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. IF IT WAS JUST WEAR AND TEAR WHY DID ONLY ONE SIDE WEAR DOWN TO THE METAL AND WHY ISN'T THERE A SENSOR FOR THIS. IT APPEARS TO BE A MALFUNCTION IN THE BRAKING SYSTEM IF THERE TRULY IS NO SENSOR FOR THE "OUTSIDE" BRAKE PAD. *TR

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. *TR

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. AFTER THIS HAPPENED, I WAS STILL AT A COMPLETE STOP ON THE HIGHWAY NOT ALLOWING ME TO DRIVE OR MOVE OUT OF THE WAY FROM ON COMING TRAFFIC. AS THE STATE TROOPER PHRASED IT, YOU ARE VERY LUCKY TO BE ALIVE AND NOT INJURED. AFTER CONTACTING LAND ROVER ALONG WITH THE DEALER, I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO SOLVE ANYTHING. I AM VERY WORRIED THAT THIS COULD HAPPEN TO SOMEONE ELSE. I ALSO HAVE WITNESSED, ITEMS ON THE CAR WHICH I FEEL NEED TO HAVE A RECALL ON BECAUSE OF THE FACT THE SAME HAS HAPPENED TO THE LOANER CARS AS WELL. STATED BELOW ARE THE AREAS THAT NEED TO BE LOOKED AT WHICH LAND ROVER IS OVER LOOKING OR WILL NOT GIVE US ANY INFORMATION ON. - DRIVERS SIDE LEFT PASSENGER DOOR, WILL NOT LOCK ALONG WITH THE OTHER DOORS AFTER USING THE REMOTE LOCK. HOWEVER, IF OPENED THE ALARM WILL SOUND. - RADIO- KEEPS OVER HEATING, IN WHICH THEY HAVE HAD TO REPLACE MINE THREE TIMES OVER THE 5 MONTH PERIOD OF OWNERSHIP. - SEAT BELTS NOT ENGAGING. I HAVE NO REASON TO BELIEVE AFTER THIS INCIDENT THAT THE SEAT BELTS WILL ENGAGED AT ALL IF A CRASH WERE TO TAKE PLACE. ALONG WITH OTHER ISSUES. PLEASE CONTACT BACK AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. THANK YOU. *NM
