My 2006 Range Rover rolls away while shifted into Park. This matches the exact defect of Land Rover Recall B023 / the federal safety agency Campaign 05V502000, but Land Rover tells me my VIN is excluded. The original recall parameters were too narrow and missed my vehicle.

Front differential making grinding noise,shop says it needs to be replaced.
Started hearing rubbing sound while driving and gets louder when picking up speed, also thumping sound when stepping on gas pedal. Took it to auto mechanic and was told I need a new differential assembly for front.
The front wheels locked up and caused the car to veer dangerously and screech to a halt. This was due to a failed front differential which, upon more online research is a common issue with this model. It was replaced by the dealer at a cost of $3,000.
Vehicle began making a mid to high pitch whining/grinding sound coming from the rear of the vehicle. The sound is present at most speeds now. Land rover dealer told me it was the rear differential beginning to fail, and would cost 2200.00 to replace. They also told me that land rover north america is aware of the defective differentials, but essentially could care less.
While driving on gwb, I suddenly felt like the underneath of the car had gotten stuck on something & then the car came to a sudden stop, leading to the car behind me hitting my bumper. My mechanic told me it was my front differential & was not covered in my vehicle's year recall.

I had a 2006 range rover super charge with engine/transmission problem and coolant problems. This problem existed from 5,000 miles all the way to 64,000. I kept complaining and bringing the car back to the first place it broke down which was in georgia. I tried to take the truck to a service place in new jersey but was told I had to bring the car back to the first place where it was so called repaired! Which to me was too far! After bringing the car and complaining to land rover corporate no one would help me and the transmission went on the car and the radiator which I was forced to pay for both even though I was still under warranty and the problem was never fixed for the whole time I had the vehicle! This created a hardship for me and it cost me over $15,000 which I paid and when I returned the vehicle I am now being sued for over $12,000 dollars which sounds crazy to me and the service manager who I complained about was later fired for not honoring warranties and being disrespectful! Please help me! After researching this site I see that this is a on going problem with range rover!
Vehicle shuts down on slight incline( traction system engages) dealer say normal, happens on a daily basis.
