Example complaints

“Front differential bearing failed at 51500. Vehicle was brought into Land Rover dealer at approximately 48000 miles while still under warranty for a noise coming from the front of the vehicle and the dealer failed to diagnose it at this point. The noise rapidly became louder and the dealer finally diagnosed it 1500 miles out of warranty and refused to cover under warranty.”
NHTSA complaint #10397769, filed 2011-04, 51,500 miles“My front differential was replaced under warranty at approximately 35k. The rear differential is now failing at approximately 42k and the dealer won't warranty it since it was reported 3 months after the warranty expired. The air suspension is also failing and will need repair.”
NHTSA complaint #10429619, filed 2011-10, 35,000 miles“Unusual differential wear. My differentials fluid are replaced every 20k miles. At 60k mile use, they are now failed (again, 1st replacement at 40k miles.)”
NHTSA complaint #10783691, filed 2015-10, 100,000 miles“Front differential seized while driving on I-70. Failure occurred seconds before vehicle became immobile. Car was left stranded partially obstructing right lane on interstate near a blind curve.”
NHTSA complaint #10468270, filed 2012-07, 80,000 miles“The front and rear drivetrain failed and landrover will not cover the fault due to the fact the warranty just ran out two months ago? I believe the drive train does not just fail overnight?”
