MY VEHICLE WAS DRIVING JUST FINE AND THEN THE NEXT TIME I WENT TO DRIVE IT WOULDN'T START,THE KEY WOULD NOT TURN. I CALLED MY DAD OVER WHO IS A MECHANIC AND HE ADVISED IT WAS MAYBE THE BATTERY.I ENDED UP CALLING ON M ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE TO HAVE MY CAR TOWED TO A SHOP TO HAVE IT LOOKED AND GET FIXED. THE MECHANIC AFTER A WEEK TOLD ME ABOUT MULTIPLE SCENARIOS IT COULD BE. AFTER DISCONNECTING THE BATTERY THE CAR WAS ABLE TO START AND I DROVE IT TO A DIFFERENT MECHANIC FOR A SECOND OPINION. THIS MECHANIC ADVISED ME TO REPLACE THE IGNITION SWITCH AND I DID AND NOW AFTER TWO MONTHS THE VEHICLE WILL STILL NOT START! SO THEN I LOOKED ONLINE SEARCHING FOR AN ANSWER AND THAT WHEN I DISCOVERED PAGE AFTER PAGE OF PEOPLE ONLINE POSTING IN FORUMS LOOKING FOR ANSWERS TO THE SAME ISSUES WITH THERE 03 RANGE ROVER ,WITH THE EXACT SAME ISSUES SOUNDS MECHANICS TELLING THEM THE SAME DIAGNOSIS! I HAVE COME TO THE CONCLUSION AFTER TALKING TO RANGE ROVER DIRECTLY THAT AFTER RUNNING MY VIN THE STEERING COLUMN HAD ALREADY BEEN REPLACED BEFORE WITH THE PREVIOUS OWNER!. AND ON THE FORUMS PEOPLE WERE SAYING THAT THEY DID THE SAME REPLACEMENTS OF PARTS AND IT EITHER WORKED IN SOME CASES OR OTHERS THE PROBLEM CAME BACK! SO I'VE CONCLUDED THAT RANGER ROVER SHOULD DO A FORMAL RECALL ON THIS PART. BECAUSE WHAT IF THIS PROBLEM HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING OR WHILE OUT ON THE HIGHWAY YOU STOP FOR GAS AND THEN YOUR CAR WILL JUST NOT START! *TR

MY 2003 LAND ROVER RANGE ROVER HSE HAD A FAILURE OF THE FRONT DIFFERENTIAL SPILNES, AXLE SHAFT, DIFFERENTIAL UNIT AND DRIVE SHAFT WHICH CAUSED TOTAL LOSS OF VEHICLE PROPULSION AT 60 MILES PER HOUR ON A BUSY HIGHWAY DURING RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC. THE VEHICLE HAD TO BE TOWED TO LAND ROVER NORTH SCOTTSDALE WHERE IT STILL SITS BECAUSE NEITHER THE EXTENDED WARRANTY COMPANY NOR THE LAND ROVER DEALERSHIP WILL CLAIM RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE REPAIRS WHICH ARE IN EXCESS OF $4,000. I ALSO HAD A FAILURE OF THE RETRACTABLE STEERING WHEEL WHICH RESULTED IN A DIAGNOSIS OF HAVING TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE STEERING COLUMN. *JB

DT: THE CONTACT STATED THE STEERING WHEEL CAME LOOSE AND FELL INTO THE CONTACT'S LAP WHILE DRIVING. HE WAS ABLE TO MANUALLY RAISE THE STEERING WHEEL UP INTO THE COLUMN AND DRIVE THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER. THE DEALER DISCOVERED A PLASTIC PART ON THE STEERING COLUMN ASSEMBLY BROKE. THIS PART WAS REPLACED WITH A METAL PART. ALSO, THE TELESCOPIC STEERING ADJUSTED AUTOMATICALLY. THIS CAUSED THE POSITION OF THE STEERING WHEEL TO CHANGE RANDOMLY WHILE DRIVING. THE DEALER ATTEMPTED TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM BY REPROGRAMMING THE SOFTWARE. NO FURTHER REPAIRS HAVE BEEN MADE AT THIS TIME. *AK UPDATED 1/23/2006 - *NM
