Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING MY 2003 RANGE ROVER ON THE FREEWAY, THE FRONT DIFFERENTIAL SUDDENLY FAILED WITH NO ADVANCE WARNING. LOST ALL PROPULSION. WAS BARELY ABLE TO GLIDE ONTO THE SHOULDER. THIS IS A KNOWN, SIGNIFICANT SAFETY DEFECT THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN ADDRESSED ALREADY. ONLY HAVE 50,000 MILES ON THE CAR. IT IS WELL MAINTAINED. REQUIRES TOTAL REPLACEMENT OF THE FRONT DIFFERENTIAL BY THE DEALER. THERE IS A 2 WEEK DELAY IN GETTING REPLACEMENT PARTS; THIS IS A WELL KNOWN, TOO-COMMONLY-OCCURRING DEFECT. RANGE ROVER SHOULD BE PROTECTING THEIR REPUTATION BETTER. *TR
