However, due to the manufacturer not reimbursing the independent mechanic for repairs performed in the past, the contact was denied repairs. The contact had not experienced a failure. Par
Takata recall. This car is kept in san bernardino county, california, where there are large fluctuations of temperature and periods of high humidity in both summer and winter. The car is ten years old. The deadline for receipt of new, non-defective airbag keeps getting pushed back. The latest is "maybe this year" (per range rover representative kathleen vaccarro, 201 818 8080). When pressed, vaccarro concedes that what it boils down to is that range rover has made the judgment that it is ok for its customers to be driving a vehicle with a defective airbag for an indefinite period of time. When pressed, she concedes (as anyone has to concede) that no-one knows the point at which the inflator will have degraded and will explode. If I wanted to go skydiving and trust that the parachute

engine 2 complaints shown
About two months ago I started the SUV and attempted to drive to a near by store. After pulling out of my small subdivision, I noticed the car wouldn't accelerate and was making an awful metal-ticking type sound (like metal-on-metal). I then noticed smoke pouring out from underneath the front of the car. I could not see what color it was since it was dark out. I then immediately turned around, drove home, and turned the car of. Total trip time was approximately 5 minutes, total distance was approximately 1 mile. When I got home and got out of the car, I noticed a dark liquid pouring out of the bottom-center part of the engine compartment. I also saw a trail of dark liquid from my drive home upon re-entering my subdivision. The next day, I had the car towed to the last independent mec
Throttle will stay open (and seemingly open a bit more) for approximately 1/2 - 3/4 of a second after foot removed from accelerator pedal. Particularly troublesome at very slow speeds, parallel parking, etc. When "coasting" or simple idling is expected, but vehicle seems to continue as if accelerator is lightly pressed. *tr

cruise control 1 complaint shown
I was driving at a speed of about 25mph on a city street and began to brake gently as I was approaching a red light. The distance between my car and the car in front of me at the time I began braking was over 3-cars-length, but not more than 4. This was not an abrupt stop. As I applied the brake I could feel it began to shudder and the car was not slowing down. I pressed the brake more firmly and while it did respond more so than before, the car was by no means slowing down at a fast enough rate considering how long I had been applying the brake and the fact that I was only traveling at 25mph to begin with. I felt a pulsating that became increasingly pronounced and eventually the brake felt as though it was locked in place and unresponsive to my application of further pressure. The car was
