Range Rover 8-cyl

The front wheels locked up and caused the car to veer dangerously and screech to a halt. This was due to a failed front differential which, upon more online research is a common issue with this model. It was replaced by the dealer at a cost of $3,000.

Range Rover 8-cyl

Vehicle began making a mid to high pitch whining/grinding sound coming from the rear of the vehicle. The sound is present at most speeds now. Land Rover dealer told me it was the rear differential beginning to fail, and would cost $2200 to replace. They also told me that Land Rover North America is aware of the defective differentials, but essentially could care less.

problem #1

Range Rover

  • 78,000 miles
The contact owns a 2006 Land Rover Range rover. While the vehicle was parked on an incline the vehicle began to roll away on its own. The contact was inside the vehicle and placed the parking brake in order to stop the vehicle. The vehicle was towed to the dealer for diagnostic testing. There was a recall under NHTSA campaign id number: 05V502000 (power train:automatic transmission) that may be related to the failure. The technician stated the VIN was not included in the recall and diagnostic test would have to be performed to diagnose the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The VIN was not available. The approximate failure mileage was 78,000.
