| 1997 | VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL | SURGING AT FULLY CLOSED THROTTLE ACCOMPANIED BY ABS FAILURE IS A REAL ISSUE WITH THIS VEHICLE. THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM ACKNOWLEDGED BY THE MANUFACTURER. PRM CHIP REPLACEMENT TO FIX THE SURGE PROBLEM SHOULD BE A SAFETY RECALL. MY 1997 LAND ROVER DISCOVERY WOULD NOT STOP AT A STOP LIGHT WHEN LETTING OFF THE ACCELERATOR BECAUSE THE RPMS SURGED ON THE VEHICLE. UPON ATTEMPTING TO DEPRESS THE BRAKES THE ABS MALFUNCTIONED CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO CONTINUE TO ACCELERATE DUE TO LACK OF BRAKES AND AN ELEVATED RPM LEVEL. THIS IS AN ELECTRONIC DEFECT THAT NEEDS IMMEDIATE ATTENTION DUE TO THE NUMBER OF VEHICLES WHICH EXPERIENCE THIS PROBLEM AND THE ACKNOWLEDGMENT BY THE MANUFACTURER THAT RPM SURGING AT FULLY CLOSED THROTTLE REQUIRES THE REPLACEMENT OF A REVISED CHIP TO REMEDY THIS. THIS VEHICLE IS OF NO USE TO ME BECAUSE IT IS UNSAFE TO OPERATE AND THUS UNSUITABLE FOR ROAD USE. I AM SERIOUSLY CONSIDERING CONTACTING OTHER SOURCES/MEDIA OUTLETS TO INVESTIGATE THIS COMMON PROBLEM. *LA |
| 2004 | VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL:ACCELERATOR PEDAL | MY DAUGHTER'S GAS PEDAL STUCK AND WOULD NOT RELEASE ON HER 2004 LAND ROVER DISCOVERY. SHE DROVE INTO THE DITCH TO AVOID OTHER CARS. SHE HAS WITNESSES WHO ACTUALLY CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND TOLD THEM THEY WITNESSED THE EVENT. SERVICE CENTER INVESTIGATED, TOLD ME THEY HAD SEEN THIS BEFORE AND THERE WAS NO SUCCESS IN JUST DECREASING AND LUBRICATING THE OLD GAS LINKAGE ONLY TO HAVE IT HAPPEN AGAIN. THEY RECOMMENDED I REPLACE IT AND PAY FOR IT. I DID UNDER PROTEST FOR MY DAUGHTER SINCE THIS IS A "LIFE OR DEATH" SITUATION THAT SHOULD NOT BE OURS TO PAY FOR. HAD THE LINE KINKED, BENT OR BEEN DAMAGED IN ANY WAY TO CAUSE SUCH A PROBLEM, I BELIEVE IT WOULD HAVE BEEN ACCEPTABLE. HOWEVER TO HAVE THEM SAY THEY ARE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND CAN ONLY FIX IT BY PUTTING ON NEW GAS PEDAL LINES SOUND LIKE A "HUGE" DEFECT TO ME. I WANT AN INVESTIGATION AND WE HAVE THE OLD PART. *JB |
