problem #2

Jan 012007

LR3 8-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 8,000 miles
Uneven tire wear at 9000 miles. Loud noise in cabin. I contacted the dealer to check the alignment as there is a tsb on this and was told "the Goodyear tires are just not good" I have never seen a tire wear only on the inside edge because the tire is bad. Looks related to the air suspension and toe to me. But they wont fix it, they told me to go buy new tires. I just paid 55K for the truck and 6 mos later they want me to buy good tires"??"

LR3 8-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 13,400 miles
I purchased a 2006 Land Rover LR3 SE in Dec. 2005. It has approx. 13K miles and I was about to rotate the tires when I noticed that the inside tread on both rear tires had worn completely through exposing the steel belts while the outside portion of the tread was not worn at all. It appeared to have a significant camber misalignment on both rear wheels. It was so dangerous, I called roadside assistance to tow the vehicle instead of driving and risk blowing the tire on the way to the dealership. After dealer inspection the dealer agreed to pay only half the cost to replace the tires and said that factory camber settings would require us to replace all 4 tires approximately every 10K miles (every 6 months). They are charging me $769 for 2 tires - that would cost $1500 every 6 months!! I have contacted Land Rover usa to have them buy back my vehicle because this mechanical/safety issue was not disclosed to me at point-of-sale. I am awaiting response. I am making this complaint so that no one gets killed on the highway due to blowouts. In researching this problem, I found that countless others on the Land Rover forum experienced identical problems.
