Since buying our land rover discovery in february 2004 we've experienced numerous recalls and problems with the car. Fortunately, it is still under the manufacturer's warranty. The problem of concern at this point in time is as follows: when braking, the land rover would occasionally lurch forward a little bit...almost jumping. On oct. 28, 2005 at approximately 2:45 pm I pulled out of my subdivision onto 180th st. In elkhorn, ne. I was heading south towards a stop light at the junction of 180th st. And pacific. There where numerous cars stopped at the light. I believe the light had turned green and cars were beginning to move, but I was still braking slowly starting to move forward as the cars in front of me began to move. I felt my land rover lurch forward and my body was immediately pressed back into my seat. At that point the land rover made impact with a piece of toro irrigation machinery being towed by the van in front of me and my body was thrown forward. I was wearing my seat belt. My airbag did not deploy. There was over $7700 worth of damage done to the front of the land rover.

My son had an accident in our 1995 land rover discovery. He lost control and hit a parked car with the front of the land rover and the insurance company considers the land rover a total loss. Luckily no one was injured, but we are concerned that the airbags did not deploy. The insurance adjuster told us that with this much damage the airbags should have deployed. I thought it might be something that some regulatory agency should be aware of. We purchase vehicles with safety equipment and have no way of determining if they will actually work when needed.
