general problems of the 2005 Land Rover LR3

The air ride suspension is totally dead. There was a recall years ago but I didnt get it done. Now when I search recalls its not there, because someone thinks the work was completed. That is simply false. I can barely drive this vehicle now because the left side dropped due to air suspension. The service guy told me the suspension was built improperly.

Air suspension fault cant go over 35 miles per hour bad compressor dealer says. Now I'm hearing this the number 1 problem and complaint of my model.

The contact owns a 2005 Land Rover Lr3. While driving less than 60 mph, the vehicle veered to the right. The dealer made the necessary repairs, but the failure occurred three additional times. The vehicle was returned to the dealer and a four wheel alignment was performed. After the fourth failure, the contact became suspicious that the repairs would only provide a temporary remedy indefinitely. The VIN was unknown. The failure mileage was 26,000 and current mileage was 44,000. Updated 10/16/08 updated 10/17/08.

Comments: we currently own a 2005 landrover Lr3, in 2006 the company issued a technical service bulletin regarding their suspension which causes dangerous uneven tire wear. The company acknowledged the issue and at the factory changed the suspension of subsequent models, however they allowed current owner such as ourselves and our three children to drive unsafe vehicle without notification. We have had severely uneven and potentially deadly tire wear twice with this SUV. I don't know how many other vehicles are being driven with this unsafe issue. Landrover north America refuses to take responsibility. Someone is going to rollover these SUV's or have a high speed blow out. Does someone have to die before landrover takes notice? we thought you should know to try and save some lives.

The tires are wearing excessively. The problem was corrected at 18,000 miles service interval with an alignment and reappeared at 30,000 service. The dealer suggest changing the tires more often. They can not explain the cause.

Tires on the Lr3 2005 Land Rover had excessive wear & tear , I. E. Premature and uneven tire wear that could potentially lead to failure, accident, injury, fire, property damage, crash as a result of tire failure. Ar has been maintained per warranty. Em tires were pretty much no good after 13,555 miles on the car on a personal level. Service bulletin swa06-10 revision 2, was out there for this alignment issue back in October 23, 2006 timeline that was causing the tires to wear out excessively. Subject title: Lr3 and range rover sport premature/uneven tire wear guidance manufacturerwas simply not taking any proactive steps to correct the situation. If this issue was discovered in 2006 or earlier why wasn't the manufacturer taking immediate actions on the issue ? where was the accountability from managment from Land Rover ? riskwas simply not acceptable to the passengers in the car.

All four tires had to be replaced because of excessive wearing and cupping on the inside of the tires. All four tires were worn to the wear bars, with less than 16,000 miles on the vehicle. If this was not personally noticed, a failure of a tire could have lead to a roll over of the vehicle. The tires were replaced by the dealer with myself paying for them, and to pay for a wheel alignment. The wheels are always in a negative camber, by design, which causes the tires to wear on the inside. I have heard of others having this problem, while in for service I looked at other vehicles in for service, and they all had tire wear on the inside. Please investigate this before some soccer mom rolls over and children are injured.

1). Disconnected plug to generator which resulted in electric failure in navigation system and stereo - fixed. 2). Vehicle continues to veer to the right while driving, however after each complaint and servicing to Land Rover we are told there is no alignment problem when they drive the car. 3). Repeat of the same problem, approximately three weeks later - dealer stated there was a recall on the stereo/navigation system, which is what initially caused the problem - fixed 3). 9-14-2005 vehicle stalled while driving downhill in heavy traffic in a canyon, leaving me with no brakes or power steering, almost veering off the mountain. Started engine again and it stalled again only 30 feet further - called Land Rover and was informed there is a recall that is supposed to start October 14 - it is a fuel ignition problem - very dangerous - and needs a new fuel tank. Recall # 05v37600.
