TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 LAND ROVER LR3. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE "VEHICLE FAULT SYSTEM SHUTTING DOWN" INDICATOR ILLUMINATED AND THE INSTRUMENT PANEL BEGAN TO MALFUNCTION. THE CONTACT STATED THAT SEVERAL CODES COULD BE SEEN USING A DIAGNOSTIC DEVICE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER (LAND ROVER OF NEW ORLEANS 4032 VETERANS MEMORIAL BLVD METAIRIE, LA, 70002); HOWEVER, THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DETERMINED.

THEY REPLIED NO THAT THEY ALSO HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THIS WITH THE "UPDATED COMPRESSOR" AS THE ORIGINAL FACTORY INSTALLED ONES HAD A DESIGN FLAW.

WHEN THIS HAPPENED THE VEHICLE LOST ALL PRESSURE IN AIR SYSTEM WHICH MAINTAINED A SAFE RIDE HEIGHT AND STABLE HANDLING. ONCE THE VEHICLE LOWERS ITSELF ONTO THE BUMP STOPS IT IS LITERALLY RIDING ON THE FRAME.I FOLLOWED THE DIRECTION GIVEN BY THE IN-DASH WARNING SYSTEM AND SLOWED THE VEHICLE TO A STOP, TURNED OFF AND RESTARTED THE VEHICLE, AND THE VEHICLE REGAINED IT'S PROPER RIDE HEIGHT MOMENTARILY AND AGAIN LOST PRESSURE TO THE SUSPENSION SYSTEM. THE SAFETY ISSUE AT QUESTION IS IF THIS SHOULD HAPPEN TO A YOUNG OR INEXPERIENCED DRIVER
