WHILE DRIVING ON THE NEW JERSEY TURNPIKE TRAVELING AT A SPEED OF APPROXIMATELY 65-70 MILES AN HOUR MY TRUCK SUDDENLY MADE A LOUD NOISE AND IT FELT LIKE THE BRAKES LOCKED UP AND MELT GRINDING SOUNDS. I HAD IT TOWED TO A REPAIR SHOP AND WAS TOLD IT WAS FRONT DIFFERENTIAL FAILURE.

POWER TRAIN
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.

POWER TRAIN:DRIVELINE
MY 2003 RANGE ROVER HSE SUFFERED A FAILURE OF THE FRONT DIFFERENTIAL AND DRIVESHAFT. A COMMON AND KNOWN ISSUE TO LAND ROVER. I WAS TRAVELING DOWN THE INTERSTATE AND SUDDENLY LOST ALL FORWARD MOMENTUM. I HAD TO IMMEDIATELY FIND A SAFE PLACE TO PULL OVER AND PUT ON THE HAND BRAKE TO KEEP THE VEHICLE FROM ROLLING. IT WOULD NOT MOVE. IT WAS TOWED TO A REPAIR FACILITY AND THE BROKEN PARTS WERE REPLACED. IT WAS FIXED WITH NEW PARTS, BUT THEY ARE THE SAME DESIGN OF THE ONES THAT FAILED. I WAS TOLD THERE IS NOT PERMANENT FIX PROVIDED BY LAND ROVER AND THIS WILL HAPPEN AGAIN.

POWER TRAIN:DRIVELINE
DRIVING ON CITY STREETS, ABOUT TO ENTER THE FREEWAY, THE VEHICLE LOST POWER, MAKING AWFUL MECHANICAL NOISES. THE ENGINE WAS RUNNING BUT PRESSING ON THE ACCELERATOR RESULTED IN METALLIC CRUNCHING NOISE AND NO MOVEMENT. I WAS STRANDED, THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED SOME 35 TO THE PURCHASING DEALER. I WAS INFORMED THAT THE FRONT DIFFERENTIAL / DRIVE SHAFT FAILED AND WILL BE REPLACED. THIS IS THE SECOND SUCH FAILURE. THE FIRST OCCURRED IN OCTOBER 2006. LUCKILY BOTH TIMES WERE AT SLOW SPEEDS, CLOSE TO HOME, AND DURING THE DAY. IF THIS CATASTROPHIC FAILURE OF THE FRONT DIFFERENTIAL / DRIVE SHAFT WERE TO OCCUR AT SPEED?I HATE TO THINK OF THE ACCIDENT THAT MIGHT HAPPEN, THE DAMAGE AND INJURIES THAT MIGHT OCCUR. THIS IS A SERIOUS DESIGN FLAW WHICH THE COMPANY NEEDS TO ADDRESS WITH A NEW DESIGN TO REPLACE THE DEFECT AND DANGEROUS DESIGN.

WHILE DRIVING HOME FROM WORK LATE AT NIGHT MY 2003 RANGE ROVER STOP AND THE INDICATOR DIRECTED ME TO PUT MY CAR IN NEUTRAL. WHEN I STEPPED ON THE GAS I HEARD A LOUD GRINDING SOUND. I WAS STRANDED AT 1AM ON A WEEK NIGHT WAITING FOR A TOW TRUCK RANGE ROVER SHOULD RECALL THIS PROBLEM WITH THE DIFFERENTIAL ESPECIALLY IF SO MANY PEOPLE ARE HAVING THIS ISSUE AND WE PAID OVER 80,000 FOR OUR CARS.

POWER TRAIN:DRIVELINE:DIFFERENTIAL UNIT
WHILE DRIVING MY 2003 RANGE ROVER ON THE FREEWAY, THE FRONT DIFFERENTIAL SUDDENLY FAILED WITH NO ADVANCE WARNING. LOST ALL PROPULSION. WAS BARELY ABLE TO GLIDE ONTO THE SHOULDER. THIS IS A KNOWN, SIGNIFICANT SAFETY DEFECT THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN ADDRESSED ALREADY. ONLY HAVE 50,000 MILES ON THE CAR. IT IS WELL MAINTAINED. REQUIRES TOTAL REPLACEMENT OF THE FRONT DIFFERENTIAL BY THE DEALER. THERE IS A 2 WEEK DELAY IN GETTING REPLACEMENT PARTS; THIS IS A WELL KNOWN, TOO-COMMONLY-OCCURRING DEFECT. RANGE ROVER SHOULD BE PROTECTING THEIR REPUTATION BETTER.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY @ ABOUT 65 MPH A LOUD SCREECHING NOISE JUST CAME OUT OF NO WHERE THEN THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE WHEN PUTTING YOUR FOOT ON THE GAS & WHEN I TRIED TO ACCELERATE IT WAS ACCOMPANIED BY MORE LOUD GRINDING NOISES! WE WERE ALMOST KILLED ON THE FREEWAY BECAUSE WE WERE IN THE FAST LANE & THE CAR LOCKED UP!!! I HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED HOME @ A COST OF $300. THERE WAS AN INVESTIGATION OPENED FOR HER PROBLEM ACTION # EA0712 FOR COMPONENT POWER TRAIN:DRIVELINE:DIFFERENTIAL UNIT, POWER TRAIN:AXLE ASSEMBLY:AXLE SHAFT, POWER TRAIN:DRIVELINE:DRIVESHAFT. PRIOR TO THIS I HAVE HAD NO PROBLEMS OR ANY SIGNS OF ANY PROBLEM WITH MY 2004 RANGE ROVER HSE. I CALLED RANGE ROVER TODAY (MONDAY 11/26/07) @ 1-800-637-6837 AND WAS RUDELY ADVISED BY THE REP. THAT SHE WASN'T A AUTO MECHANIC & THAT I WOULD HAVE TO DEAL WITH IT WITH MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP. I CAN'T IMAGINE THIS JUST BEING A NORMAL ROUTINE PROBLEM IN OWNING THIS CAR & WOULD LIKE A ANSWER. I LOVE MY ROVER BUT CAN'T AFFORD TO HAVE THIS HAPPEN!
