The consumer's vehicle stalled on two separate occasions. The vehicle was taken to the dealer but they have not been able repair the vehicle (2005 land rover lr3).
I purchased this vehicle 5 weeks ago. I have already made 2 payments on it. In those 5 weeks, I was able to drive my vehicle in satisfactory condition for about a week. While driving the vehicle in the second week, I experienced power failure and I called the dealership. I was told that I probably had "bad gas" and that if it did not conitinue to lose power, I would be all right. The problems shortly ended after about 10 miles, so I continued.
Dt: the vehicle has sensors that inform pedestrian's when it is backing up and about to hit someone. The back up sensors would take up to 15 seconds to engage after the vehicle was already backed up. The warning system sometimes works fine and sometimes.

I just bought a 2005 land rover lr3 se. Two days later after a rain, the passenger's side floor was wet. The next day the remote keyless entry stopped working. After looking online, I found that this is a common problem with the keyless entry due to a problem with the sunroof drains pouring water into the floor and causing corrosion of the wiring.
