Suspension Problems of Land Rover LR2

The first day I purchased car problems started there was a rattle in the front end and emergency brake did not work. I drove for a short time because dealer told me it was a good reliable car and it shouldnt give me any problems. The rattle got worse tried to talk to dealer but he would not return my calls and he has done the same with other clients. Dealer told me all cars are hand picked and safety inspected. When the rattle got worse I took it to my repair shop they told me it would be around 10 thousand dollars to repair and be safe. The entire suspension was rusted to pieces and had drill out all components. Repair man said the rear wheels could not even be aligned it was rusted to bad. I inquired about rust when purchased but dealer said he didnt know what happened to safety inspected. Dealer refuses to even talk to me about it. I am a cancer patient and car was purchased to have a reliable car for doctor appointments and the dealer new that we discussed it. This dealer is going to get someone killed with his false statements if you read comments to his business many people have had similar issues with him. What will it take someone getting killed with his false advertising.

I purchased the car July 11th 2020, the conpany stated it was safe to drive, once I drove it off the lot & took it to Land Rover they advised me that the car is not safe to drive at all, and the entire chassie is basically destroyed, their are no wheel barrings, and I need front and rear differentials. Also metal scrapings from the rear barrings was getting into the oil pan. The dealer I purchased the car from is refusing to fix it even though they have a 30 day warranty.

Rear differential, excessive noise resulting from design flaw well documented by Land Rover. Cost of repair unreasonably high and is a source of financial abuse by repair facilities. Actual cost is approximately $200 in parts and 5 hours labor. Repair facilities quotes range from $2,800 - $9,300 by ignoring any alternative to a complete replacement.

I have 2009 Lr2 with 93k miles on it. I got 130 multi point inspection by the Honda dealer where I bought the car for the humming noise coming from the back. They gave me clean sheet with just 1 tire replacement needed. 1 week later I got the car checked by the Land Rover dealership and was told its my rear differential which will cost north of $3k. I researched and come to know that there many people out there with this large cost problem with Land Rover. . . Why hasn't this been a part of recall??? I don't have $3k+ sitting around to address the problem. Please assist. Thank you.

Went in for regular oil change: multi point inspection revealed "rear haldex leaking badly need price and fluid". Dealer says "read differential failure: needs to be replaced". Dealer quoted cost for the replacement: $5199 + labor charge. Review of several Land Rover forums shows this is an ongoing issue dating back to 2011, one particular forum "landroversonly. Com" has 160 complaints on this very particular issues. The NHTSA website has 46 complaints (majority of them regarding this issue. Requesting immediate attention to hold Land Rover/dealership accountable for this known defective part.

Rear differential went at 47k miles! started hearing a humming noise on acceleration that progressively got worse over the next month. I researched the problem online, finding out that many people were experiencing the same thing around 50k miles and that it was the rear differential. I called Land Rover explaining the problem, but because I was no longer under warranty, I would be responsible for the entire cost. But before they could do anything, I needed to bring the car in and pay $125 so they could put the car on the lift and confirm it was in fact the rear differential. If it was the rear differential it would cost around $2500-3000! I explained that this issue is well documented on the internet, in multiple Land Rover forums and for a majority of people it is happening just after the warranty expires. They said there was noting they could do about it, the part has not been recalled. I ended up taking the car to a local mechanic, who confirmed the problem (for free!) and charged me $1800. He got the part from Land Rover, it cost 1250 and additional 100 for the fluid/oil that was needed, otherwise the 1 year warranty would be voided. Land rover you should be ashamed of yourself! the rear differential should not go on a 5 year old vehicle with only 47k miles! I only drive locally to and from work, and have never driven the vehicle off road! this should be covered.

Rear started making grinding noise when accelerating and turning to the left or right. I took it to the dealership, they said that they did not hear the noise and I may need to wait until it gets worse, numerous online complaints of a faulty design for the differential - Land Rover told me that they have replaced 2 differentials in last couple of months and if that is what is wrong with my vehicle it could potentially lock up while I'm driving and could cause an accident. Will you please look into why Land Rover has not done a recall ? thank you very much, laurie.

Rear differential failure. Grinding noise, pinion and carrier bearings replaced.

Rear differential replaced around 80,000 miles.

Rear differential - noticed that the vehicle had started to make humming noise and it seems the noise was coming from the rear of the vehicle. Land rover shop checked and said the noise is coming from the tires. Replaced all 4 tires ($1500) and still the noise remained. Got it checked from two other Land Rover shops and both reached the same conclusion - rear differential / bearing failure!! my Lr2 has never gone off-road. I called the Land Rover dealer and he quoted $8900 to replace the entire unit!! unbelievable!! online research shows this is a very common problem Lr2 owners are facing. Land rover must put a recall and fix this immediately to retain their reputation!!.
