Software Problems of Land Rover LR2

3times now first battery light goes on then all lights on panels starts lighting up for no reason andcar starts slowing down and then dies while driving. It happened on a highway and on busy rush hour. All system shuts down. If windows are open there is no way to secure. In one instance the key was in the ignition and was not able to retrieve it this is not being recognized addressed by Land Rover. Cannot keep on ignoring this issue. Unfortunately not everyone reports to the manufacturer, someone has to do something this problems are draining the wallets of consumers because each time cars have to be taken to the dealership to unlock system reload software only to start a diagnose. Ending up with thousands in repairs . Police had to stop to put flares last time the car broke because it was dangerous to wait in the dark for towing.

1st time after car was parked in costco, left with my daughter and all our groceries and after a couple if blocks, without any sign the car slowly died, while drivng. It was 9 pm and was the middle of busy road. Dangerous. Nothing electrical worked, could n close windiws, put neutral to move car frim intersectionwt had it towed to car center and changed battery. After a couple if weeks last Thursday eve, in my building garage inserted key in engine, did not turn on at all. The driver display showed check system as usual and lights were on, but vehicle would not start. Had it towed again to vehicle center, they recommended to tow it again to dealer. I have checked on line many complaints with the same issue, no recall on the vehicle, there is a computer problem that can leave families stranded in dangerous situations either with brand new bought vehicle or after a couple if years. It seems that Land Rover is not recognizing the computer, software problem they have. And they keep charging thousands to the consumers for default issues in their electrical, software systems.

Land rover Lr2 - inserted key to start the engine - will start on first try have to remove key let car sit pump the brakes and try again the car will eventually turn over and start. I took the vehicle to fred lavery Land Rover dealership they kept my car for 4 days and told me it was a software update that my extended didn't cover. 1500. 00 dollars later I received my car back and the next day the same problem now even worst. The car has to sit for about 5-10 minutes to start. I called the dealer and was advised that they never duplicated the problem and they would need to have the mechanic take my car home overnight to see if he could duplicate and fix the problem.

On April 11, 2014, a check engine light is on and rmps goes up and down at idle. I went to the dealership and had to pay $340. 00 for diagnostic and software updates that should be free and covered by Land Rover, not by its customers. They use this trick as a high jacking point to squeeze money out of their customers' pockets. I have never experienced any such thing with any other vehicle I have ever owned. This is a summary of charges and codes: 66806 cja 2. 50 use dss tester to diagnose engine light on/ read codes p050b flaged nec to perform ltb00264 ecm update, then perform ltb00094 for stumble update bcm ipk solar sensor replace engine air filter 1 lr005816 filter - air cle 66806 cja 0. 30 install new air filter waiter engine light software updates. Please investigate these software system defects and make Land Rover liable for payment for its own defective software. They should be made responsible and accountable for any defects. I expect to be reimbursed for full payment as a result of this investigation. Thank you! elisabeth astafi.
