Air Bags, vehicle Speed Control
09/14/2014
THIS IS WHAT I SENT TO LAND ROVER USA LAST NIGHT. HAVE NOT HEARD FROM THEM YET. "MY 2004 RANGE ROVER SUDDENLY ACCELERATED AT A VERY HIGH SPEED FOR A FEW SECONDS WHILE I WAS PARKING CAUSING DAMAGE TO THE CAR AND PROPERTY. ALSO NONE OF THE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED EVEN THOUGH THE IMPACT WAS SEVERE. I WOULD LIKE TO BE INFORMED OF ANY SUCH ISSUES AND WHAT STEPS WERE TAKEN TO CORRECT THEM. I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO KNOW WHAT RECOURSE I HAVE. I WILL BE CONTACTING THE NHTSA TO GET THEIR INPUT." AFTER THE SHOCK WORE OFF I HAD A CLOSER EXAMINATION OF THE INCIDENT AND I AM NOW POSITIVE THAT THE ACCELERATION WAS NOT BY ME. THERE IS EVIDENCE(SKID MARKS) TO SHOW THAT BRAKE WAS APPLIED FROM THE VERY BEGINNING. I WOULD APPRECIATE IT IF THE NHTSA CAN FURTHER INVESTIGATE THIS INCIDENT. I HAVE THE CAR AT THE PLACE OF THE INCIDENT AND NOTHING HAS YET BEEN TOUCHED. THANK YOU *TR

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON. TOOK TRUCK THROUGH INSPECTION AND IT FAILED. TOOK TRUCK TO RANGE ROVER DEALER, PAID FOR DIAGNOSTIC TEST ($120.38) AND WAS TOLD THERE WAS AN AIR LEAK. PAID $723.53 DROVE ABOUT 1 BLOCK AND THE LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN. TURNED AROUND AND TOOK TRUCK BACK TO DEALER. THEY SAID THEY DID SOMETHING TO FIX THE PROBLEM. THE NEXT DAY, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME BACK ON. HAVE BEEN TO THE CHERRY HILL, NJ DEALER 5 TIMES, SPENT HOURS WAITING AND CAN'T DRIVE MY TRUCK BECAUSE THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS STILL ON AND MY INSPECTION STICKER HAS EXPIRED. WON'T BE GOING BACK TO THE CHERRY HILL DEALER. TOOK TRUCK TO THE SHOP RECOMMENDED BY THE NJ INSPECTION DEPARTMENT AND WAS TOLD THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER AT RIGHT FRONT WELD IS CRACKED . I HAVE PAPER WORK TO SHOW IT WAS STILL UNDER EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR 11 YRS/120,000 MILES. HOW CAN THIS ISSUE BE RESOLVED? PLEASE RESPOND. THANK YOU. *TR
