Hey folks, I have a new Range Rover Sport.
Was driving on unplowed road yesterday covered with a couple feet of packed snow. Several cars were in a line driving down the canyon including some basic 2 wheel drive cheapo cars and my new RRS was the only one that spun into a 360 and a half and off into the ditch and got buried so deep I couldn't open my door. Luckily a $2000 old truck behind me had a chain and pulled me out no problem.
So, I'm struggling with this. My friend has an old Discovery and it frequently fishtails for no reason just driving down a snow road. Is this a common thing with Land Rovers? One would think the vehicle marketed as the best offroad vehicle would do better than the 2-wheel drive Chevy Malibus and $2000 old trucks that were on the road with me yesterday.
It was a bit embarrassing to say the least, but I'm more concerned with this being a real problem with Land Rover. I've never owned a vehicle before that fishtails and goes into a spin for no reason.
I don't have snow tires, which could explain lack of traction. But why do Land Rovers spin out and lose total control??????
