NHTSA Complaint #10604857 — 2008 LAND ROVER LR2

THIS IS AN ADDENDUM TO ODI# 10604656 HUMMING/GRINDING FROM REAR OF VEHICLE. SPOKE TO THE LAND ROVER USA REPRESENTATIVE TODAY AND THEY OFFERED $500 TOWARD THE TOTAL REPAIR OF $3642. SAID REPRESENTATIVE INDICATED THERE IS NO OTHER RECOURSE OTHER THAN CONTACTING THE BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU. BASICALLY, I WAS TOLD TO GO POUND SAND DUE TO THE VEHICLE BEING OUT OF WARRANTY AND I AM FIRST-TIME OWNER. HENCE, I HAVEN'T PROVIDED ENOUGH BUSINESS TO LAND ROVER TO QUALIFY FOR GREATER MONETARY ASSISTANCE. LAND ROVER IS ESSENTIALLY BENEFITING FROM THE COSTLY REPAIR OF THESE DEFECTIVE VEHICLES THAT THEY SOLD TO THEIR CUSTOMERS. THESE DRIVETRAIN ISSUES ARE CLEARLY CAUSED DUE TO DEFECTIVE PARTS AND/OR IMPROPER DRIVETRAIN DESIGN AND THE NHTSA REALLY NEEDS TO SUPPORT CONSUMERS IN GUIDING THE MANUFACTURER TO INITIATE A RECALL, ETC. *TR
