDICATES THERE IS A SERIOUS INHERENT DEFECT WITHIN THIS VEHICLE, WHICH I AND MANY OTHERS CANNOT UNDERSTAND WHY SUCH HAVE NOT BEEN RECALLED... THERE HAS APPARENTLY BEEN ANOTHER RECALL FOR AN ABS COMPONENT IN THIS VEHICLE (NHTSA RECALL CAMPAIGN ID NO. 04V005000) AND THIS PRELIMINARY RECALL SHOULD ALSO BE AMENDED TO INCLUDE THIS ISSUE WITH THE ABS SYSTEM? THIS ISSUE IS WELL DOCUMENTED AND WIDESPREAD AMONG THIS PARTICULAR MODEL AND THE NHTSA SHOULD FINALLY REQUIRE LAND ROVER TO CORRECT SUCH.
NHTSA complaint #10361405 — an unverified report by a vehicle owner.
FAILURE OF ANTILOCK SERVICE BRAKES. DEFECT FIRST IDENTIFIED IN MARCH 2005, WHEN HDC,ABS,TC AND RED BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON. VEHICLE TAKEN TO LAND ROVER OF WOOD BRIDGE WHERE THEY DIAGNOSED A LOOSE CONNECTOR. THESE LIGHTS CAME ON INTERMITTENTLY OVER THE LAST SEVERAL YEARS, BUT WENT OUT ON THEIR OWN USUALLY. IN LATE 2008 THE LIGHTS CAME BACK ON AND STAYED ON. CAR TAKEN BACK TO LR IN DEC. 17, 2008 WITH 38805 MILES. FAILURE OF THE ABS MODULATOR WAS DIAGNOSED, AND WARRANTY COVERAGE WAS DENIED, DESPITE WHAT WAS A FAILURE TO DIAGNOSE AND CORRECT THE PROBLEM IN 2005. REPAIR WAS TO BE $3000 PLUS LABOR. I SUBSEQUENTLY LEARNED THAT THERE HAVE BEEN RECALLS ISSUED FOR THIS PROBLEM AND IT APPEARS THE MY VIN NUMBER FALLS WITHIN THE RANGE. HOWEVER LR REFUSES TO COVER THIS REPAIR. I HAVE MADE 2 ATTEMPTS WITH CUSTOMER SERVICE TO HAVE LR REPAIR THIS DEFECT UNDER WARRANTY COVERAGE WITHOUT SUCCESS. I HAVE ALSO NOTED THAT THERE ARE OTHER SIMILAR COMPLAINTS FOR THE SAME PROBLEM AND LR CONTINUES TO AVOID THEIR RESPONSIBILITY TO HAVE SAFE VEHICLES ON THE ROAD.
NHTSA complaint #10328889 — an unverified report by a vehicle owner.
FAILURE OF ABS SYSTEM WHILE DRIVING. 3-4 TIMES PER WEEK WHILE CITY DRIVING THE ABS/HILL DESCENT/TRACTION CONTROL WARNING LIGHTS AND CHIMES COME ON. THE SYSTEM TYPICALLY RESETS AFTER STOPPING AND RE-STARTING THE VEHICLE (SOMETIMES REQUIRES NEUTRAL START TO RESET). THIS IS SIMILAR TO A FAILURE I HAD IN A 1999 MODEL THAT REQUIRED OVER $3,000 IN REPAIRS TO REPLACE A FAILED ABS PUMP. LAND ROVER INSISTS THAT THERE IS NO FAULT CODE LEFT ON THE OBC AFTER THESE EVENTS, BUT ALL INDICATIONS POINT TO A SYSTEMIC AND ON-GOING PROBLEM WITH THE SERIES OF ABS PUMPS USED OVER THE YEARS. THIS SEEMS TO BE AN IMPORTANT SAFETY SYSTEM IN THE VEHICLE, BUT LR SEEMS TO HAVE NO INTEREST IN ADDRESSING IT.
NHTSA complaint #10317160 — an unverified report by a vehicle owner.
