I HAVE THE LAND ROVER LR2 2008 AND THE ENGINE WOULD SHUT DOWN. I COULDN'T GET THE KEY OUT AND ENGINE'S ELECTRONIC IS NOT RESPONDING. I HAVE TO GET IT TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY COULDN'T EXPLAIN THE REASON. THEY CHARGED US $1900 ON REPLACING THE NEW ELECTRONIC BOARD AND SOME FLUID LEAKAGE ON THE CAR. WE JUST GOT OUR CAR BACK FROM THE DEALER THREE WEEKS EARLIER FOR A THOROUGH CHECK-UP AND INSPECTIONS ON THE CAR AND WE ALSO HAD OUR BRAKES CHANGED. THEY CHARGED US $1400 THREE WEEKS AGO AND NOW THEY ARE CHARGING US AGAIN. SO FRUSTRATING.…

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 LAND ROVER LR2. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH, THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED BUT THE VEHICLE DID NOT STOP. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A LOCAL MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS ADVISED TO THE CONTACT THAT THE BATTERY FAILED AND ACID HAD LEAKED FROM THE BATTERY, SPREADING TO THE BRAKE LINE AND ALL COMPONENTS THAT WERE NEAR THE BATTERY. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 105,000. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 108,000. THE VIN WAS NOT PROVIDED.

PREMATURE WEARING OF BRAKE PADS AND ROTORS. WHEN NEW, THE CAR MADE IT TO 37,450 ON THE REAR BRAKES. THEY WERE THEN REPLACED FOR ABOUT $400 ON 12/31/10. THOSE LASTED 29,000 MILES UNTIL 66,082 MILES ON 2/18/13. THEY WERE REPLACED AGAIN, THIS TIME FOR ABOUT $500. NOW, AT 87,500 MILES (ONLY 22,000 MILES LATER), THEY ARE WORN TO THE BONE. LAND ROVER CLAIMS IT IS A WEARABLE ITEM AND THEY USE SOFT PADS FOR BETTER BRAKING. I'VE OWNED DOZENS OF VEHICLES OVER 50 YEARS AND USUALLY 40,000 MILES IS NORMAL FOR PADS AND ROTORS. EVEN IF WHAT LAND ROVER…

LIKE OTHERS, OUR LR2 BEGAN TO DEVELOP A WHINING SOUND FROM THE REAR AROUND 85,000 MI (NOW AT 88,000 SOCCER MOM MILES - NEVER OFF ROAD OR ABUSED). THIS CAR IS A MONEY PIT. AC WENT OUT AT 80,000 ($2,000 REPAIR), HOOD LATCH CAUSING FALSE ALARMS ($300), CONSTANTLY NEEDS BRAKES AND ROTORS (EVERY 25 TO 30K MILES), SUNROOF WENT (BUT APPARENTLY WE JUST MISSED THE VIN FOR THE RECALL)($3,000), AND NOW $4,000 FOR REAR DIFFERENTIAL WORK. LAND ROVER WHICH HAS ISSUED A SERVICE BULLETIN ON THE DIFFERENTIAL, SHOULD DO THE RIGHT THING AND ISSUE A RECALL AND …
