The sunroof side rails have broken and the plastic pieces are lodged in the sunroof. It will not operate and seems dangerous to drive.
My automobile's battery dies (I have bought 2 new batteries) or runs out of charge when it gets too cold or when I do not drive it for 3 days or more. Sometimes, as I am driving it on a highway, it just cuts off, and I have to wait for at least 10 minutes and start it again. Sometimes it starts, sometimes it doesn't. Then I have to wait longer.
Humming noise when driving due to faulty differential. Only has 40,099 miles. . . . Also starts some days and other days may take up to 3 times before it will start without dying. Took to several shops that said they can't figure out problem and they called landrover only to be told, this is a common problem and no one solution has been found to fix it. This has been going on for 3 years and no one can fix.
Rear differential failure , a slight moaning noise from the rear end progressed into grinding, rendering the car unsafe to drive. This issue is not uncommon and many Land Rover Lr2 owners have experienced this from 45k-60 miles. I went to local place to see how much it will cost,they want 3. 276,00. Its too much money and I drive kids all the time,and I am afraid soon I will have big problems or accident. Please help me to fix this problem,Land Rover should fix this without charge. Thank you so much!! view details.
Quoted by dealership that rear differential need to be replaced for ~$2200. Research has shown my there are hundreds of complaints about the same issues on many Land Rover Lr2/3 models. I would like to advocate for a recall, as every time Land Rover fixes this known defective part, they make a big profit. Otherwise, a class action lawsuit will be initiated against Land Rover.
It seems like the car what's to stall and I noticed the rpms would shoot up and then drop and the car just about stalls. This happened to my wife and I about 8 different times in the last 4 months while driving and about 4 times while waiting for a red light to change or while stopped.
With 25,000 miles the keys were not working, we went to the dealer that told us that the inside battery gets recharge while we drive, both keys were not getting any charge, the battery can not be replaced, you will have to buy a new key and get it programmed by the dealer at a cost of $500. 00 each in miami, there is no way to open the key or to get a cheaper key.
Rear started making grinding noise when accelerating and turning to the left or right. I took it to the dealership, they said that they did not hear the noise and I may need to wait until it gets worse, numerous online complaints of a faulty design for the differential - Land Rover told me that they have replaced 2 differentials in last couple of months and if that is what is wrong with my vehicle it could potentially lock up while I'm driving and could cause an accident. Will you please look into why Land Rover has not done a recall ? thank you very much, laurie.
I bought my Land Rover Lr2 hse brand new from a dealer in NJ on may 31, 2008 . In mid 2012, at 45k miles right after my warranty expired, I started to hear a disturbing howling or humming noise from the rear which is getting much louder at highway speeds. It got worse after driving another 2k miles, so I took it to the dealership in April 2013. I was told that the rear differential (rdiff) needs to be replaced which was the cause for the noise. I was given an estimate for the replacement of a rebuilt (not a brand new one) for $2321. This car has an almost unused rear seat and has never been off-road and 80% off the mileage has been on the highway. I called the Land Rover north America in may to open a case and asked them to pay for the cost of the repair since I found this problem extremely premature for a high end SUV. They don't explicitly admit 2008 Lr2s have faulty rdiffs but they agreed to pay only $500 towards the replacement. I am afraid this problem might get worse and treacherous to drive and strongly believe that Land Rover north America should make a recall for this problem and be held responsible for the whole cost of replacement with a brand new (instead of a rebuilt) one. I also found out on the internet that is a common problem for 2008 Lr2s. . Read more...
