IN ADDITION, THE ENGINE CONTINUED TO RUN WHEN THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO TURN OFF THE IGNITION. THE CONTACT CALLED LAND ROVER PEABODY (247 NEWBURY ST, PEABODY, MA 01960, (978) 535-9200) AND WAS INFORMED THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 130,000.

I HAD JUST DRIVEN 3 HOURS TO CHICAGO FROM GALESBURG, I WAS PREPARED TO ENTER 90/94 AT STONEY ISLAND , BUT I DECIDED TO STOP OFF BECAUSE MY CELL PHONE WAS NOT CHARGING MY CIGARETTE LIGHTER WAS NOT WORKING. I KNOW ENOUGH ABOUT CARS TO CHANGE A LITTLE FUSE. I POPPED MY HOOD TO CHECK OUT THE FUSES, TO REPLACE IT. I PULLED THE FUSE FOR THE LIGHTER IT WAS NOT BLOWN, I PUT IT BACK. I DECIDED TIME IS GETTING LATE, FORGET IT, I WILL BUY AND EXTERNAL CHARGER IN INDIANA. WHEN I REPLACED THE FUSE COVER AND CLOSED THE HOOD. THE CAR WOULD NOT START, THE BCS WARNING CAME UP, AND THE HAZARDS BEGAN FLASHING, AND CRASH WARNING LIGHT CAME UP. I COULD NOT PUSH BRAKES, TURN STEERING WHEEL, TURN OFF LIGHTS, REMOVE KEY, PUT IN NEUTRAL, LOCK CAR OR START THE CAR. I HAD TO GET TOWED TO THE LR DEALERSHIP IN CHICAGO WHERE MY VEHICLE REMAINS. I AM SUBMITTING THIS BECAUSE LR SAID THAT THIS IS A RARE OCCURRENCE AND THEY HAVE DONE VERY LITTLE OF PROVIDING ANSWERS. I WAS PREPARED TO DRIVE3 THRU THE ALLEGHENY'S, WHAT IF THIS WOULD HAVE HAPPENED AS I WAS TRAVELING BACK TO DC? WHO ELSE COULD HAVE BEEN HARMED BY MY SYSTEM SEIZING UP? I LITERALLY WOULD HAVE LOST CONTROL OF MY VEHICLE. ESPECIALLY WITH 36K MILES AND STILL UNDER WARRANTY. *TR
