TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 LAND ROVER RANGE ROVER. THE CONTACT HEARD AN ABNORMAL NOISE AND FELT A STRONG VIBRATION WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO TWO DIFFERENT INDEPENDENT MECHANICS WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE FRONT DIFFERENTIAL NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. AN UNKNOWN DEALER WAS CONTACTED TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE MANUFACTURER ISSUED FIVE TSBS FOR THE SUSPENSION. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

THE STEERING COLUMN WILL DROP WHILE DRIVING. IT IS A KNOWN PROBLEM AND LAND ROVER WANTS $1,900 OR MORE TO REPLACE THE STEERING COLUMN. I WAS TRAVELLING ON THE INTERSTATE AND THE STEERING WHEEL SUDDENLY DROPPED ON MY KNEES. WHEN I LIFTED MY LEG TO APPLY THE BRAKES, IT CAUSED THE STEERING WHEEL TO TURN, CAUSING ME TO SWERVE INTO TRAFFIC. I IMMEDIATELY CALLED THE LAND ROVER DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THEY HAVE HAD COMPLAINTS BUT IT IS NOT ON THE RECALL LIST. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS.
