  LAND ROVER HAS A SAFETY RECALL ACTION L#B156 AND THE FEDERAL VEHICLE RECALL GOVERNMENT HAS THEIRS AS 04V20300. LAND ROVER BUILT A DEFECTIVE FUEL TANK THAT WILL LEAK AND INSTALLED IT IN MY VEHICLE WHEN IT WAS NEW. LAND ROVER NOW WANTS ME TO PAY FOR THE FUEL PUMP WHICH NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AS A RESULT OF THE RECALL. I FIND THIS DEMAND UNREASONABLE BOTH ON ITS POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE AND MY OUT OF POCKET COST, AND THAT THEY WILL ONLY REPLACE THE FUEL TANK AND SEAL, WHILE DISTURBING 10 YEAR OLD HOSES/PUMPS/FUEL LINES ECT. WHEN CONTACTED LAND ROVER SAID THAT WAS THEIR POLICY. WHERE IS THE SAFETY IN THIS RECALL? *NM

• 08/14/2016· ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,SERVICE BRAKES,FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

  GAS TANK RECALL DONE IN SAN FRANCISCO BUT THEY FAILED TO CHECK THE FUEL FILLER NECK PROBLEM. I HAVE HAD MULTIPLE MYSTERY ISSUES EVER SINCE, RULING OUT THE FUEL TANK AND PUMP AS THEY WERE BOTH NEW. I HAVE SINCE TRACKED THE PROBLEM TO THE FUEL FILLER NECK THAT THE DEALER FAILED TO FIX. I BELIEVE MY VEHICLE TO HAVE BEEN MANUFACTURED INCORRECTLY AND REPAIRED IN THE SAME MANNER. MY VEHICLE DOES NOT COME UP IN A RECALL SEARCH FOR THE FILLER NECK AND I BELIEVE THE RECALL SHOULD BE AMENDED TO INCLUDE MINE. I HAVE READ ALL 80 OF THE COMPLAINTS RELATIVE TO THIS PROBLEM AND MINE IS LESS THAN 40 UNITS AWAY FROM THE COMPLAINT VEHICLES. I ALSO HAVE BEEN BATTLING THE ABS PROBLEMS OF NOT STOPPING AND THE ABS ACTIVATION FOR NO REASON. I ALMOST WRECKED A FEW TIMES BECAUSE OF THE ABS KICKING ON FOR NO REASON- LOW SPEED, DRY PAVEMENT, EASY SOFT BRAKE PRESSURE. I CLIPPED THE FRONT WHEEL ABS SENSORS AND I HAVE HAD NO PROBLEMS WITH ABS SINCE. FAULTY SOFTWARE IN THE ABS ECU IS PROBABLY TO BLAME BUT IT WOULD DO NO GOOD TO BLAME THE COMPUTER WITH BODIERS LYING IN THE STREET.

• 08/14/2016· VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL,SERVICE BRAKES,FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

  ABS SYSTEM IS FAULTY. ACTIVATION AT LOW SPEEDS,DRY PAVEMENT, AND LOW OR HIGH PRESSURE ON PEDAL. I CAN HEAR THE PUMP ACTIVATE FOR NO REASON. I ALSO FEEL THE PEDAL VIBRATE AND THE TRUCK CONTINUES TO ROLL. ALMOST KILLED A PEDESTRIAN ONCE OR TWICE. AFTER IT DID THE SAME TO MY WIFE I CLIPPED THE SENSORS AND TOOK OUT THE LIGHT BULB IN THE DASHBOARD. I DRIVE BETTER THAN THE ABS ECU COMPUTES. NO PROBLEMS SINCE COMPLETELY DEACTIVATING AND UNPLUGGING SYSTEM. PLEASE INCLUDE NEW RANGES OF VEHICLES IN THESE RECALLS. I WILL BE POWERLESS TO HAVE THIS REIMBURSED OTHERWISE. ALSO NEED TO RE-EVALUATE RECALL RANGE FOR THE FUEL NECK FILLER PROBLEM. MY TRUCK WAS IN FOR THE TANK RECALL BUT THEY FAILED TO DO THE FILLER NECK AND I HAVE SPENT YEARS TRADING OUT IAC, THROTTLE SENSORS, AND MAF SENSORS TRYING TO FIGURE OUT THE PROBLEM. THANK YOU SANFRANCISCO LAND ROVER. SARCASM INTENDED. *TR

• 07/20/2003· SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULICCrash

  VERY POOR EMERGENCY BRAKING AT LOW SPEEDS 30MPH AND SLOWER. WHEN EMERGENCY BRAKING IS REQUIRED LIKE IN A LEFT TURN LAND AND THE PRECEDING CAR DECIDES TO STOP INSTEAD OF COMPLETING THE LEFT TURN, YOU CANNOT STOP QUICKLY. AT HIGHER SPEEDS UP TO 25-30 MPH THE SAME SITUATION ARISES BUT YOU GENERALLY HAVE MORE TIME AND DISTANCE TO RECOVER.EHICLE HAS BEEN LOOKED AT BY INDEPENDEND GARAGES AND MOST RECENTLY, AGAIN, GONE OVER BY THE LANDROVER DEALER IN SCOTTSDALE AZ. I LIVE IN A HILLY AREA IN PRESCOTT AZ AND EVEN COMING OUT OF A STEEP DRIVEWAY AT LOW SPEEDS, SUDDEN BRAKE APPLICATION CANNOT LOCK THE BRAKES OR CAUSE ABS TO OCCUR ON DRY PAVEMENT. PERSONAL OBSERVATION IS THE VEHICLE STOPS QUICKER ON WET PAVEMENT BECAUSE ABS HAPPENS. I HAVE USED THE INTERNET AND NEWSGROUPS AND THE IMPRESSION IS THE BRAKES ON THE OLDER DISCOVERY SERIES OF LANDROVERS, 1995-6-7 IS NOT GOOD. I WOULD SUSPECT THAT THE DAMAGE FROM A REAR END COLLISION WHERE I RAN INTO SOMEONE WITHOUT BRAKE LIGHTS, WAS PROBABLY MADE WORSE (1997). EMERGENCY BRAKING HAPPEND, BUT AS I HAVE DESCRIBED, BRAKING IS MARGINAL.*AK

• 07/15/2001· SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC,VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL

  ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS, APPLYING THE BRAKES HAS CAUSED THE ENGINE TO RACE, ACCELERATING THE CAR WHILE CAUSING THE BRAKE POWER ASSIST TO FAIL. WITHOUT POWER ASSIST, BRAKING REQUIRES VERY HIGH PEDAL PRESSURE AND MAKES IT VERY DIFFICULT TO STOP THE CAR. THI

• 05/23/2002· SEAT BELTS

  THE PROBLEM IS THAT THE ANCHORS FOR THE BOTTOM PORTION OF THE REAR SEAT SEAT BELTS ARE MOUNTED TOO FAR FORWARD ON THE REAR WHEEL WELL TO PROPERLY RESTRAIN A CHILD SAFETY SEAT. WE HAVE A BRITEX BABY SEAT. FROM WHAT I UNDESTAND FROM A CERTIFIED SEAT INSTALLER IS THAT ALL BABY SEATS DO NOT MOUNT PROPERLY IN THE LAND ROVER DISCOVERIES. THE SEAT ROTATES TO THE SIDE AND HAS SIGNIFICANT LATERAL MOVEMENT. I FEEL THIS IS UNSAFE.*AK
