Brake Light On Problems of Land Rover Discovery Ii

I recently bought a Land Rover discovery 2 (1999 model - 75,000 mi. ). My abs brake light, hill decent light, and traction control lights keep coming on intermittently. I have read hundreds of complaints on this issue online. Apparently the 3 items (abs, hill decent, and traction control) are all interconnected items - generally called three amigo problem online. The major concern is that the abs does not work and the brake pedal will sometimes go to the floor, brakes shutter and on occasion barely engage at all. I have almost wrecked the vehicle on a couple of occasions. I have no choice but to drive my car. I can't afford the $3500 the Land Rover dealer wants to fix this design flaw. I can't get rid of the vehicle because nobody wants to buy or trade for a car with all these warning lights on. Again, if you look online you will see that this is a Land Rover design flaw and that almost every one of theses vehicles is affected. Land rover claims it is from abuse or lack of maintaining this "wearable item. " if this was really the case, would thousands of people, with mileage ranging from new to hundreds of thousands of miles, have the same problem?.

Failure of antilock service brakes. Defect first identified in March 2005, when hdc,abs,tc and red brake light came on. Vehicle taken to Land Rover of wood bridge where they diagnosed a loose connector. These lights came on intermittently over the last several years, but went out on their own usually. In late 2008 the lights came back on and stayed on. Car taken back to lr in Dec. 17, 2008 with 38805 miles. Failure of the abs modulator was diagnosed, and warranty coverage was denied, despite what was a failure to diagnose and correct the problem in 2005. Repair was to be $3000 plus labor. I subsequently learned that there have been recalls issued for this problem and it appears the my VIN number falls within the range. However lr refuses to cover this repair. I have made 2 attempts with customer service to have lr repair this defect under warranty coverage without success. I have also noted that there are other similar complaints for the same problem and lr continues to avoid their responsibility to have safe vehicles on the road.

Brake pedal low when pushed for first time. Pedal will pump up to where I would consider it a good brake pedal. Pedal will also creep down with pressure being held, however brake warning light does not light. Took to dealer twice for this complaint and they said it was normal no failures yet, but waiting!.