I HAVE A 1999 DISCOVERY II. THE ABS WARNING LIGHTS ON THE DASH HAVE ALWAYS BEEN ON; NICKNAMED AS YOU MIGHT ALREADY KNOW "THE THREE AMIGOS" BY THOUSANDS OF LAND ROVER OWNERS. THE THREE AMIGOS REFERS TO THE THREE WARNING LIGHTS ON DASHBOARD: ABS, TC-TRACTION CONTROL, DOWNHILL DESCENT. I WAS TOLD BY THE LOCAL DEALER IN ENCINO, CA IT WAS THE ABS MODULATOR. THEY DIDN'T PUT IT ON PAPER, BUT THEY SAID VERBALLY IF YOU DON'T GET THE "ABS MODULATOR REPLACED, YOU WILL HAVE BRAKE FAILURE. YET, LAND ROVER WON'T RECALL IT. TENS OF THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT THE "THREE AMIGOS", CAUSED BY THE ABS MODULATOR. THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED CASE. NEXT TIME YOU DRIVE BY A 1999 LAND ROVER, LOOK ON THEIR DASHBOARD, AND YOU WILL SEE 3 WARNING LIGHTS ON. LAND ROVER, NEEDS TO RECALL THIS, AND REPLACE THE ABS MODULATOR.
NHTSA complaint #10312183 — an unverified report by a vehicle owner.
THE DEFECT IS ALREADY RECORDED AS SERVICE BULLETIN NHTSA ITEM NO. 10016118. IN SHORT, THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THE SHUTTLE VALVES IN THE ABS SYSTEM, WHICH RESULT IN THE ABS/TRACTION CONTROL/HILL DESCENT WARNING LAMP ILLUMINATION IN THE DASH, AND MORE IMPORTANTLY MAY PREVENT THE ABS FROM ACTIVATING AS NEEDED. DUE TO THE OVERWHELMING NUMBER OF OWNERS EXPERIENCING THIS SAME SPECIFIC ISSUE, A RECALL IS VERY APPROPRIATE. THERE ARE INHERENT PROBLEMS WITH THE ABS IN THESE CARS, AS IS PRELIMINARY EVIDENT IN THE FACT THAT THERE HAS ALREADY BEEN A RECALL FOR ANOTHER COMPONENT IN THE ABS (NHTSA RECALL CAMPAIGN ID NO. 04V005000). THIS ISSUE IS VERY WIDESPREAD AMONG OWNER'S OF THIS AUTOMOBILE. THE SAFETY SYSTEM OF THE AUTOMOBILE IS COMPROMISED AND THE NHTSA SHOULD REQUIRE LAND ROVER TO FINALLY ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM.
NHTSA complaint #10281181 — an unverified report by a vehicle owner.
I RECENTLY BOUGHT A LAND ROVER DISCOVERY 2 (1999 MODEL - 75,000 MI.). MY ABS BRAKE LIGHT, HILL DECENT LIGHT, AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHTS KEEP COMING ON INTERMITTENTLY. I HAVE READ HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS ON THIS ISSUE ONLINE. APPARENTLY THE 3 ITEMS (ABS, HILL DECENT, AND TRACTION CONTROL) ARE ALL INTERCONNECTED ITEMS - GENERALLY CALLED THREE AMIGO PROBLEM ONLINE. THE MAJOR CONCERN IS THAT THE ABS DOES NOT WORK AND THE BRAKE PEDAL WILL SOMETIMES GO TO THE FLOOR, BRAKES SHUTTER AND ON OCCASION BARELY ENGAGE AT ALL. I HAVE ALMOST WRECKED THE VEHICLE ON A COUPLE OF OCCASIONS. I HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO DRIVE MY CAR. I CAN'T AFFORD THE $3500 THE LAND ROVER DEALER WANTS TO FIX THIS DESIGN FLAW. I CAN'T GET RID OF THE VEHICLE BECAUSE NOBODY WANTS TO BUY OR TRADE FOR A CAR WITH ALL THESE WARNING LIGHTS ON. AGAIN, IF YOU LOOK ONLINE YOU WILL SEE THAT THIS IS A LAND ROVER DESIGN FLAW AND THAT ALMOST EVERY ONE OF THESES VEHICLES IS AFFECTED. LAND ROVER CLAIMS IT IS FROM ABUSE OR LACK OF MAINTAINING THIS "WEARABLE ITEM." IF THIS WAS REALLY THE CASE, WOULD THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE, WITH MILEAGE RANGING FROM NEW TO HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF MILES, HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM?

