2006 Land Rover LR3 Problems

HOC SYSTEM NOT AVAILABLE. TRANSMISSION FAULT STEERING WHEEL SUSPENSION

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?

DANGEROUS UNEVEN TIRE WEAR. *TR

UNEVEN TIRE WEAR ON THE 2006 LAND ROVER LR3, LAND ROVER KNOWS THERE IS A DEFECT BUT HAS DONE NOTHING TO REPAIR. I AM ON MY 3RD SET OF TIRES AND MY LR LR3 ONLY HAS 40,000 MILES. AFTER DOING RESEARCH, THERE SEEMS TO BE A LOT OF CONSUMERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. LAND ROVER JUST GIVES ME EXCUSE AFTER EXCUSE AND I HAVE TO PAY FOR THE NEW TIRES AND AN ALIGNMENT. THE WEAR ON THE TIRE IS SO SEVERE IT CAN BE REALLY DANGEROUS ON THE ROADS. *TR

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.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2006 LAND ROVER LR3. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE AT A COMPLETE STOP, THE VEHICLE UNEXPECTEDLY SURGED FORWARD TWICE AND CRASHED INTO A BUSH. THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE AND THEN CRASHED INTO A BUILDING. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED NO INJURIES. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. THE VEHICLE WAS DEEMED DESTROYED.THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 57,589. UPDATED 12/30/15*LJ *JS

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.

2006 LR3 WITH ONLY 93K MILES HAD THE TIMING CHAIN BREAK WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY AND THE ENGINE IMMEDIATELY SHUT DOWN. THE VEHICLE HAS A FULL SERVICE HISTORY AT AN AUTHORIZED LAND ROVER DEALER SHOWING RECOMMENDED MAINTENANCE HAS BEEN PERFORMED DURING THE LIFE OF THE VEHICLE. THE DAMAGE TO THE ENGINE (VALVES ETC.) IS ESTIMATED AT $5500 TO REPAIR. THE TIMING CHAIN IS MADE OF METAL AND BASED ON INDUSTRY EXPERTISE IS NOT SUPPOSED TO BREAK FOR THE LIFE OF THE ENGINE OR PAST 200,000+ MILES. RESEARCH ONLINE SHOWS THIS HAS HAPPENED TO OTHER LR3 OWNERS WITH VEHICLES WITH LESS THAN 100K MILES. BASED UPON THE EXPECTATIONS FOR THE LIFESPAN OF A TIMING CHAIN AND OTHER SIMILAR INCIDENTS, I BELIEVE THERE MAY BE A DEFECTIVE PART ON THIS VEHICLE ASSOCIATED WITH THE TIMING CHAIN AND IT'S RELATED COMPONENTS. THERE ARE NO MANUFACTURER RECOMMENDED GUIDELINES TO REPLACE THE TIMING CHAIN PRIOR TO 100K MILES AND IT IS EXPECTED TO LAST FAR LONGER THAN 100K MILES BASED UPON NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR FOR THIS VEHICLE. WE HAVE ONLY USED THE VEHICLE US ROADS AS YOU WOULD A TYPICAL AUTOMOBILE (NO OFF-ROADING HOBBIES ETC.) WE ARE PURSUING THIS MATTER WITH LAND ROVER DIRECTLY AND REPORTING THIS AS A SAFETY ISSUE TO ALERT OTHER LR3 OWNERS. *TR

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.

