I WAS DRIVING AT ~10-15 MPH AROUND LAKE MEAD IN NV. AS I PULLED TO A STOP SIGN SMOKE BEGAN TO COME FROM UNDER THE HOOD OF THE CAR. AT FIRST I THOUGHT THE CAR WAS OVERHEATING AND TRIED TO NAVIGATE IT TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. ALL THE CARS SYSTEMS WENT OUT BEFORE I GOT IT OFF THE ROAD (30 SECONDS FROM THE FIRST SMOKE) AND THE SMOKE WAS BILLOWING OUT FROM UNDER THE HOOD. I JUMPED OUT AND TRIED TO OPEN THE HOOD, STILL THINKING IT WAS OVERHEATING, BUT I WAS UNABLE TO FIND THE CATCH. I DECIDED TO MOVE AWAY FROM THE CAR JUST IN CASE. I WALKED ABOUT 10 PACES AWAY FROM THE CAR AND TURNED TO SEE FIRE DRIPPING DOWN FROM THE FRONT. I DECIDED TO CALL 911. THE FRONT OF THE CAR WAS ENGULFED IN FLAMES BEFORE I COULD DIAL. BY THE TIME THE 911 OPERATOR PICKED UP THE CAR WAS ENGULFED UP TO THE MIDDLE OF THE BODY AND THE TIRES BEGAN EXPLODING (THIS COULD BE HEARD BY THE 911 OPERATOR). BY THE TIME I GOT OFF THE PHONE THE CAR WAS COMPLETELY ENGULFED (THIS WAS LESS THAN 3 MIN FROM SEEING THE FIRST SMOKE). THE CAR BURNED COMPLETELY, LEAVING NO TRACE OF ANYTHING BUT THE METAL FRAME. WHAT IS MOST DISTURBING IS THAT THE BODY/INTERIOR BURNED AS IF THEY HAD BEEN DOUSED WITH AN INCENDIARY. THEY WENT UP SO FAST AND SHOULDN'T BE FLAMMABLE AT ALL. JUST TO EMPHASIZE THIS, I WAS HAULING A SM TRAILER THAT HAD A CANVAS COVER AND THE TARP WAS ONLY SCORCHED AT THE FRONT; NOT BURNING AT ALL. I FOUND MANY OTHER FIRES OF THIS RANGE ROVER JUST LIKE MINE REPORTED ON THE INTERNET. I AM FAIRLY CERTAIN THAT THESE FIRES ARE CAUSED BY A VERY FLAMMABLE HOOD LINER AND THAT THESE CARS ARE EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. WHEN I BOUGHT MY RANGE ROVER USED I HAD NOTICED THAT THE HOOD LINER WAS BURNED WHERE IT WAS CLOSEST TO THE TOP OF THE ENGINE AND IT SEEMED TO BE CAUSED BY THE ENGINE HEAT, BUT I HADN'T RULED OUT HUMAN ACTION. I WAS CONSIDERING TEARING THE LINER OUT WHEN MY CAR BURNED UP (I HAD NOT OWNED THE CAR LONG). *TR
TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 LAND ROVER RANGE ROVER. WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED, THE CONTACT SMELLED SMOKE AND PULLED THE VEHICLE OFF THE ROAD. HE NOTICED FLAMES UNDER THE HOOD OF HIS VEHICLE. WITHIN MINUTES, THE ENTIRE VEHICLE WAS ENGULFED IN FLAMES. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT EXTINGUISHED THE FIRE AND A REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED AND TOWED TO A JUNK YARD. THERE WERE NO INJURIES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 77,000.
WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH ON I-80, MY 2000 RANGE ROVER ENGINE CUT OUT, AFTER PULLING TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, A SMALL FLAME WAS VISIBLE UNDER THE REAR ENGINE. AN ENTIRE FIRE EXTINGUISHER WAS EMPTIED UNDER THE CAR, YET THE VEHICLE BURNED UP 100%. A TOTAL LOSS OF ALL CONTENTS OF THE VEHICLE. MY SON WAS LUCKY TO ESCAPE FROM THE VEHICLE. THE RANGE ROVER HAD 128,000 AND WAS REGULARLY SERVICED BY THE DEALER. THE CAR IS AVAILABLE FOR VIEWING AT JACKS TOWING YARD IN SACRAMENTO, CALIFORNIA. *JB

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 LAND ROVER RANGE ROVER. WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS THE VEHICLE MOVES TO THE LEFT AND RIGHT AND DOES NOT STAY IN THE MIDDLE OF THE LANE. THE DEALER WAS CALLED AND STATED THAT THE ESTIMATED REPAIR COST COULD BE $2500. THERE ARE NO WARRANTIES OR RELATED RECALLS. THE LAND ROVER MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CALLED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 65,000.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 LAND ROVER RANGE ROVER. WHENEVER THE CONTACT DEPRESSED THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL, SHE WOULD HEAR A LOUD NOISE. THERE ARE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED WHEN THE FAILURE OCCURS. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE INTAKE MANIFOLD DEVELOPED A LARGE HOLE AND, BECAUSE IT WAS A HOLE INSTEAD OF A SPLIT, THE FAILURE WOULD NOT BE INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. SHE CALLED THE MANUFACTURER, BUT HAS NOT RECEIVED A RESPONSE. THE INTAKE MANIFOLD HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 111,000.

DT: THE CONSUMER STATES THAT 2000 LAND ROVER RANGE ROVER CAME OUT OF THE PARK LOCK FUNCTION. THIS HAPPENED THREE TIMES. THE CONSUMER WAS IN THE VEHICLE ALL THREE TIMES, WAS ABLE TO HIT THE BRAKE, AND PUT THE PARKING BRAKE ON. THE CONSUMER TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF ALL THREE TIMES. THE CONSUMER HAD TO PUT THE PARKING BRAKE ON EVERY TIME THAT HE GOT OUT OF THE VEHICLE. THE CONSUMER CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND ASKED ABOUT A RECALL. THE DEALERSHIP TOLD THE CONSUMER THAT THEY WERE UNAWARE OF ANY RECALL ON LAND ROVERS FOR TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. THE DEALERSHIP DID NOT BELIEVE THE CONSUMER WHEN HE TOLD THEM ABOUT RECALL 00V377000 LISTED ON THE NHTSA WEBSITE. THE CONSUMER HAS NOT CONTACTED THE MANUFACTURER YET, BUT WAS GOING TO DO SO. THE CONSUMER WAS GOING TO HAVE TRANSMISSION FLUSHED TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM, BUT QUESTIONED IF LAND ROVER WAS GOING TO REIMBURSE HIM FOR REPAIR COST. *AK
COOLANT WAS FOUND LEAKING ONTO THE FLOOR OF THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. IN ADDITION, ONE OF THE COOLANT HOSES DEVELOPED A LEAK, CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO BEGIN OVERHEATING. THE DEALER REPLACED THE HOSE, BUT ALSO REPORTED THE HEATER CORE O-RINGS NEEDED TO BE SWAPPED. THE O-RINGS CAUSED THE ORIGINAL PROBLEM OF COOLANT LEAKING TO THE VEHICLE'S INTERIOR. AFTER A SHORT ONLINE INVESTIGATION, THIS APPEARS TO BE A PROBLEM FOR QUITE A FEW RANGE ROVER OWNERS.*AK
ONGOING PROBLEM WITH THE AUTOMATIC STABILITY CONTROL SUSPENSION WHICH FAILED TO OPERATE WHILE DRIVING 50 MPH.*JB PLEASE PROVIDE FURTHER INFORMATION.
CONSUMER TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP ON DECEMBER 2003 FOR REGULAR MAINTENANCE, AND THE TECHNICIAN DETERMINED THAT THE TRANSFER CASE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. *AK THE CONSUMER WAS TOLD THE PART WAS UNAVAILABLE. *JB
I PURCHASED A 2000 RANGE ROVER FROM BEAR VALLEY ROVERS IN ATLANTA AND THE VEHICLE WAS/IS IN PRISTINE SHAPE . WHEN I PURCHASED IT, IT HAD 43,000 MILES WITH 5,000 MILES REMAINING ON THE WARRANTY. AT 53,000 THE TRANSMISSION WENT BAD AND HAD TO BE REPLACED. THIS IS NOT NORMAL THAT A TRANSMISSION WOULD ONLY LAST 53,000 MILES AND THE VEHICLE HAS NEVER BEEN OFF-ROAD A DAY IN ITS LIFE. *JB