MY 2003 LAND ROVER DISCOVERY SUFFERS FROM A WELL KNOWN PROBLEM WHICH CAUSES THE ABS AND TRACTION CONTROL TO FAIL. HUNDREDS OF DISCOVERIES SUFFER FROM THIS WELL KNOWN PROBLEM WITH NO FIX OR RECALL FROM LAND ROVER. THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN COINED "THREE AMIGOS" AND CAN BE EASILY FOUND BY SEARCHING ONLINE. I AM DEPENDENT ON MY ABS AND CONSTANTLY AND CONSISTENTLY AM PUTTING MY FAMILY AT RISK WITH THIS CONSTANT AND CONSISTENT FAILURE. MY DISCOVERY RECENTLY SLID OFF OF THE ROAD DUE TO LOSS OF ABS DURING A RAIN STORM. I HAD 2 CHILDREN IN THE VEHICLE WITH ME.
NHTSA complaint #10269009 — an unverified report by a vehicle owner.
THE PROBLEM IS WITH OUR 2003 LAND ROVER DISCOVERY. THE PROBLEM OCCURS ALMOST DAILY. THE TRACTION CONTROL, ABS, AND HILL DESCENT (REFERRED TO AS THE THREE AMIGOS). I FEEL THIS IS VERY MUCH A SAFETY RECALL DUE TO LACK OF BRAKING AND TRACTION WHEN THESE LIGHTS ALL ARE ON. WHEN THESE LIGHTS ARE ON THE TRACTION CONTROL DEVICE DOES NOT FUNCTION. DUE TO LIVING IN ILLINOIS WEATHER THIS CREATES PROBLEMS DRIVING ON SNOW AND ICE COVERED ROADS-IN WHICH IN OUR AREA WE SEEM TO BE HAVING A SHORTAGE ON SALT FOR THE ROADS. THE FULL REASONING AS TO WHY I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE WAS TO NOT HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT ROAD CONDITIONS (I DIDN'T THINK PROBLEMS WITH SYSTEM FAILURES WOULD OCCUR WITH THE COST OF THESE VEHICLES) I FEEL THIS IS A RECALL PROBLEM. PUTTING MANY PEOPLES LIVES IN JEOPARDY WHO ACTUALLY FEEL THEY ARE SAFE WHILE DRIVING UNTIL THEY EXPERIENCE THE FAILURE OF THIS SYSTEM IN THESE VEHICLES WHILE ON A WEEKEND TRIP OR FOUR WHEELING AS WHICH THEY WERE DESIGNED TO DO. THIS IS NOT A PROBLEM THAT I CREATED ON MY VEHICLE THIS IS A PROBLEM THAT THE COMPANY CREATED WHEN THEY PRODUCED THESE VEHICLES AND SOLD THEM. I DO NOT FEEL IT IS MY RESPONSIBILITY TO CORRECT THEIR FLAW THAT THEY MADE IN THE PRODUCTION OF THESE VEHICLES WITH DEFECTIVE SYSTEM ALLOWING FAILURE DURING DRIVING CONDITIONS IF A SYSTEM FAILS THAT IS DEFECTIVE. AS TO ANY DEATHS RELATED IN THIS INCIDENT -THE ANSWER WOULD BE AS OF THIS TIME NO AND I PRAY THAT DOES NOT HAPPEN, AND I DO NOT BELIEVE THE POLICE WHERE CALLED BECAUSE I'M QUITE SURE THEY COULD CARE LESS IF THE TRACTION CONTROL OR MY ABS ARE FUNCTIONING PROPERLY AND THANK GOD THAT I DID NOT HAVE ANY PROPERTY DESTRUCTION OR CRASHES YET.

LAND ROVER DISCOVERY II ABS FAULT. I CANNOT DRIVE MORE THAN 5 MILES WITHOUT THE ABS, HILL DESCENT CONTROL, AND TRANSFER CASE WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATING. IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT THIS FAULT IS A RESULT OF AN ABS SYSTEM FAILURE. AFTER FAULT HAS BEEN RECEIVED BY THE CARS COMPUTER, ABS IS NON-RESPONSIVE. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AFFECTING MANY OF THE LAND ROVER DISCOVERY VEHICLES ON THE ROAD. I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR INTO MY MECHANIC WHO HAS BEEN UNABLE TO PINPOINT THE PROBLEM. APPARENTLY MORE THAN ONE ELEMENT TO THE ABS SYSTEM IS DEFECTIVE. THIS OCCURS EVERYDAY AND I'M STILL WORKING ON A RESOLUTION. I CANNOT SELL THE CAR IN GOOD CONSCIOUS WITH SUCH A HAZARDOUS PROBLEM.
