2006 Land Rover LR3 Brakes Problems

“The brake rotors on my Land Rover became severely warped at 12,744 miles. They were replaced under warranty, but brake rotors should not warp with so few miles on them. I think this is a problem with all land rovers based on comments from the dealer.”

“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.”

“The right rear wheel was making a high pitched nose for almost 8 months. I was told there was nothing wrong. Eventually the high pitched noise turned into a loud grinding noise and was told the outside brake,(which has no sensor) had been locked in place and caused the breaks to wear completely down to metal on metal. This required me to buy new brakes for both sides. It seem to me to be a malfunction in the car but the dealer said it is a wear and tear item so it is not covered by the warranty. …”

“Hello- I am not positive if this is the exact location to be sending this. I am a witness to a defect or a malfunction while driving a 5 month old 2006 Land Rover LR3. While driving on the highway in the mountains of colorado, my car's brakes locked up while driving around 68 MPH. This caused me to skid to a complete stop on the highway. However, while coming to a stop my seat belt did not engage, causing me to hit my head and tear muscles in my back, which I had checked out at the doctor. …”
