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 to replace the sensor.

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.

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.

In Jan. 2006 we bought a Land Rover LR3 ls, a month after we bought the car we begun having problems. The engine light warning lighted up a couple of times. The engine light warning lighted up & there was a burning smell coming from the air vents as well. We called the dealer & they said not to worry that it could wait, we insisted & finally they allowed us to bring the car into the dealer. All they said was that the compressor was dirty & that's why a burning smell came out of the vents & the engine light warning was now off & it would come back on because this was a software problem that they had become aware of & there was nothing they could do about it right now. The engine warning light came back that same day. We are afraid to drive the car & not being sure of it just being because of the software problem or if there is something really wrong with the car. We went to the dealer 3 different times, first have the car checked, second speak with the service manager & third with the general manager. All three visits we got the same answer a software problem & no solution. As we continued to do research about our software problem on the internet, we were astonished to find out that the engine of the LR3 V6 is a Ford 4.0 & not a BMW motor as they used to be. The main reason we bought this car was because of the BMW motor the car was supposed to have. No one at the dealer ever told us that the LR3 V6 was a Ford motor & the V8 was a Jaguar motor eventhough we asked several times the difference between the LR3 V6 & V8. Until now the engine light warning keeps coming on & off & also the burning smell comes out of the vents. The dealer does not have a fix for our problem yet. Because of all the problems mentioned above we feel that there has been a fraud, the dealer has been selling these cars since the summer of 2005, in Jan. '06 the dealer sold the car knowing this problem was going to arise with the engine light warning turning on & off due to the software problem.
