| Just as experienced by others, my 2005 land rover lr3 experienced water build up into the driver's side of the vehicle (approx 3 in. deep of water both in driver and rear passenger area after heavy rain). according to the dealership, water dripped along the frame on which the windshield is mounted after a heavy rain and flooded the inside. this was apparently due to clogged drainage tubes. 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. although the dealership said the tubes were fixed, this flooding occurance has happened 4 more times. no recommendations were given to avoid future occurrences, or guarantees given that additional systems affected by water damage (including ones vital to supporting the vehicle in motion) will not fail. | |||

| A 2005 land rover lr3 experienced water intrusion into the driver's side area. water dripped along the frame on which the windshield is mounted after several days of heavy rain. 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. other cabling and interior carpeting were also water-damaged. land rover service personnel replaced existing drain tubes with larger diameter ones. the faulty remote system was repaired. other systems whose cabling was exposed to liquid were not traced out or replaced. no recommendations were given to avoid future occurrences, or guarantees given that additional systems affected by water damange (including ones vital to supporting the vehicle in motion) will not fail. | |||

| I have a 2005 lr3 landrover that is perpetually out of alignment because of the structural design of the car. this defect causes my tires to wear excessively fast and have caused me to have completely bald tires on the inner halves of all four tires. once the dealership replaced the tires because they were in such bad shape. this december another set of tires was badly worn and the dealership realigned the car making it more unsafe to drive. this problem can visually be seen by looking at the car. the car wears through tires approximately every 15,000 miles. my dealership acknowledges the problem, but will not fix the car. there is great potential for injury due to the car never staying in alignment and the excessive wear of the tires. *tr | |||

| Rear window on land rover lr3 dropped on my wife as she was unloading vehicle. the vehicle body attachment of the passenger side support arm failed and this problem has been reported within the land rover service organizations but is being treated as a warranty problem. my wife was hurt in this accident as she was hit in the head. i consider this a product defect that should be considered for a recall-- since land rover already acknowledges this as a problem. *tr | |||