THE RIGHT REAR WHEEL WAS MAKING A HIGH PITCHED NOSE FOR ALMOST 8 MONTHS. I WAS TOLD THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG. EVENTUALLY THE HIGH PITCHED NOISE TURNED INTO A LOUD GRINDING NOISE AND WAS TOLD THE "OUTSIDE" BRAKE,(WHICH HAS NO SENSOR) HAD BEEN LOCKED IN PLACE AND CAUSED THE BREAKS TO WEAR COMPLETELY DOWN TO METAL ON METAL. THIS REQUIRED ME TO BUY NEW BRAKES FOR BOTH SIDES. IT SEEM TO ME TO BE A MALFUNCTION IN THE CAR BUT THE DEALER SAID IT IS A "WEAR AND TEAR" ITEM SO IT IS NOT COVERED BY THE WARRANTY. IF IT WAS JUST WEAR AND TEAR WHY DID ONLY ONE SIDE WEAR DOWN TO THE METAL AND WHY ISN'T THERE A SENSOR FOR THIS. IT APPEARS TO BE A MALFUNCTION IN THE BRAKING SYSTEM IF THERE TRULY IS NO SENSOR FOR THE "OUTSIDE" BRAKE PAD. *TR

I HAD MY LANDROVER LR3 VEHICLE SERVICED AT THE ALEXANDRIA, VA WHILE AT THIS DEALERSHIP I REQUESTED TO HAVE SERVICE WHICH I DISCOVERED WAS ISSUED THROUGH A LANDROVER MANUFACTURE'S BULLETIN COMPLETED ALSO. *TR ON OCTOBER 23, 2007, MY VEHICLE WAS BROUGHT INTO THE BETHESDA, MD LANDROVER DEALERSHIP FOR SERVICING, INCLUDING THE MAINTENANCE WORK, REPAIR OF THE BRAKE LIGHTS AND REPAIR OF THE SUNROOF. THE DEALERSHIP STATED THAT I NEEDED REPLACEMENT TIRES AND AN ALIGNMENT I QUESTIONED THE LOGIC OF THE TIRES PREMATURELY WEARING. I DECIDED TO RESEARCH THE MATTER FURTHER. THESE CONDITIONS EXISTED WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS AT THE BETHESDA, MD LOCATION, BUT WERE NOT TAKEN CARE OF WHICH WAS PART OF THE SERVICE WARRANTY. DANIEL'S PROMISED TO ME THAT HE WOULD TAKE CARE OF THE DIRECTIVE'S COSTS, I RECEIVED A PHONE CALL FROM THE PERSON WHO IDENTIFIED HIMSELF AS DENISE MATIUPA, A SUPERVISOR. DENISE STARTED THE CONVERSATION OFF BY YELLING THAT HE HAD REVIEWED THE NOTES ASSOCIATED WITH THE DECISION TO DENY ME COVERAGE AND WANT TO KNOW WHAT I WANTED. DENISE STATED THAT IT HAD NOT BEEN SERVICED WHEN IT WAS IN BETHESDA, MD. I TOLD DENISE THAT I REQUESTED IT. DENISE STATED THAT HE HAD NO RECORD OF MY REQUEST. I TOLD DENISE, HE ALSO DOESN'T HAVE ANY RECORD OF MY NOT REQUESTING IT. I REMINDED DENISE THAT IF LANDROVER PUTS OUT A DIRECTIVE, THE DEALERSHIPS RECEIVE THEM, NOT THE CUSTOMER. THE SERVICE TICKET ON THE DAY THAT I HAD MY VEHICLE IN BETHESDA, MD CLEARLY NOTES THAT THE TIRES, HENCE, THE SUSPENSION SYSTEM WAS PREMATURELY MALFUNCTIONING AND IT IS THE DEALERSHIP DUTY UNDER THE WARRANTY TO EXECUTE ALL REQUIRED ROUTINE SERVICES. DENISE STATED THAT HE WAS STICKING BY THE DECISION. PLEASE ASSIST ME AS YOU CAN IN OBTAINING A REVERSAL OF THIS DENIAL DECISION. *TR

THE LATCH MECHANISM ON THE TAIL GATE FAILS AND THE VEHICLE WILL NOT OPEN IN AN EMERGENCY TRAPPING ANYONE IN THE 7TH PASSENGER SEAT AREA. *KB

