I've had my LR3 since October 2009 but it's a 2006 and recently I've been having issues after starting the car.
Upon starting the following lights appear in the dash:
A little background info on the problem: It first occurred after lowering my suspension with the engine off, which is a normal function. Then it happened on my way back from a river trip in Arizona at a gas station on a normal start-up. It has happened increasingly since the first occurrence about 3 months ago but goes away after restarting the car. I took it to the dealer to get new rotors and told them about the problem they suggested a faulty battery, but could not get the car to do it for them. I drove it home (1-hour drive), got out for 5 minutes, then got back in, started the car, and the lights came on again.
Feeling a little frustrated, I restarted, but the lights came on again. This was the first time it happened continuously. After about 8 restarts, I called LR Miramar and they "apologized for the inconvenience" and suggested I drive another 2 hours to drop it off again (no), so instead I had roadside assistance tow it back to them. I didn't want to drive a car with faulting brakes and transmission problems. I currently await news from them.
I can email pics and a video of the problem (can't post from my iPad)
UPDATE: Just got the car back from the dealership. It's getting towed back tomorrow. Their diagnostic tests found a good battery and no corrosion or open connections in the wiring. The suspension is now acting up and lowering to access height along with the SUSPENSION FAULT message. Also getting a TRANSMISSION FAULT message.
Lemon perhaps?
