In owners’ own words

The dealership tried to sell me this 2016 red Range Rover …. I took it to a mechanic and paid to have it inspected and it has MANY SAFETY CONCERNS. I didn’t buy it, BUT it’s back on their lot for SALE Hoover Volkswagen Lithia Springs 1981 Thornton Rd Lithia Springs, GA 30122 (404) 282-3617 Please SAVE A LIFE.. the next person may not have extra money to pay for an inspection and get killed or kill somebody on the street

The steering knuckles on our 2016 Land Rover Range Rover cracked at the upper ball joint. This issue has been discovered in Canada as well as the UK. Land Rover has recalled vehicles in both Canada and the UK, but not the USA market. The recall in the UK is recall number R/2022/341 (7303). Land Rover wants over $3,000 just for the parts. I spent a lot of money and my time replacing these so my family was safe. Here is my video on the subject: [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

Driving down the road all of a sudden, truck veers to the left. I regained control and pulled over. Found left front wheel leaning in. Upon inspection, found that spindle was broken where the ball joint meets the spindle. The metal develops a crack then separates without notice. Autoshop stated that this is Very common and has been recalled in other countries such as Canada and the UK for these vehicles. Why has this not been a forced recall in the US is beyond me. This is Very dangerous as I could have veered into incoming traffic.
Steering mileage not reported 6.6 yr in service crash / fire / tow
