| 1998 | SEAT BELTS | THE REAR OUTBOARD SEAT BELTS ARE ANCHORED IN SUCH A WAY AS TO PRECLUDE THE SAFE INSTALLATION OF MORE THAN ONE CHILD RESTRAINT. AS WE ARE EXPECTING OUR SECOND CHILD IN SIX WEEKS, THIS IS A PARAMOUNT CONCERN. DESPITE OUR BEST EFFORTS TO RESOLVE THIS WITH LAND ROVER, EITHER THROUGH RETROFITTING THE SEAT BELTS TO ACCOMODATE A CHILD RESTRAINT OR TO RELEASE US FROM OUR LEASE WITHOUT PENALTY SO THAT WE MAY PURCHASE A NEW VEHICLE, THEY MAINTAIN THAT THERE IS NO PROBLEM. A GENTLEMAN TRAINED BY NHTSA INFORMED ME OF THIS PROBLEM AT A SAFETY INSPECTION. LAND ROVER HAS SUGGESTED THAT MY CHOICE OF CHILD RESTRAINT IS NOT BEST SUITED TO THE DISCOVERY. THEY HAVE NOT INDICATED A RESTRAINT WITH BETTER SUITABILITY. FURTHERMORE, UPON RETURN TO THE NHTSA TRAINED FACILITY, I WAS TOLD THAT NO RESTRAINT CAN BE INSTALLED IN THE REAR OUT BOARD POSITION. *AK |
| 2004 | SUSPENSION | DURING ROUTINE MAINTENANCE, THE MECHANIC NOTICED THAT THERE WAS A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF RUST ON THE FRAME OF THE VEHICLE. THERE WERE SEVERAL PLACES WHERE THE RUST HAD LEFT HOLES IN THE METAL 6 INCHES IN LENGTH. THE MECHANIC INDICATED THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD LIKELY NOT PASS A VEHICLE SAFETY INSPECTION. THE MECHANIC STATED THAT HE HAD NOT SEEN A FRAME RUSTED THIS BADLY ON A VEHICLE THAT WAS ONLY 7 YEARS OLD. *TR |