LAND ROVER LR3'S HAVE A FAULTY REAR TAILGATE RELEASE MECHANISM THAT COULD LEAD TO BEING TRAPPED IN THE CAR. MY REAR TAILGATE WOULD NOT OPEN IS CONTROLLED BY AN ELECTRONIC ACTUATOR....SO I LOOKED IN THE OWNERS MANUAL TO SEE WHERE THE MANUAL RELEASE IS....GUESS WHAT THERE IS NOT ONE...SO IF THIS LITTLE CABLE BRAKES THAT IS ATTACHED TO THE REAR TAILGATE ACTUATOR..THERE IS NO WAY TO MANUAL OPEN THE TAILGATE FROM INSIDE OR OUTSIDE OF THE VEHICLE. AFTER LOOKING ON THE INTERNET AT VARIOUS LAND ROVER FORUMS..I HAVE FOUND THIS TO BE A PROBLEM ON LR3'S. IF YOU WHERE UNABLE TO GET THE FRONT DOORS IN THE EVENT OF AN EMERGENCY AND HAD TO EXIT THE REAR...IF THAT CABLE IS BROKE...IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO MANUALLY RELEASE THE REAR TAILGATE..YOU ARE STUCK IN THE CAR..I TOOK THE CAR TO THE LAND ROVER DEALERSHIP AND THERE FIX IS TO JUST REPLACE THE BROKE CABLE/ACTUATOR FOR 500.00...THEY HAVE TO BREAK INTO THE REAR TAILGATE FROM INSIDE THE VEHICLE....RUINING THE TRIM ...WHICH OF COURSE I HAVE TO PAY TO HAVE REPLACED..HENCE THE LARGE BILL.....THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD AND SHOULD BE RECALLED/ADDRESSED BY LANDROVER. *TR

SAFETY ISSUE THE REAR HATCH WILL NOT OPEN PERIOD. IT WILL MAKE A CLICK SOUND BUT WILL NOT RELEASE DOOR TO OPEN IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO OPEN REAR HATCH. *TR

LANDROVER LR 3 HAVE A KNOWN PROBLEM OF HAVING WATER COLLECT IN THE SUNROOF AREA DUE TO BLOCKAGE IN SOME DRAINAGE TUBE FROM DEBRIS. CLEANING OF THESE TUBES IS NOT A REGULAR PART OF MAINTENANCE IF YOU TAKE YOUR VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE OR SERVICE. THE WATER COLLECT AND LEAKS INTO THE CABIN DIRECTLY OVER THE RADIO AND MIDDLE CONSOLE. IT ALSO LEAKS OVER THE DASHBOARD NEAR THE PASSENGER HEAT REGISTER AND IN THE DRIVER'S SIDE DASHBOARD AREA OVER THE HEAT REGISTER. WATER SEEPS INTO THE ELECTRIC SYSTEM (THE MAIN BCM) THAT CONTROLS MANY IMPORTANT FUNCTIONS OF THE VEHICLE OPERATION. SO FAR I HAVE A SHORT IN THE RADIO. MANY OF THE LANDROVER FORUMS ONLINE HAVE SEVERAL CUSTOMERS AND OWNERS OF LANDROVER LR3 THAT HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS PROBLEM. THIS DEFECT IN THE DRAINAGE SYSTEM FOR THE SUNROOF COULD CAUSE SERIOUS DAMAGE / SHORTING OUT OF THE BCM THAT CONTROLS THE ENTIRE VEHICLE.

