Hello- I am not positive if this is the exact location to be sending this. I am a witness to a defect or a malfunction while driving a 5 month old 2006 Land Rover Lr3. While driving on the highway in the mountains of colorado, my car's brakes locked up while driving around 68 mph. This caused me to skid to a complete stop on the highway. However, while coming to a stop my seat belt did not engage, causing me to hit my head and tear muscles in my back, which I had checked out at the doctor. After this happened, I was still at a complete stop on the highway not allowing me to drive or move out of the way from on coming traffic. As the state trooper phrased it, you are very lucky to be alive and not injured. After contacting Land Rover along with the dealer, I have not been able to solve anything. I am very worried that this could happen to someone else. I also have witnessed, items on the car which I feel need to have a recall on because of the fact the same has happened to the loaner cars as well. Stated below are the areas that need to be looked at which Land Rover is over looking or will not give us any information on. - drivers side left passenger door, will not lock along with the other doors after using the remote lock. However, if opened the alarm will sound. - radio- keeps over heating, in which they have had to replace mine three times over the 5 month period of ownership. - seat belts not engaging. I have no reason to believe after this incident that the seat belts will engaged at all if a crash were to take place. Along with other issues. Please contact back as soon as possible. Thank you.
