The contact owns a 1995 Land Rover Discovery. While driving approximately 55 mph with the cruise control engaged, there was a smoke odor as the cruise control independently disengaged and the vehicle made a jerking motion. The SRS and ABS warning indicators illuminated. The contact discovered a burning odor coming from the steering column. The dealer stated that the vehicle was not included in NHTSA campaign number: 98V040000 (air bags, vehicle speed control). The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 159,000.

My son had an accident in our 1995 Land Rover Discovery. He lost control and hit a parked car with the front of the Land Rover and the insurance company considers the Land Rover a total loss. Luckily no one was injured, but we are concerned that the airbags did not deploy. The insurance adjuster told us that with this much damage the airbags should have deployed. I thought it might be something that some regulatory Agency should be aware of. We purchase vehicles with safety equipment and have no way of determining if they will actually work when needed.
