Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Tire failed, vehicle became unstable and rolled over gas tank integrity failed, gas splilled and ignited. My seven year old son was burned to death, my 2 year old, my wife and myself sent to hospital with third degree burns. Land rover officials agreed to a recall to prevent the problem in the future. Recall was to take place by april 2003. It has not. I believe they are intentionally dragging their feet to save a few pennies and are putting other Land Rover owners at risk in the meantime.”
