NHTSA Complaint #10229028 — 2004 LAND ROVER RANGE ROVER

A STOP LIGHT WAS TURNING "GREEN" SO I STEP ON THE GAS PEDDLE, THE VEHICLE AT THAT TIME STOPPED ABRUPTLY AND WAS MAKING A GRINDING NOISE. WHEN I STEP ON THE GAS, IT DOESN'T DO ANYTHING BUT MAKING A LOUDER GRINDING SOUND. AT THAT TIME, I SEE AN ERROR MESSAGE THAT READS "REMOVE GEAR OF NEUTRAL". I DID NOT RECEIVE ANY WARNING MESSAGE OR ANY FUNNY NOISE LEADING TO THIS . THIS HAS NEVER HAPPEN BEFORE. I HAD MY CAR TOWED TO A INDEPENDENT GARAGE, SINCE THE LANDROVER DOES NOT TAKE ANY RESPONSIBILITY OR ACCOUNTABILITY ON THE FALSE DESIGN OF THIS VEHICLE. I FOUND OUT LATER IT WAS AN ON GOING ISSUE WITH THE FRONT DIFFERENTIAL, WHICH THE DEALERSHIP TRYING TO SAY IT WAS AN "WEAR AND TEAR" ISSUE AND THEY WERE GOING TO CHARGE ME $1,800.00 TO FIX. I WILL NEVER PURCHASE ANYTHING FROM LANDROVER OR WHOEVER THE PARENT COMPANY IS. *TR
