2010 Land Rover LR2 Complaints

MY 2010 LANDROVER LR2 WITH 70K MILES, STARTED MAKING LOUD HUMMING /GRINDING NOISES COMING FROM THE REAR END LATE IN 2016 WHEN DRIVING OVER 30 MPH, I CONTACTED LAND ROVER OF OMAHA AND LAND ROVER OF NORTH AMERICA FOR HELP IN RESOLVING THIS DEFECTIVE ISSUE. THE ONLY HELP I RECEIVED WAS A QUOTE FOR ABOUT $9300 TO FIX IT. WHICH I COULD NOT AFFORD. I NOW HAVE IT IN AN INDEPENDENT SHOP TO REPLACE THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL WITH A USED ONE THAT I HOPE LASTS FOR $1800

2010 LR2 WITH 25,900 MILES ON IT DEVELOPED A WHINE IN THE REAR END. DEALER SAYS THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL NEEDS TO BE REBUILT/REPLACED FOR $2000+. SLIGHTLY OUT OF WARRANTY BY AGE (BUT NOT BY MILEAGE). DEALER SAY'S WARRANTY WILL NOT COVER, HOWEVER IT APPEARS THERE ARE MANY MANY OTHER CASES FOR THE LR2 THAT HAVE THE SAME ISSUE. HOWEVER, IT DOES NOT APPEAR THAT LAND ROVER NORTH AMERICA OR THE DEALER IS INTERESTED IN DEALING WITH THIS ISSUE, DESPITE THE FACT THAT IT SEEMS TO BE A PERVASIVE ISSUE. IT SEEMS THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL ISSUE TO RESOLVE THE PROBLEM.

I BOUGHT A 2010 LAND ROVER LR2 FROM THE DEALER LESS THAT 1 YEAR AGO. IT HAD 72,000 MILES WHEN I BOUGHT IT, THE SALES REP AND LAND ROVER SAID THE CAR WAS A "LOANER" CAR FOR CUSTOMERS. THEY SAID IT WAS FULLY MAINTAINED AND SERVICED AT THE APPROPRIATE MILES. IVE ONLY DRIVEN IT 8,000 MILES AND THE DRIVE TRAIN IS NOW HUMMING AND WHIRLING. I TOOK IT TO AN INDEPENDENT SHOP AND THEY SAID THAT THESE LAND ROVER ARE INFAMOUS IN HAVING THESE PROBLEMS. MORE THAN ANY OTHER CAR. IN THIS CASE I STRONGLY FEEL LAND ROVER SHOULD AS A COURTESY FIX MY REAR DIFFERENTIAL BECAUSE IT IS NOT A COMMON PROBLEM AND A FLAW IN THESE CARS. THE HUMMING WHIRLY NOISE COMES AS YOU START TO RUN THE CAR AND GETS DUDE AS YOU SPEED UP. IN CONCLUSION THE REPAIR FOR THE DIFFERENTIAL IS VERY EXPENSIVE.

LOUD WHINE/GROWLING SOUND COMING FROM DRIVE TRAIN AT ALL SPEEDS. GREW LOUDER OVER A PERIOD OF TWO WEEKS. HAD TO HAVE THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL REPLACED AT ONLY 35,890 MILES DUE TO BEARING FAILURE.
