Vehicle in motion traveling at approx 5-7 MPH. Zip code 06615 when 3 ABS sensor lights went on 1. Hill descent 2. Abs 3.traction control. Recent ABS shuttle switch replaced for same reported sensor lights failure. Vehicle was not on an incline and at an intersection and light. After passing intersection cars were entering street from side. Tried to slow down as car pulled out and could not. Another car pulled out.. Tried to move around car since car would not slow down. Upon putting more pressure anti lock vibration began and car had sensation of ' locking up ' on a wheel and felt as if the car was either sliding or 'not having any brake' control. And steering seemed to be affected. Had to cross oncoming car lane to veer away from cars pulling into my line as car was not handling properly. Had to go off the far left side of road onto sidewalk, grass of a private residence lawn and went through a fence. When I took my foot off the brake and began to brake again the sensation was as if pressure was not pumped into brake line and was able to then stop the car. This is the second time I could not stop the vehicle from antilock failure. The first time I thought it was weather related road conditions however I was traveling slowly approaching a red light and had to go through the light because car would not stop. The car has significant damage. Four other cars were avoided as I lost control failure of brakes. Wheel sensor speed and steering. No one injured. Vehicle was on main street at lunch time when there was activity on main street. 3 recalls for this model on record. 1 recall for this car was drive shaft related failure and vibration in advance. I experienced this and the drive shaft did brakedown on a small road causing car to go out of control. Fireman 1st responder helped me to safety. Driveshaft recall for 2004 model was in 2012. Police report: 16-10673.

2003 land rover discovery ii "slabs control unit" otherwise known by the owner & mechanics as the "3 amigos (ABS,hdc,tc)...... I am sure you have been advised of the problem because the internet has several unhappy owners complaining. This unit controlsthe 4-wheel anti-lock braking, hill descent and 4 wheel traction control along with self leveling suspension. To correct the problem the dealer wants to install a new unit at a cost of over $1500 to 2500 depending on labor cost. Please let me know if you are already conducting an investigation in the above, any help would be appreciated..

1. Applied the brakes. 2. Every time I apply brakes after vehicle has been started 3. Dealer claims there is nothing which can be done... Apparently all such models have this issue, which generates the question as to why land rover has not been made to do something about this, much like what would have been done had such an issue been incurred with a chevrolet, ford or toyota? This issue has already been recorded as service bulletin the federal safety agency item no. 10016118? This demonstrates there are recognized problems with the ABS modulator and system, resulting in the ABS/ emergency brake / hill descent and traction control lamps illuminating on the dash, which may cause the ABS system to incur failure when needed? The number of vehicle owners incurring this problem indicates there is a serious inherent defect within this vehicle, which I and many others cannot understand why such have not been recalled... There has apparently been another recall for an ABS component in this vehicle (the federal safety agency recall campaign id no. 04v005000) and this preliminary recall should also be amended to include this issue with the ABS system? This issue is well documented and widespread among this particular model and the federal safety agency should finally require land rover to correct such.

Failure of antilock service brakes. Defect first identified in march 2005, when hdc,ABS,tc and red brake light came on. Vehicle taken to land rover of wood bridge where they diagnosed a loose connector. These lights came on intermittently over the last several years, but went out on their own usually. In late 2008 the lights came back on and stayed on. Car taken back to lr in dec. 17, 2008 with 38805 miles. Failure of the ABS modulator was diagnosed, and warranty coverage was denied, despite what was a failure to diagnose and correct the problem in 2005. Repair was to be $3000 plus labor. I subsequently learned that there have been recalls issued for this problem and it appears the my VIN number falls within the range. However lr refuses to cover this repair. I have made 2 attempts with customer service to have lr repair this defect under warranty coverage without success. I have also noted that there are other similar complaints for the same problem and lr continues to avoid their responsibility to have safe vehicles on the road.

Failure of ABS system while driving. 3-4 times per week while city driving the ABS/hill descent/traction control warning lights and chimes come on. The system typically resets after stopping and re-starting the vehicle (sometimes requires neutral start to reset). This is similar to a failure I had in a 1999 model that required over $3,000 in repairs to replace a failed ABS pump. Land rover insists that there is no fault code left on the obc after these events, but all indications point to a systemic and on-going problem with the series of ABS pumps used over the years. This seems to be an important safety system in the vehicle, but lr seems to have no interest in addressing it.

I have a 1999 discovery ii. The ABS warning lights on the dash have always been on; nicknamed as you might already know "the three amigos" by thousands of land rover owners. The three amigos refers to the three warning lights on dashboard: ABS, tc-traction control, downhill descent. I was told by the local dealer in encino, ca it was the ABS modulator. They didn't put it on paper, but they said verbally if you don't get the "ABS modulator replaced, you will have brake failure. Yet, land rover won't recall it. Tens of thousands of people have complained about the "three amigos", caused by the ABS modulator. This is not an isolated case. Next time you drive by a 1999 land rover, look on their dashboard, and you will see 3 warning lights on. Land rover, needs to recall this, and replace the ABS modulator.

The defect is already recorded as service bulletin the federal safety agency item no. 10016118. In short, there is an issue with the shuttle valves in the ABS system, which result in the ABS/traction control/hill descent warning lamp illumination in the dash, and more importantly may prevent the ABS from activating as needed. Due to the overwhelming number of owners experiencing this same specific issue, a recall is very appropriate. There are inherent problems with the ABS in these cars, as is preliminary evident in the fact that there has already been a recall for another component in the ABS (the federal safety agency recall campaign id no. 04v005000). This issue is very widespread among owner's of this automobile. The safety system of the automobile is compromised and the federal safety agency should require land rover to finally address this problem.
