Consumer Description

ALL RANGE ROVERS FROM 2003-2005 HAVE A FULL AIR RIDE SUSPENSION THAT SUPPORTS THE VEHICLE ON ALL FOUR CORNERS. THE CONCERN IS THAT THE AIRBAG THAT SUPPORTS THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE, RUPTURES AND THROWS THE VEHICLE OFF BALANCE WHILE CORNERING CAUSES A LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. WHEN THE AIR SUSPENSION FAILS IT ALSO DEACTIVATES THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKES MAKING THE VEHICLE UNSAFE TO DRIVE BECAUSE OF A LACK OF ABS CONTROL. THIS IS A PROBLEM THAT LAND ROVER IS AWARE OF AND ARE NOT MAKING ANY ATTEMPT TO ADDRESS. THIS IS A $1200.00-$1500.00 REPAIR FOR ONE SIDE (LEFT OR RIGHT) NOT BOTH FRONT AIR BAGS THAT SUPPORT THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE. IF THIS CONCERNED IS RESEARCHED YOU WILL BE AMAZED AT THE NUMBER OF REPAIRS THAT ARE DONE AND PAID FOR BY RANGE ROVER OWNERS, BECAUSE THIS SAFETY ISSUE IS NOT REPORTED OR ADDRESSED. I AM EXPERIENCING THIS ISSUE NOW. *TR
