CURRENTLY THE CAR HAS 36,000 MILES PER THE ODOMETER. TWO DAYS AGO, A HUMMING SOUND STARTED COMING FROM THE REAR UNDERCARRIAGE WHILE DRIVING, AND CONTINUED REGARDLESS OF SPEED. THIS WAS A NEW SOUND, ONE THAT SOUNDED LIKE SOMETHING WAS WRONG, LIKE THE TIRE WAS ABOUT TO FALL OFF THE CAR. THIS WAS SCARY ESPECIALLY SINCE A CAR WITH THIS FEW MILES SHOULD NOT HAVE ANYTHING SERIOUSLY WRONG WITH IT. THE MECHANICS CONFIRMED THAT THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL NEEDS TO BE REPLACED, AND QUOTES ARE EACH AROUND $7,000.00! THIS KIND OF DEFECT SHOULD NOT HAVE GONE UNNOTICED BY LAND ROVER FOR SO LONG WITHOUT ISSUING A RECALL OR HAVING THE DEFECT ADDRESSED PRIOR TO FURTHER PRODUCTION OF THE VEHICLE. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY …

PASSENGER-SIDE AIRBAG IS DISABLED DUE TO BAD SEAT OCCUPANCY SENSOR, LOCAL DEALER DIAGNOSTIC AS SRS SENSOR ISSUE. LAND ROVER ALREADY STARTED A RECALL CAMPAIGN FOR SAME MODEL YEAR, SAME MODEL FOR THIS. HOWEVER, IT EXCLUDES ALL LR2 EXPORTED FROM ENGLAND. THE CURRENT VEHICLE HAS THE EXACT SAME ISSUE AS RECALL "P046 NAS5 - SAFETY RECALL: SUPPLEMENTARY RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS) WARNING LAMP ILLUMINATED" HOWEVER IT IS NOT RECALLED TO FIX ISSUE THAT WILL CAUSE SERVE ISSUE FOR PASSENGER SAFETY.
