2003 RR a very dangerous vehicle!

[theborg]

This is my first lemon. I thought Land Rover was a quality operation, boy, was I mistaken. My 2003 had the steering column replaced, steering wheel motor failure, noisy ride (wheels/tires/brakes???); on a steep expressway hill it begin to slow down and would not accelerate; and yesterday on the very dangerous expressway, the wheels begin to bounce like crazy (I thought all the balancing weights had popped off) then it emitted a loud squeal and grinding noise that killed the transmission and suddenly lost any ability to accelerate. In short it lost all power and fortunately no 18-wheelers were riding my bumper because I was only able to coast from the fast lane to the left hand side of the beltway (expressway) and wait for a tow truck. Is this the dreaded differential problem? Don't know yet. I hope to find out next week. I really thought I was going to be killed, but thank God, the other motorists slowed down and let me coast to safety. While waiting on the side of the expressway, three cars and one truck crossed the lane nearly hitting me. If this is what RR is all about, they can keep them. In nine years of owning Ford Explorers, the only thing that broke, was the rear window wiper. Hopefully Ford can fix the RR's many and very dangerous problems. RR is a beautiful vehicle...but it is also a very dangerous vehicle as currently assembled.
