Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“While on the highway in slow traffic, electronic park brake failure first warning flashed and engine suddenly lost power all lights then gradually appearing with a transmission warning next etc etc. Luckily I was near an exit where I waited on a tow. I then while waiting noticed that my trans selector can move out of park with the key in my hand. My complaint is principally that Land Rover will not sympathize with me on the fact that because of such a safety hazard that their relevant recalls should extend until the system is fixed properly and not just until the warentee is over.”
