• Recall 2017015 [Canada]: Airbag
  On certain vehicles, long-term exposure to high absolute humidity and temperature, combined with high temperature cycling, could eventually degrade the propellant contained in the passenger frontal airbag. This could cause the airbag to deploy with more force than normal. As a result, if the vehicle were involved in a collision that warrants airbag deployment, metal fragments could be propelled toward vehicle occupants, and the airbag assembly could be damaged, preventing proper function. These issues could increase the risk of injury. Correction: depending on the model, dealers will either replace the passenger frontal airbag inflator or airbag assembly. Note: canadian climate results in the propellant degrading slowly. The recall is being conducted as a precaution to address future risk, and is expected to replace airbag inflators before their function would be affected.

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.

On four different occasions over the course of about 10 years, with foot pressing hard on brake toward bottom left side of the brake, the car accelerated. First time, i was at an atm. Foot was on the brake. I was leaning out the window getting money out of the atm and the car accelerated. A loud noise of it ramping up and then it jolted forward. I immediately sat back straight in the car keeping my foot on the brake. Within about 3 feet the car stopped. Second time was at a fast food restaurant. Leaning out to get the food, the car accelerated. Made the loud ramping up sound. Jerked forward and immediately stopped. Third time, at a pharmacy drive through, leaning out to get the medications, foot on the brake. Car accelerated. Loud ramping up noise. Lunged forward about 2 feet then stopped. Most recent time, i was getting a ticket at a parking garage gate. Leaned out to press the button to get the ticket. 100% positive my foot was on the brake. Pressed hard on the bottom left side of the brake so as to not slip. The car made the ramping up sound, then accelerated. When i heard the noise, i immediately sat straight and kept my foot on the brake the entire time. It went about 15 feet without stopping - the entire length of the gate bent and then scrapped down the side of my car. (tried hard to drive around it after it bent). I released the brake and then pressed it again and the car stopped. I was able to park it in a parking space immediately in front maybe 100 yards away. I took it to the dealer after the last incident. They were unable to replicate the issue. They insisted my foot must have pressed the accelerator or the carpet must have been pushed up under the accelerator (the car has rubber matts, there is no carpet) as a work around, i now always put it in park with the emergency brake on whenever i'm at a drive through.

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?

Tl* the contact owns a 2008 land rover range rover. The contact stated that the vehicle began to leak brake fluid. The fluid continued to leak over time and would not stop. There were no warning indicators illuminated. The vehicle was towed to knoxville land rover (10215 parkside dr, knoxville, tn 37922, (865) 777-3000), but was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 102,000.

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.

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.
