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.

The dash has cracked all the way across even where the air bags are feel very unsafe with the bags may not deploy. At the time of an accident.

Tl- the contact owns a 2005 landrover Lr3. The contact stated that the check engine warning light flashed and then it stayed lit as the failure progressed randomly. The contact stated that while at a stop light to make a left turn the vehicle stalled with no warning. The contact was able to restart the vehicle but the failure continued. The contact stated that when the fuel was lower than a quarter tank, the vehicle randomly stalled. The contact was not included in NHTSA campaign number: 07v011000 (fuel system, gasoline) and 05v376000 (fuel system, gasoline). The dealer did not notify the contact of NHTSA campaign number: 08v248000 (steering) which was not completed before the contact owned the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to a repair shop for inspection and diagnosis. The contact was to schedule the recall repair with a dealer. The manufacturer was notified of the failures and they provided no remedy. The approximate failure mileage was 80,060. Dyd.

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.

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. . Read more...

Driving, then default suspension light turns on. Then hydraulics completely stop working . Back seat seatbelt not working properly. Passenger airbag light turns on. Transmission pulls improperly. Electrical system, radio, clock, cd player stops working.

Vehicle has a problem that allows water to leak through the sun roof seal and front windshield seal. The water seepage is causing electrical problems with certain vehicle functions; namely the inability to use the key fob remote to lock and unlock the vehicle. The electrical problems at this point appear to be intermittent and resolve themselves several days later, presumably after the water has evaporated. When driving the vehicle after it has been rained on, the trapped water within the ceiling of the vehicle begins to escape and fall through the airbag ports on the a-pillar and from the interior light console. The issue seems to be a common problem with this model when reading various reports on the internet.

As we were driving, the suspension fault light came on and immediately went off. We thought it may be due to the road conditions. About 30 minutes later, we stopped to gas up and when we were back on the road, the radio would not work. No sound but a cracking sound was coming from the radio. After a hour, the radio came back on. Last week, I was driving and the suspension light was came on and off every 5 or 10 minutes, it seemed. Then a loud chime with a suspension fault in red letters. At a stop light, the vehicle was going up and down like it has a mind of its own. Kindly of spooky. Of course, our 2006 Lr3 is out of warranty. I called the dealer and it will cost $125 for a diagnosis but it will go toward the cost of the service whatever is needed. All I see is major dollars signs due to our last experience. The dealer quoted us a cost of $250 for a problem my husband fixed with a $12 fuse. So my husband will not take it back to the dealer not unless it is a must.

Pitted camshaft caused rocker arm to brake and stall.

I have a 2005 Land Rover lr 3. Both remote controls stopped working at the same time. After further investigation I found out that this is a common problem for this model I checked various blogs and I discovered hundreds of complaints about the sunroof drainage leading to wire corrosion and resulting in short circuit and keyless entry remotes not working. Dealers are aware of this problem, but they say this is not a reason for a recall.

My 2005 Land Rover Lr3 has several warning lights, varies from brake to suspension which usually clears itself after restarting the engine. Last week the amber light on the suspension heights is on again with chimes each time the engine starts. 3 days ago, I was driving to a supermarket when the amber light turned red, the suspension system failed, the vehicle dropped to a low stance and very bouncy. It made strange noise from the left rear side, I can't even drive more than 25 miles per hour, as it will bounce wildly. The car is now still stuck in a low level suspension, parked in the a parking space near my house. Lucky it happens not more than 10 miles away from my house, so I drove it very slowly. If this problem happens in a freeway, this is a very dangerous situation.

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 occurance 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.

The contact stated the vehicle stalled while driving at 60 mph. The vehicle had to be towed to the dealership. They found the bent connector was not making proper contact, this was repaired. There have been no problems with the vehicle since the repair.
