problem #1

Mar 142008

Range Rover 8-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 95,000 miles
I am the owner of a 2005 Range rover. I purchased the vehicle used in 2006 with 60,000 mile's on it. In June 2007, the front differential broke while in the middle of two busy intersections. Traffic was halted until some men pushed my car to the side of the road. There was no warning leading up to this breakdown. In fact, the car was just at the dealership for the 75,000 mile checkup. Not to mention Range rover charged me $3,000 for this repair.. the most recent front differential breakdown was more serious since it occurred on the expressway in the middle of nowhere. While traveling to birmingham al. From atlanta ga. At a speed of 70 miles per/hr the car made a sudden grinding noise and stop accelerating. Once I realized wgat was going on I started getting to the side of the road. It was scary because part of the truck was still in the freeway lane and trucks and cars were avoiding hitting us. My teenage son had to push the car off the freeway. After this being the second time in peril I am now afraid to drive this vehicle that I owe a considerable amount of money on. This last incident occurred on March 07, 2008. The part was still under warranty since it had only been 9 months and less than 8,000 miles since the last front differential was replaced. Oh by the way, the car is still at the dealership in birmingham al. They didn't have the parts and the parts haven't arrived yet. I hope something can be done to help me, and others in my position.
