Reading the numbers

The median odometer reading at the time of complaint was 33,000 miles.
In owners' own words
Dt: contact states there is an ongoing problem with the air suspension. A warning light came on, indicating a problem with the suspension. The vehicle has been to a service dealer, but they were unable to correct the problem. The dealer stated the air compressor was defective. They have replaced the air compressor four times, but this replacement did not correct the problem. *Ak updated 12/27/05. Suspension · reported at 9,200 miles
The air ride suspension is totally dead. There was a recall years ago but I didnt get it done. Now when I search recalls its not there, because someone thinks the work was completed. That is simply false. I can barely drive this vehicle now because the left side dropped due to air suspension. The service guy told me the suspension was built improperly.

Tires are wearing on the inside quickly. Changed the tires already at 32,000 miles and almost need to change them again at 47,000. Was told that the suspension was built wrong on the truck. Landrover needs to fix this problems and get news tires. This is not normal. Suspension · reported at 47,000 miles
