As electrical harness issue as described in the federal safety agency Reference #10056417, the suspension fails and dash reports suspension fault, leading to a suspension that is extremely unstable and could cause vehicle to roll over even at low speeds less than 30 MPH. My safety and the safety of nearby drivers was at risk while driving in a construction area near my home. I had to make an emergency erratic stop, once the suspension started bucking wildly after hitting a minor bump on the street, almost damaging the referenced car as well as those cars around me that were skidding to a stop. Yes, the problem is well documented in the above the federal safety agency reference and technical bulletin has been published that does not solve the safety issue once the damage has occurred. Not only has it been confirmed by multiple sources, but the manufacturer has published the technical bulletin with recommendations that don't solve the issue; rather, they put a band aid on it, that only helps if you find the issue prior to it occurring. Vehicle state has been well documented by dealer recommended land rover service center. Warning lamps, messages, appeared on dash immediately prior to the unresponsive suspension issue. All previous service and recalls were performed by dealership; however, no recommendation for performing the technical bulletin above was every mentioned which could have feasibly avoided the potentially life threating issue.

I was pulling into a staples store parking space and went to stop. The lr3 accelerated as I was braking and the powerful engine revved & wanted to keep driving the lr3 forward. I kept my foot on the brake and immediateley shifted the lr3 into park; shifted back & forth before the lr3 stopped idle. Luckily there were no people or cars directly in front of me, but I did go across the lane and nearly hit a parked car. I am so concerned that I drove directly to the library; talked to a friend who said it sounded like "sudden acceleration", so I googled "2007 lr3 sudden accleration"; this issue is on land rover forums, but there is no consistant definitive cause/solution to the issue. Filing a complaint with the federal safety agency and calling the mechanic tomorrow.

I have experienced a remote key failure issue with my land rover that appears to be a result from wiring corrosion (front passenger panel). This corrosion causes the wiring harnesses to become damaged and wiring breaks and exposed to bare metal and could potentially cause fire. This is caused by the drain tubes manufacturing.

The front and rear drivetrain failed and landrover will not cover the fault due to the fact the warranty just ran out two months ago? I believe the drive train does not just fail overnight?
