I received a safety recall notice from land rover for my son's 1995 range rover. Safety recall action b156- fuel tank cracking. I took the car to the local land rover for repair and they wanted to charge me $400.00 to repair the vehicle. Stating that if they damaged the fuel pump during the recall, I was responsible to purchase a new on and have it installed (part number wfe500740k).

What 1995 Land Rover Range Rover owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
My car does not have airbags. I bought the car from the convention center auto dealership on september 11, 2002. Yesterday I went to sell the car and discovered that it is illegal for them to have sold me the car without airbags.
Recall 95v157000 concerning pulley crankshaft. Consumer was concerned that vehicle lost power steering assist while driving 50 MPH. This was due to the disengagement of the engine pulley. Consumer contacted the dealer. Dealer informed the consumer that recall repairs were already performed.
While consumer was driving vehicle caught on fire. Vehicle was totaled. Consumer found recall 98i149000 on the website.
The vehicle had been to the dealer on 4 occasions regarding problems with the front and rear suspension.
A fire started in engine compartment while driving. Local fire department arrived and put out the fire. Informed consumer that fire was due to a fuel leakage.
Lost all steering. Steering wheel totally disconnected. Repairs were replace steering wheel coupler, cruise casette and rotary coupler, rear tie rod assembly. The whole thing snapped, moments before pulling onto the highway - catastrophic failure, lucky no one was killed. Dealer says car was in an accident (it was not ). Repair person said failure would have occurred as an immediate result of an accident. Car driven the night before, no accident, ever, no problems before complete failure. Car was being driven when failure occurred.
Driver,passenger latch-window assembly haved failed 4 times (2 each door). Unable to exit vehicle. Repaired 2 times on each door.
The air billows failed under normal circumstances, it took the dealer approx. 1 month to repair at a cost of $1,600. Within 24 hours of receiving the vehicle back, the engine siezed. The manufacturer was to attempt to repair with a refurbed engine, (estimated repair cost to be approx. $3,000 - $6,000.) it has been over two months, and the dealer has not progressed at all with the repair. The dealer has also refused a loaner vehicle, obviously due to the extended time required to attempt the repair. The dealer has failed to communicate any progress to date. All communications have been made by myself in an effort to inquire about any progress. None to date to report. I am extremely frustrated at the level of service received to date, and am suspicious of the huge and financially severe problematic circumstances leading to this report. One would not believe these problems occuring simultaneously to be normal of a vehicle of this caliber. That is why people buy this vehicle, for it's dependability and superior performance marketed by the manufacturer. It has not been the case here.
Consumer was traveling about 45mph on a side street and she hit a patch of ice and lost control of vehicle, and hit guardrail. Vehicle was up side down. Seat belt locked on her which was a plus. But, dual airbags didn't deploy.