NHTSA complaint #10245333 — an unverified report by a vehicle owner.
I AM THE OWNER OF A 2004 LANDROVER DISCOVERY WITH APPROXIMATELY 60,000 MILES ON IT. I HAVE RECENTLY HAD INTERMITTENT FAILURE OF THE ABS MODULATOR ON MY VEHICLE. THE ABS MODULATOR CONTROLS THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM, THE HILL DESCENT CONTROL AND THE TRACTION CONTROL. WHEN THE ABS MODULATOR FAILS, THOSE SYSTEMS ARE NO LONGER AVAILABLE. WHILE TURNING OFF THE VEHICLE AND RESTARTING THE VEHICLE WILL RESET THE SYSTEM, THE ABS MODULATOR FREQUENTLY OCCURS WHILE THE VEHICLE IS MOVING. THERE IS NO WARNING FOR THE FAILURE, NOR IS THERE ANY PATTERN FOR THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS IN THE DEALER SERVICE CENTER FOR THIS PROBLEM LAST WEEK AND THIS WEEK AND THE DIAGNOSIS WAS FOR A REPLACEMENT OF THE ABS MODULATOR. THE ABS MODULATOR IS A $2,800.00 PART, WITH THE TOTAL COST, INCLUDING LABOR RESULTING IN A BILL FOR $3,500.00 TO REPAIR THIS SAFETY ISSUE. MY FAMILY BUDGET DOES NOT PRESENTLY ALLOW ME TO MAKE THIS REPAIR. IN DEALING THE SERVICE CENTER, I WAS INFORMED THAT LANDROVER IS AWARE OF THE FAILURE OF THE ABS MODULATOR AND HAS ISSUED AT LEAST 2 TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETINS FOR A LESS COSTLY REPAIR OF SAME. HOWEVER, I WAS INFORMED THAT THE SUCCESS RATE FOR THOSE LESS COSTLY REPAIRS WAS EXCEEDINGLY LOW. IN CONDUCTING ADDITIONAL RESEARCH ON THIS TOPIC, I FOUND THAT THIS ISSUE AFFECTS ALL LANDROVER DISCOVERY'S PRODUCED FROM 1999-2004, SOME LANDROVER RANGE ROVER MODELS AND SOME OTHER LANDROVER MODELS. LANDROVER REFUSES TO ADDRESS THE ISSUE AND REFUSES TO MAKE THE NECESSARY REPAIRS TO MAKE THIS IMPORTANT SAFETY COMPONENTS OF THEIR VEHICLES RELIABLE. IT WOULD SEEM THE NHTSA IS IDEALLY SUITED TO MAKE THIS COMPANY ADDRESS SAFETY DEFECTS IN THEIR VEHICLES. PLEASE CONTACT ME SHOULD ADDITIONAL INFORMATION BE NECESSARY.

I PURCHASED MY 2000 LAND ROVER DISCOVERY LAST FEBRUARY AND A FEW DAYS AFTER PURCHASE THE TRACTION CONTROL, ANTI LOCK LIGHT, ABS AND DOWN HILL LIGHT CAME ON. WENT TO DEALERSHIP AND THEY WANT ME TO REPLACE THE ABS MODULE OVER $3000 PARTS AND LABOR. THIS IS JUST CRAZY AS MANY OTHERS HAVE THE SAME ISSUE. PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF I HAVE A LEGITIMATE COMPLAINT AS I FOUND MANY MORE WITH THIS ISSUE AT SITES SUCH AS HTTP://LANDROVERFORUMS.COM/ AND OTHERS. I DID REPLACE THIS PART WITH A USED ONE BUT SAME THING. THANK YOU IN ADVANCE!

THE ANTILOCK BRAKES, HILL DESCENT AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHTS ILLUMINATE ON MY LAND ROVER DISCOVERY ON A REGULAR BASIS. AFTER RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET THIS IS DUE TO THE ABS MODULATOR, AND IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE. HOWEVER, NO RECALL HAS BEEN ISSUED AS YET WITH THIS PART.
