1 Brake Antilock Wheel Speed Sensor problem

Failure Date: 07/21/2014

I was approaching a stop light less than 2 miles into a trip. At regular speed I heavily applied brakes and the pedal went soft. I floored the pedal in attempt to stop; thankfully no one had begun to move as I carried into the intersection before stopping. I pulled over, read the manual to ensure I knew where to look for brake fluid pressure sensors. I also checked for leaks but did not notice anything; brakes operation was noticeably different but ok so I cautiously continued driving (no warning lights no sensors had gone off). Approximately 35 miles later and at highway speed sensors and lights went crazy telling me I had no brake pressure. With brake operation as hard as a rock I pulled off the road and noticed driver side and undercarriage soaked in brake fluid. In fear of potential fire I turned off the engine and remained outside vehicle. Towed to Land Rover dealer; replace burst driver side brake line to rear (also replaced buldged passenger side line). Land rover of huntington, NY. Given recent recall on 2006 and newer Range Rover models I felt it very relevant to share this information as I expect the issue is relevant for older models as well.
