Engine And Engine Cooling Problems of Land Rover LR3

Stationary - one of the electronic control module is not communicating with some of the parts. Not sure if this is software upgrade required or what the issue might be.

After coming to a complete stop, the engine revved up, almost getting into an accident, had to stand on the brake in order to keep it from taking off, immediately shifted to neutral, engine continued racing while in nuetral.

I was pulling into a staples store parking space and went to stop. The Lr3 accelerated as I was braking and the powerful engine revved & wanted to keep driving the Lr3 forward. I kept my foot on the brake and immediateley shifted the Lr3 into park; shifted back & forth before the Lr3 stopped idle. Luckily there were no people or cars directly in front of me, but I did go across the lane and nearly hit a parked car. I am so concerned that I drove directly to the library; talked to a friend who said it sounded like "sudden acceleration", so I googled "2007 Lr3 sudden accleration"; this issue is on Land Rover forums, but there is no consistant definitive cause/solution to the issue. Filing a complaint with NHTSA and calling the mechanic tomorrow.

This description was blank.

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.

Vehicle has approximately 65k miles and have been notified that the suspension air compressor must be replaced. This appears to be a very common problem. The dealer is unable to repair the vehicle at this time due to the part being on back order due to the number of vehicles needing this same repair. The compressors are obviously not the best quality with the elevated level of failures. Hopefully the part comes in before a complete failure of the compressor.

On two separate occasions the vehicle lost power and came to a complete stop while we where driving on the freeway.

I purchased this vehicle 5 weeks ago. I have already made 2 payments on it. In those 5 weeks, I was able to drive my vehicle in satisfactory condition for about a week. While driving the vehicle in the second week, I experienced power failure and I called the dealership. I was told that I probably had "bad gas" and that if it did not conitinue to lose power, I would be all right. The problems shortly ended after about 10 miles, so I continued. That same week, I got an alert from the car's computer that told me to contact the dealership immediately. I did so and the dealership picked up the vehicle. It was returned after 3 days and I was told the only problem was that the gas cap was not put on tightly enough. The first of the next week, I was on my way out of town, and experienced the same loss of power. I drove it immediately to the dealership and after waiting an hour, was told it would take about 2 hours to fix the problem- a vaccum leak. When I did not receive the car back 2 business days later (after multiple calls to the dealership), I was told the engine had a noise and they did not know how to fix it. Now I am being told they are bringing in a specialist and hope to have it back to me in a few days-"it will take several more days, but we think it can be fixed. " they have now had my vehicle for a week and half for this last problem- and do not forsee getting it back this week. I do not think that a $53,000 brand new vehicle should be experiencing these kinds of mechanical problems.
