1 Vehicle Speed Control problem

Failure Date: 04/05/2010

Abs sytem is faulty. Activation at low speeds,dry pavement, and low or high pressure on pedal. I can hear the pump activate for no reason. I also feel the pedal vibrate and the truck continues to roll. Almost killed a pedestrian once or twice. After it did the same to my wife I clipped the sensors and took out the light bulb in the dashboard. I drive better than the abs ecu computes. No problems since completely deactivating and unplugging sytem. Please include new ranges of vehicles in these recalls. I will be powerless to have this reimbursed otherwise. Also need to re-evaluate recall range for the fuel neck filler problem. My truck was in for the tank recall but they failed to do the filler neck and I have spent years trading out iac, throttle sensors, and maf sensors trying to figure out the problem. Thank you sanfrancisco Land Rover. Sarcasm intended.

2 Vehicle Speed Control problem

Failure Date: 12/20/1998

On multiple occasions, applying the brakes has caused the engine to race, accelerating the car while causing the brake power assist to fail. Without power assist, braking requires very high pedal pressure and makes it very difficult to stop the car. Thi.