HELLO- I AM NOT POSITIVE IF THIS IS THE EXACT LOCATION TO BE SENDING THIS. I AM A WITNESS TO A DEFECT OR A MALFUNCTION WHILE DRIVING A 5 MONTH OLD 2006 LAND ROVER LR3. WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY IN THE MOUNTAINS OF COLORADO, MY CAR'S BRAKES LOCKED UP WHILE DRIVING AROUND 68 MPH. THIS CAUSED ME TO SKID TO A COMPLETE STOP ON THE HIGHWAY. HOWEVER, WHILE COMING TO A STOP MY SEAT BELT DID NOT ENGAGE, CAUSING ME TO HIT MY HEAD AND TEAR MUSCLES IN MY BACK, WHICH I HAD CHECKED OUT AT THE DOCTOR. AFTER THIS HAPPENED, I WAS STILL AT A COMPLETE STOP ON THE HIGHWAY NOT ALLOWING ME TO DRIVE OR MOVE OUT OF THE WAY FROM ON COMING TRAFFIC. AS THE STATE TROOPER PHRASED IT, YOU ARE VERY LUCKY TO BE ALIVE AND NOT INJURED. AFTER CONTACTING LAND ROVER ALONG WITH THE DEALER, I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO SOLVE ANYTHING. I AM VERY WORRIED THAT THIS COULD HAPPEN TO SOMEONE ELSE. I ALSO HAVE WITNESSED, ITEMS ON THE CAR WHICH I FEEL NEED TO HAVE A RECALL ON BECAUSE OF THE FACT THE SAME HAS HAPPENED TO THE LOANER CARS AS WELL. STATED BELOW ARE THE AREAS THAT NEED TO BE LOOKED AT WHICH LAND ROVER IS OVER LOOKING OR WILL NOT GIVE US ANY INFORMATION ON. - DRIVERS SIDE LEFT PASSENGER DOOR, WILL NOT LOCK ALONG WITH THE OTHER DOORS AFTER USING THE REMOTE LOCK. HOWEVER, IF OPENED THE ALARM WILL SOUND. - RADIO- KEEPS OVER HEATING, IN WHICH THEY HAVE HAD TO REPLACE MINE THREE TIMES OVER THE 5 MONTH PERIOD OF OWNERSHIP. - SEAT BELTS NOT ENGAGING. I HAVE NO REASON TO BELIEVE AFTER THIS INCIDENT THAT THE SEAT BELTS WILL ENGAGED AT ALL IF A CRASH WERE TO TAKE PLACE. ALONG WITH OTHER ISSUES. PLEASE CONTACT BACK AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. THANK YOU. *NM

ON MY LAND ROVER LR3 WHEN I TURN THE STEERING WHEEL HARD TO THE RIGHT AND LEFT THERE IS A LOUD CRUNCHING NOISE IN THE FRONT END. THE DEALER SAYS ITS COMMON AND DUE TO THE STEERING LINKAGE HITTING THE STOP, HOWEVER THIS DOES NOT HAPPEN ON ALL LR3'S. I'M DRIVING A LOANER FROM THE DEALER AND THIS ON (SAME MODEL AND YEAR) DOES NOT MAKE THE NOISE. I'VE OWNED NEARLY 25 VEHICLES IN MY LIFE AND NONE HAVE MADE THIS NOISE. IT IS CLEARLY A PROBLEM BUT LAND ROVER WON'T ACKNOWLEDGE IT, THEY SHOULD RECALL THESE VEHICLES AND FIX THE PROBLEM. *JB

CHECK FOR TRANSMISSION SOFTWARE UPDATE, AS IT INITIALLY SEEMED TO HAVE THE MUST DISCUSSED PROBLEM OF HARSH AND IRREGULAR SHIFTING WHEN ROLLING TO A STOP AND THEN RE-ACCELERATING. THIS PROBLEM HAS CONTINUED INTERMITTANTLY AND NOW THE VEHICLE SOMETIMES DROPS COMPLETELY OUT OF GEAR WHEN SLOWING DOWN OR TURNING. THE VEHICLE THEN DROPPED OUT OF GEAR AND I HAD NO ACCELERATION, AS IT WAS SUDDENLY LIKE I WAS IN NEUTRAL. HIGH RPM.... BUT NO MOVEMENT. AFTER A FEW SECONDS, THE TRANSMISSION SEEMS TO FIND "DRIVE" AND I CAN THEN MOVE FORWARD WITH NORMAL ACCELERATION. *TR
