2006 LAND ROVER LR3 Complaints

The sunroof shattered when a door was opened. Vehicle was not in motion. Tiny shards of glass fell all over front seats and console of vehicle and continued to fall while driving home.

SUSPENSION FAULT LIGHT COMES ON WHEN DRIVING. VEHICLE MOVES UP AND DOWN. I HAVE SEEN MORE THAN NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ON THE AIR COMPRESSOR AND FAULTY SENSORS. WHY AREN'T THEY BEING REPAIRED BY LAND ROVER. A VEHICLE OF THIS TYPE AND COST SHOULD NOT HAVE THIS PROBLEM. ARE THEY WAITING FOR TIME TO RUN OUT?

UPON STOPPING QUICKLY OR SUDDENLY THE VEHICLE'S ENGINE STALLS CREATING VERY DANGEROUS CONDITIONS FOR DRIVER. HAPPENED ON HIGHWAY AND INTERSECTION TO DATE AND NEARLY CREATED TWO SERIOUS ACCIDENTS SURELY WOULD HAVE BEEN FATAL HAD THEY OCCURRED

FAULT WITH SUNROOF DRAIN TUBES. TUBES BECOME EITHER BLOCKED OR ERODED, AND WATER LEAKING INTO THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER FLOORBOARD. UNDER THE DRIVER'S SIDE FLOOR ARE MANY ELECTRICAL WIRES. AS A RESULT OF WATER ACCUMULATING UNDER FLOOR, ELECTRICAL FUNCTIONS OF CAR MIGHT FAIL SUCH AS NAVIGATION FAILURE, VOICE COMMAND, KEYLESS ENTRY. CAR ALSO FAILED TO MOVE FROM PARKED POSITION AS A RESULT OF THE WATER DESTROYING SENSORS. COST OVER $800.00 TO REPLACE THE SENSOR.

WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY IN SLOW TRAFFIC, ELECTRONIC PARK BRAKE FAILURE FIRST WARNING FLASHED AND ENGINE SUDDENLY LOST POWER ALL LIGHTS THEN GRADUALLY APPEARING WITH A TRANSMISSION WARNING NEXT ETC ETC. LUCKILY I WAS NEAR AN EXIT WHERE I WAITED ON A TOW. I THEN WHILE WAITING NOTICED THAT MY TRANS SELECTOR CAN MOVE OUT OF PARK WITH THE KEY IN MY HAND. MY COMPLAINT IS PRINCIPALLY THAT LAND ROVER WILL NOT SYMPATHIZE WITH ME ON THE FACT THAT BECAUSE OF SUCH A SAFETY HAZARD THAT THEIR RELEVANT RECALLS SHOULD EXTEND UNTIL THE SYSTEM IS FIXED PROPERLY AND NOT JUST UNTIL THE WARENTEE IS OVER.

SUSPENSION FAULT LIGHT CAME ON, DEALER SAYS THE COMPRESSOR NEEDS TO BE REPLACED, $1600 FOR A PART THAT SEEMS TO BE A VERY POPULAR PROBLEM WITH LR3. WHY THERE HASN'T BEEN A RECALL, OR A SERVICE BULLETIN ON THIS IS BEYOND ME. *TR
