Differential Unit problems of the 2008 Land Rover Range Rover

I was traveling down the interstate during rush hour, approximately 75 mph keeping up with the flow of traffic. When the vehicle acted as if it went into neutral. I was able to get the SUV to the side of the road without causing any accidents. When I tried to place the vehicle in park it made a grinding sound and began to roll backwards. I then applied the emergency brake on to keep it in place. I had it towed to my house, and at a later date during inspection of the drive train I had noticed that the left drivers side trans axle had separated from the front differential of my Range Rover. At that point I realized how lucky I was to not have been evolved in any sort of major collision. I began to do a little research and read of many similar cases that involved the front wheels locking up at highway speeds. I am so grateful that did not happen in my case, because I was traveling on a busy stretch of interstate during rush hour. I later contacted Land Rover USA to file a recall claim, and they informed that there was not any safety recall for this model year and part.

Front end differential locked up on the interstate without warning. Front tires will not turn and are completely locked up. This would have been a wreck if there were other drivers on the road at the same time. Had it towed to a service shop, and a mechanic said the front end differential is completely blown up and should be a factory recall.
