| 2008 | POWER TRAIN | BEGAN HEARING A VERY LOUD HUMMING SOUND FROM THE REAR SO I TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC AND FOUND THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL NEEDED TO BE CHANGED. I BEGAN TO DO SOME RESEARCH AND FOUND THIS TO BE A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM AMONGST ALL 2008 LAND ROVER LR2S ONCE THE LR2 REACHES AROUND 60K TO 80K. THIS IS REALLY UNACCEPTABLE OF LAND ROVER TO NOT TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS ISSUE AS IT IS A VERY BIG SAFETY CONCERN. *TR |
| 2008 | POWER TRAIN | I BOUGHT MY LAND ROVER LR2 HSE BRAND NEW FROM A DEALER IN NJ ON MAY 31, 2008 . IN MID 2012, AT 45K MILES RIGHT AFTER MY WARRANTY EXPIRED, I STARTED TO HEAR A DISTURBING HOWLING OR HUMMING NOISE FROM THE REAR WHICH IS GETTING MUCH LOUDER AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. IT GOT WORSE AFTER DRIVING ANOTHER 2K MILES, SO I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP IN APRIL 2013. I WAS TOLD THAT THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL (RDIFF) NEEDS TO BE REPLACED WHICH WAS THE CAUSE FOR THE NOISE. I WAS GIVEN AN ESTIMATE FOR THE REPLACEMENT OF A REBUILT (NOT A BRAND NEW ONE) FOR $2321. THIS CAR HAS AN ALMOST UNUSED REAR SEAT AND HAS NEVER BEEN OFF-ROAD AND 80% OFF THE MILEAGE HAS BEEN ON THE HIGHWAY. I CALLED THE LAND ROVER NORTH AMERICA IN MAY TO OPEN A CASE AND ASKED THEM TO PAY FOR THE COST OF THE REPAIR SINCE I FOUND THIS PROBLEM EXTREMELY PREMATURE FOR A HIGH END SUV. THEY DON'T EXPLICITLY ADMIT 2008 LR2S HAVE FAULTY RDIFFS BUT THEY AGREED TO PAY ONLY $500 TOWARDS THE REPLACEMENT. I AM AFRAID THIS PROBLEM MIGHT GET WORSE AND TREACHEROUS TO DRIVE AND STRONGLY BELIEVE THAT LAND ROVER NORTH AMERICA SHOULD MAKE A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM AND BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR THE WHOLE COST OF REPLACEMENT WITH A BRAND NEW (INSTEAD OF A REBUILT) ONE. I ALSO FOUND OUT ON THE INTERNET THAT IS A COMMON PROBLEM FOR 2008 LR2S. HTTP://WWW.LANDROVERSONLY.COM/FORUMS/F11/LR2-REAR-DIFFERENTIAL-FAILURE-41070/. *TR |
