| 2006 | VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL | THIS IS THE SECOND BRAND NEW RANGE ROVER LR3 (V6) THAT WOULD NOT STOP AND INSTEAD ACCELERATED RAPIDLY THROUGH A STOP SIGN ACROSS A HIGHWAY. MY PREVIOUS COMPLAINT CONCERNED THE FIRST CAR WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. SEE COMPLAINT #10154482. THIS CAR HAD ABUT 200 MILES ON IT. LIKE THE FIRST ONE WE BOUGHT, IT ALSO COULD NOT BE STOPPED WHEN FORCEFULLY APPLYING THE BRAKE. INSTEAD IT TOOK OFF AND LATER CAME TO A STOP. WE LUNGED THROUGH AN INTERSECTION ACROSS A HIGHWAY AND FORTUNATELY NO OTHER CARS WERE COMING. WE HAD THIS CAR ALSO TOWED TO THE DEALER. SINCE THE DEALER COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG WITH THE LAST CAR THAT DID THE SAME THING, THIS TIME THEY WERE QUICKER WITH A REFUND. MY WIFE AND I STILL DON'T KNOW WHAT THEY DID WITH THE VEHICLES, NOR WHAT THE ACTUAL PROBLEM WAS. THE TOW DRIVER OF THE FIRST CAR SAID IT WAS A CRUISE CONTROL PROBLEM. WHATEVER THE PROBLEM IS, IT IS VERY SERIOUS AND DANGEROUS. WHAT ARE THE ODDS OF THIS HAPPENING TO TWO VEHICLES PURCHASED ONLY ONE MONTH APART? *JB |
| 2006 | VISIBILITY:WINDSHIELD | I JUST PURCHASED A 2006 LANDROVER LR3 WITH COLD CLIMATE PACKAGE WHICH INCLUDES A HEATED FRONT WINDSHIELD. MY COMPLAINT IS THAT WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT ANY HEAD LIGHT FROM ON COMING CARS OR STREET SIGNS IS AUTOMATICALLY BLURRED BY THE VERTICAL ELEMENT LINES THAT ARE IN THE WINDSHIELD. (THERE ARE MANY VERTICAL HEAT ELEMENT LINES ACROSS THE WINDSHIELD). ANY BRIGHT LIGHT VIEWED AT NIGHT TENDS TO BE BLURRED WHICH CAN MAKE DRIVING A BIT MORE DANGEROUS. AS I HAVE SEARCHED, THERE ARE OTHER CAR MAKERS WHO OFFER FRONT HEATED WINDSHIELDS. HAVE THERE BEEN ANY STUDIES REGARDING THIS. *JB |
