I have a 2010 land rover lr2 which is equipped with a heated windshield. The windshield has the electric heating unit running vertical throughout. I noticed that as you are driving the vehicle for a period of time the electric elements become a distraction because there is not a clear view through the windshield. I believe that this can become a safety issue. Please investigate before I end up having an accident or someone else does that owns a land rover lr2.
Tl* the contact owns a 2010 land rover lr2. The contact stated that the passenger's side air bag warning light illuminated. The contact took the vehicle to the dealer and was told that the module for the passenger side air bag needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure and the current mileages were 53,000. ..updated 07-17-13
I started to hear a whirring noise so took the car to a repair center (within 48 hours) that works on land rovers (there are no longer any land rover dealerships in vt) and they found that the rear differential was deteriorated (viscous fluid, metal chips shredding). The car was unsafe to drive - they found that, when they ordered the replacement part, the supplier is getting this problem on this model 4-5 times per month.
Out of nowhere the rear end of the vehicle started making these loud, roaring and humming noises that eventually turned into a grinding noise. First thought the problem was the brakes; inner & outer brakes as well as the rotors were replaced with no changes, noises still continue. After that; all 4 tires were replaced with a full alignment, nothing seemed to help the noises at all.
Loud whine/growling sound coming from drive train at all speeds. Grew louder over a period of two weeks. Had to have the rear differential replaced at only 35,890 miles due to bearing failure.
