2005 Land Rover LR3 Body and structure Problems

“Reference 2005 landrover LR3: I continue to experience excessive, abnormal wear on my tires. I've spent hundreds of dollars, but landrover continues to deny that there is a defect in the vehicle. I'm concerned about the potential safety issues that could arise. Can you help me?”

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. …”

A few days later, the vehicle's remote lock/unlock system failed to operate. Inspection of the vehicle by Land Rover service personnel revealed clogged drain tubes leading from the sunroof along the driver and passenger side front frames, which subsequently allowed water to enter the vehicle through an undertermined entry point. Electrical wiring for the remote control system was rendered inoperable. …”
