Brought my car for an urgent airbag safety recall matter solicited by land rover and the nhtsa described as a matter that "can cause serious injury or death". Scheduled appointment two weeks in advance and was assured orally and in writing that "if required (the business will) provide a loaner vehicle for free". I arrived on time to my appointment and was told that no loaners are available.i have scheduled several appointments for today basing on the fact that i will have a vehicle, i took time off from work and i invested time and money to drive to solon for the safety recall appointment. I would like to receive a written apology from mr ralph lombardi or whoever scheduled this appointment and wasted my time and money. And i would like to know how is this matter going to be remedied. Is there compensation for my aggravation? is there a consequence for this unprofessional business practice?

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.

I am writing to alert you to a serious potential safety design problem that caused a slow leak in the fuel line system with my 2008 range rover hse and to ask for your help for further potential fire hazard investigation.the aluminum metal design of the fuel rail developed a seal leak in the damper that caused a slow fuel leak that i only noticed recently as i was watching my wife back the vehicle down the driveway.i walked over, touched the liquid and smelled it to verify in fact that it was a fuel leak. It was clear that the leak had been there for quite a while but went undetected due to lack of fuel vapor entering the interior of the car or detection by any ofthe vehicles safety/warning systems. Apparently, the vehicle was not designed to detect or alert for small but steady fuel system leaks.i took the vehicle to a land rover dealership where it was diagnosed with a fuel rail damper seal failure.vehicle was repaired but what's more troubling is that they replaced the part 'in kind' with no design improvement
The contact owns a 2008 land rover range rover. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the vehicle would jerk violently. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer on seven different occasions, where they were unable to diagnose the failure. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and decided to send an engineer to inspect the vehicle. The engineer diagnosed that the rear axles were out of round and as a result, the axles and the drive shaft needed to be replaced. The remedy failed to repair the failure. The vehicle was not repaired a second time. The failure mileage was 24,000 and the current mileage was 37,000.
Front end differential locked up on the interstate without warning. Front tires will not turn and are completely locked up. This would have been a wreck if there were other drivers on the road at the same time. Had it towed to a service shop, and a mechanic said the front end differential is completely blown up and should be a factory recall.
I was traveling down the interstate during rush hour, approximately 75 mph keeping up with the flow of traffic. When the vehicle acted as if it went into neutral. I was able to get the suv to the side of the road without causing any accidents. When i tried to place the vehicle in park it made a grinding sound and began to roll backwards. I then applied the emergency brake on to keep it in place. I had it towed to my house, and at a later date during inspection of the drive train i had noticed that the left drivers side trans axle had separated from the front differential of my range rover. At that point i realized how lucky i was to not have been evolved in any sort of major collision. I began to do a little research and read of many similar cases that involved the front wheels locking up at highway speeds. I am so grateful that did not happen in my case, because i was traveling on a busy stretch of interstate during rush hour. I later contacted land rover usa to file a recall claim, and they informed that there was not any safety recall for this model year and part.
My wife came to a complete stop at a stop sign. When she tried to pull off, the vehicle refused to move. Two good samaritans pushed her into a parking lot. Had this happened on the interstate, it could have caused an accident. Inspection a few days later revealed rusted and stripped splines on the transmission output shaft and transfer case mating part. During my research, i found that this is a fairly common problem caused by electrolytic migration due to a lack of grease on the mating parts during assembly. Please note the absolutely clean areas of the transmission and transfer case apart from the rust dislodged during disassembly.
The seatbelt will not engage and lock which renders the equipment inoperable and a safety liability.

The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 102,000.
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.

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 leftvoicemail. 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.
Brought my car for an urgent airbag safety recall matter solicited by land rover and the nhtsa described as a matter that "can cause serious injury or death". Scheduled appointment two weeks in advance and was assured orally and in writing that "if required (the business will) provide a loaner vehicle for free". I arrived on time to my appointment and was told that no loaners are available.i have scheduled several appointments for today basing on the fact that i will have a vehicle, i took time off from work and i invested time and money to drive to solon for the safety recall appointment. I would like to receive a written apology from mr ralph lombardi or whoever scheduled this appointment and wasted my time and money. And i would like to know how is this matter going to be remedied. Is there compensation for my aggravation? is there a consequence for this unprofessional business practice?
