general problems of the 1996 Land Rover Discovery

Car won't start but turns over normally. Beginning about a month and a half ago so I've noticed a few times it feeling like its going to die like it's being held back a little bit when I'm driving on the freeway not having enough to get it going like something is clogged or something. . . . Fuel pump I was wondering and going to get it checked but it only happens when I'm on the freeway for a little bit and when I slow down it feels like its going to die also after getting off the freeway are slowing down but it does it also when I'm going at higher speeds on the freeway but only then not when I'm driving through town.

Service brakes, hydraulic. Under normal braking abs is activated when applying brakes and causes brakes vibrate/pulse and make it extremely difficult to stop requiring pumping of brake pedal. Happens most frequently at low speeds when turning a corner, out of a driveway when very likely to his pedestrians or oncoming traffic when unabe to break. At higher speeds up to 25-30 mph the same situation arises but you generally have more time and distance to recover. Otherwise breaks work most of the time, which makes this glitch so frustrating and seemingly unrelated to break pad or wear and tear issues, as substantiated by similar NHTSA complaint #s: 882300, 8011620, 10028658, 10024539, 10110112.

Side step broke off, substantiated by similar NHTSA complaint # = 603676.

Component(s): latches/locks/linkages on all doors: right front door latch requires slammed shut and won't open without key trapping passenger inside or fails to latch fully when closing causing the door to "bounce" back off the door seals. ---rear door lock requires key----driver door key broke off inside. Despite my vehicle being a 1996 Land Rover Discovery with only one previous owner, dealer claims my VIN# is not included in recall for door latch repairs substantiated by previous complaints submitted for my year/make/model, so please re-open investigation to include all 1996 Land Rover Discovery VIN#s: similar NHTSA complaint #s= 605132, 823508, 983887, 508953, pe96060, 603247, 602621, 603962.

Ascending minimal inclines while 55mph and above, engine misfires resulting in loss of power and inability to accelerate, as substantiated by similar NHTSA complaint #: 603676 "an english car specialist in raleigh, nc. Determined it was a speed sensing transmitter. This device tells the car's computer how fast the car is moving. While driving 60 mph, it was getting a signal of 130 mph. Thinking it was moving too fast, the car will automatically misfire in an effort to slow it down. They replaced the speed sensor (for $120) and the problem was fixed. This is a common problem for older lrs and the dealers should know this. They use it as an opportunity to charge for a much more expensive valve job. ".
