RECENTLY BEGAN HEARING A NOISE FROM THE REAR WHEN DRIVING. THOUGHT IT MIGHT BE FROM THE REAR ALIGNMENT CAUSING THE TIRE TREAD TO MAKE THIS SOUND. DRIVING FASTER THE NOISE WOULD GET LOUDER. TOOK TO MY MECHANIC FOR ALIGNMENT AND THEY SAID IT WAS THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL GOING OUT. THE BEARINGS WERE MAKING THE LOUD NOISE. THE VEHICLE ONLY HAS 70,400 MILES AND IS DRIVEN 10 MILES A DAY AND NEVER OFF ROAD. LOOKED FOR ANY RECALL NOTICE I MAY HAVE MISSED AND THEN DISCOVERED THIS SAME SITUATION FROM SEVERAL OTHERS. I ENTERED MY VIN TO CHECK FOR ANY RECALLS AND THERE ARE NONE! SURELY THIS VEHICLE WAS BUILT TO BETTER SPECS. FOR THIS TO FAIL SO EARLY IN THE LIFE (MILEAGE) OF THE VEHICLE IS UNACCEPTABLE AND NEEDS TO BE REPAIRED BY THE MANUFACTURER AT N/C. I'M CERTAIN THERE ARE MANY MORE THAN THOSE OF US WHO HAVE FILED HERE; HOWEVER, THERE ARE ENOUGH ON THIS SITE TO TAKE THE ISSUE SERIOUS AND ADDRESS THE MATTER WITH THE MANUFACTURER. THIS NEEDS TO BE RECOGNIZED FOR WHAT IS - A MANUFACTURING DEFECT AND NEEDS TO BE FIXED BY LAND ROVER!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 LAND ROVER LR2. WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH, A LOUD HUMMING NOISE WAS COMING FROM THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE. THE FASTER THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED, THE LOUDER THE NOISE BECAME. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED AND WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 83,000.

THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL HAS BEEN DIAGNOSED WITH A PINION BEARING FAILURE BY LAND ROVER. THE VEHICLE ONLY HAS 59,000 MILES AND HAS NEVER SEEN ANYTHING OFF ROAD

Jan 21, 2019

NOTICED A LOUD NOISE FROM REAR OF VEHICLE WHILE DRIVING. THE GREATER THE SPEED THE LOUDER THE NOISE. DEALER INSPECTION CONFIRMED REAR DIFFERENTIAL FAILING AND NEEDS REPLACEMENT. VEHICLE HAS 38,000 MILES AND STILL HAS THE ORIGINAL FACTORY TIRES. REAR DIFFERENTIAL FAILING BEFORE ORIGINAL TIRES ARE WORE OUT! POTENTIAL TOTAL FAILURE OF REAR DIFFERENTIAL DURING OPERATION A REAL SAFETY CONCERN.

REAR DIFFERENTIAL HAD TO BE REPLACED IN LESS THAN 70K

Jan 13, 2019

THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL NEEDS REPLACED AT ONLY 71K MILES - DEALERSHIP HAS QUOTED A COST OF $6,000.00. THIS IS APPARENTLY A VERY COMMON PROBLEM FOR THE LR2 AND LAND ROVER HAS ISSUED A TSB BUT WILL NOT PERFORM A RECALL AND FIX THIS KNOWN ISSUE AND FACTORY DEFECT.

I HAD JUST DRIVEN 3 HOURS TO CHICAGO FROM GALESBURG, I WAS PREPARED TO ENTER 90/94 AT STONEY ISLAND , BUT I DECIDED TO STOP OFF BECAUSE MY CELL PHONE WAS NOT CHARGING MY CIGARETTE LIGHTER WAS NOT WORKING. I KNOW ENOUGH ABOUT CARS TO CHANGE A LITTLE FUSE. I POPPED MY HOOD TO CHECK OUT THE FUSES, TO REPLACE IT. I PULLED THE FUSE FOR THE LIGHTER IT WAS NOT BLOWN, I PUT IT BACK. I DECIDED TIME IS GETTING LATE, FORGET IT, I WILL BUY AND EXTERNAL CHARGER IN INDIANA. WHEN I REPLACED THE FUSE COVER AND CLOSED THE HOOD. THE CAR WOULD NOT START, THE BCS WARNING CAME UP, AND THE HAZARDS BEGAN FLASHING, AND CRASH WARNING LIGHT CAME UP. I COULD NOT PUSH BRAKES, TURN STEERING WHEEL, TURN OFF LIGHTS, REMOVE KEY, PUT IN NEUTRAL, LOCK CAR OR START THE CAR. I HAD TO GET TOWED TO THE LR DEALERSHIP IN CHICAGO WHERE MY VEHICLE REMAINS. I AM SUBMITTING THIS BECAUSE LR SAID THAT THIS IS A RARE OCCURRENCE AND THEY HAVE DONE VERY LITTLE OF PROVIDING ANSWERS. I WAS PREPARED TO DRIVE3 THRU THE ALLEGHENY'S, WHAT IF THIS WOULD HAVE HAPPENED AS I WAS TRAVELING BACK TO DC? WHO ELSE COULD HAVE BEEN HARMED BY MY SYSTEM SEIZING UP? I LITERALLY WOULD HAVE LOST CONTROL OF MY VEHICLE. ESPECIALLY WITH 36K MILES AND STILL UNDER WARRANTY. *TR

I PURCHASED A 2011 LR2 AND THE BLUETOOTH SYSTEM IS USELESS AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. IT IS HARD TO HEAR CALLERS AT SPEEDS OF 45MPH+ AND CALLERS OFTEN COMPLAIN THAT THE SOUND IS DISTORTED, OR THAT IT SOUNDS LIKE THE WINDOWS ARE DOWN. I HAVE TAKEN IT IN TO BE LOOKED AT BY THE DEALER, BUT NO FIX WAS MADE. I ALSO CONTACTED CORPORATE LAND ROVER AND THEY WERE NO HELP. *TR
