REAR DIFFERENTIAL PROBLEMS. TODAY AUGUST 8, 2020 I HAD TO PUT MY VEHICLE BACK IN THE SHOP AND IT'S THE SAME ISSUE THAT I HAD A YEAR AGO. I HAD THE SAME WHIRRING NOISE AND I WAS TOLD IT WAS MY REAR DIFFERENTIAL GOING OUT. GOT IT REPLACED ON MARCH 31, 2019. FAST FORWARD TO TODAY SAME NOISE SAME ISSUE. THIS HAS GOT TO BE A RECALL ISSUE. TOO TOO MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS EXACT SAME ISSUE. THIS IS NOT A REASONABLE FIX AND TO HAVE TO GET THE SAME THING REPLACED AGAIN WITHIN A YEAR, UNACCEPTABLE. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE.

Incident: January 30, 2019 · Filed: March 12, 2019

REAR END OF LR2 STARTED TO HUM AT 62,522 MILES. BROUGHT IT TO LAND ROVER DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME THAT IT WAS THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL AND THE COST OF REPLACEMENT WOULD BE $3000.00 DOLLARS. NO VEHICLE SHOULD BE THIS COSTLY AT SO LOW MILEAGE AND AFTER FURTHER RESEARCH THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM THAT LAND ROVER WILL NOT FIX. DEFINETLY RECALL WORTHY AS THIS IS NOT SAFE AND COULD BE A ROAD HAZARD. NOISE HAS LOUDEND AFTER A WEEK.

SECOND REAR DIFFERENTIAL NEEDING TO BE REPLACED AFTER <24K MILES. THE FIRST WAS REPLACED AFTER 68K MILES. THERE IS A LOUD GRINDING NOISE COMING FROM THE REAR OF THE TRUCK. TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY ADVISED WHAT I THOUGHT THAT IT WAS. LAND ROVER WILL NOT STAND BEHIND THE PART, TELLS ME THAT IT IS OVER THE 1 YEAR WARRANTY PERIOD. TOO MUCH OF THIS PART GOING BAD AND AN EXPENSIVE REPLACEMENT.
