Brake Abs Warning Light Problems of Land Rover Discovery Ii

We purchased a 01 Land Rover discovery in August of 2004 from Land Rover of austin, TX. The vehicle was appraised by usaa and purchased with the assumption that the vehicle had a clean history report. On 12/11/07, we went to carmax and had the car appraised as a trade-in and the vehicle was appraised for $1,700. This was because before we purchased the vehicle it was declared a lemon in the state of California. Then it was shipped to texas and sold here as a clean vehicle. The lemon status was not disclosed to us or usaa at the time of purchase. Now we owe $14,000 more than the car is worth. We are having to file a lawsuit against Land Rover for punitive damages due to non-disclosure and misinformation.

Abs/ tc/ hill descent light elumination, (3 amigo lights), would indicate there is an abs failure, when taking vehicle to dealer seems to be common occurance with vehilce and can range from abs modulator failure to a sensor. However in my case it was a sensor, or a part (harness overlay) that needs to be installed. While the lights are elluminated, the traction control and the hill decent features of the vehicle do not function, which when in my opinion the traction control could have an adverse effect on the way the abs could funciton or traction on slick surfaces. Have not had the item repaired as of today's date. Dealer will not warranty the repair if after market brake pads are used and installed recently.

In Nov of 2007, brakes failed at slow speeds causing a low speed crash, still expensive damage. Abs and tc lights came on. Fixed was told that it was failure of brake booster. Less than three thousand miles later happened again and now abs, tc and downhill warning light is on. Is so common that it has a nickname. "the three amigos" you can search "three amigo's + landrover" on google and find hundreds of people who have had the same issue. When this happens abs is not functioning and stopping is not normal. This is a huge concern and I believe is connected to the 2 brake recalls already. This needs be recalled and creates un-safe driving.

Various warning lights activated including abs light, indicating failure of the systems on my 2000 Land Rover Discovery Ii. Privately retained mechanic identified the ecu as the problem and also located a recall notice regarding this problem. Local Land Rover dealership stated that the recall was not valid and that "they put these on the internet all the time. " Land Rover north America was contacted via e-mail and telephone message and has not responded. I purchased the vehicle new and the only recall I have recieved concerned the accelleration cable shortly after I purchased the vehicle in 2000. Apparently the local dealership finds NHTSA recalls as "things on the internet" not requiring any action. This is probably to be expected from our local dealership. However, the non-response from Land Rover north America was unexpected.
