problem #1

Jan 012006

Range Rover 4WD 8-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 45,000 miles
Manufacturer: Land Rover model: Range rover 4.0se year: 1999 location: New York city due to a high radio frequency signal in my neighborhood from building/commercial antennas, my vehicle's becm (computer) has been receiving/attracting signals erroneously while parked inside a garage. As a result, the computer is kept active the entire time it is parked thus draining the battery. In addition, the signal has caused both left and right side doors to short and malfunction. Since the vehicle's battery is fully drained, it had to be towed to the local dealership. Both front and right side door latches plus battery had to be replaced. Finally, a switch had to be installed in order to manually turn the computer on and off. Total parts and labor plus towing costs have totaled to approx. $3,000. Finally, another Range rover in my garage has experienced the same problem and will have to undergo the same type of repairs and incur the same costs.
