| 2005 | STRUCTURE:BODY | JUST AS EXPERIENCED BY OTHERS, MY 2005 LAND ROVER LR3 EXPERIENCED WATER BUILD UP INTO THE DRIVER'S SIDE OF THE VEHICLE (APPROX 3 IN. DEEP OF WATER BOTH IN DRIVER AND REAR PASSENGER AREA AFTER HEAVY RAIN). ACCORDING TO THE DEALERSHIP, WATER DRIPPED ALONG THE FRAME ON WHICH THE WINDSHIELD IS MOUNTED AFTER A HEAVY RAIN AND FLOODED THE INSIDE. THIS WAS APPARENTLY DUE TO CLOGGED DRAINAGE TUBES. A FEW DAYS LATER, THE PARKING BRAKE FAILED TO OPERATE AND THE WARNING LIGHT FOR THE SYSTEM CAME ON. THE PARKING BRAKE WAS NEVER REPAIRED / IS STILL NOT OPERABLE. ALTHOUGH THE DEALERSHIP SAID THE TUBES WERE FIXED, THIS FLOODING OCCURRENCE HAS HAPPENED 4 MORE TIMES. NO RECOMMENDATIONS WERE GIVEN TO AVOID FUTURE OCCURRENCES, OR GUARANTEES GIVEN THAT ADDITIONAL SYSTEMS AFFECTED BY WATER DAMAGE (INCLUDING ONES VITAL TO SUPPORTING THE VEHICLE IN MOTION) WILL NOT FAIL. *TR |
| 2005 | POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION:CONTROL MODULE (TCM, PCM) | MY 2005 LR3 HAD NUMEROUS PROBLEMS WITH THE AIR SUSPENSION. THE COMPRESSOR HAD TO BE REPLACED 2 TIMES, AND I HAD 2 OR 3 DIFFERENT SOFTWARE UPDATES. RECENTLY IT STARTED WITH TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS, ALSO AFFECTING THE ELECTRONIC PARKING BRAKE. FIRST TIME IN JAN 07 CAR WAS TOWED TO DEALER, WHO SAID IT JUST NEEDED A SOFTWARE UPDATE. THE SECOND TIME JUST NOW IN APRIL I GOT TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS, ABS WARNING, SUSPENSION FAILURE. DEALER TOLD ME THAT WAS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH LR3 AND NOTHING TO WORRY, IT JUST WAS ELECTRONIC AND NEEDED AGAIN ANOTHER COMPUTER UPDATE. BUT HOW CAN I KNOW IT IS STILL SAFE? I ALSO HAVE INTERMITTENT PROBLEMS WITH WINDOW SWITCHES AND STEERING WHEEL MOUNTED CONTROLS WHO GO TOTALLY CRAZY. *JB |
