Consumer Description

NOTICED A HUMMING SOUND COMING FROM THE REAR OF MY LAND ROVER LR2. SO I TOOK IT INTO A LOCAL SHOP AND ASK THEM TO LOOK AT IT. I THEN TOOK THE INFORMATION THAT THEY PROVIDED ME AND CALLED THE NEAREST LAND ROVER DEALER ABOUT 100 MILES AWAY. THEY SAID THAT IT SOUNDED LIKE THE PINION GEARS, THAT IT WAS A "KNOWN PROBLEM" AND "VERY COMMON" THEY EXPLAINED THAT THEY HAVE A WAY TO FIX THE ISSUE AND THAT IT WOULD BE AROUND $1,000.00 THEY ALSO DISCOURAGED ME FROM HAVING MY LOCAL SHOP WORK ON IT. SO AT THIS POINT I'M GOING TO CALL THE LAND ROVER DEALER AND SETUP AN APPOINTMENT. THE LOCAL SHOP SUGGESTED THAT I FILL OUT A COMPLAINT. NOW THAT I LOOK AT THE DATABASE IT SEEMS LIKE A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE HAVING THIS SAME ISSUE. *TR
