Open the full vehicle complaint log (all categories)CONTINUING TO HAVE ENDLESS PROBLEMS OF THE BATTERY DRAINING FOR UNKNOWN REASONS. WHEN THE BATTERY DRAINS TOO LOW THE VEHICLE THEN GOES INTO "CRASH MODE" AND I HAVE TO HAVE IT TOWED AND THE COMPUTER FLASHED TO HAVE THE CODES RESET OR ELSE IT'S NOT DRIVABLE. IT'S HAPPENED ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS SINCE I HAVE OWNED THE VEHICLE.
I BOUGHT THIS CAR NEW IN 2009 ( WAS USED AS A RETIRED LOANER FOR 4 MONTHS- HAD 7000 MILES ON IT WHEN BOUGHT) HAD THIS FOR 5 YEARS NOW, IS A LOW MILEAGE AT 59000, WOULD ONLY USE THIS TO DRIVE TO AND FROM WORK/HOME, DID NOT EVER ENGAGE IN ANY OFF ROADING AT ALL NOT ONCE, HAD ONLY USED THIS TERRAIN RESPONSE FEATURE MAYBE FEW TIMES IN THE LAST 2-3 WINTERS ( WHEN WE HAD SNOW); ALL THE SUDDEN I NOTICED, A LIGHT SAYING TERRAIN RESPONSE SYSTEM DE-ACTIVATED...I DON'T REMEMBER DOING OR PUSHING ANY BUTTON PRIOR TO THE INCIDENT, SO I BROUGHT MY VEHICLE TO LAND ROVER IN ORLAND PARK- THEY TOLD ME THAT THE TERRAIN RESPONSE SYSTEM HAD FAILED; THEY COULDN'T TELL ME WHAT WOULD CAUSE SUCH PROBLEM. THE TERRAIN RESPONSE SYSTEM IS NOT A WEAR AND TEAR THING, IT IS A SAFETY FEATURE THAT HAS FAILED FOR NO APPARENT REASON. I BROUGHT UP A CASE TO THE HEAD OFFICE OF LAND ROVER OF AMERICA AND THEY REFUSE TO LOOK FURTHER INTO THIS PROBLEM, SUCH A DISAPPOINTMENT; LAND ROVER IS OVER-RATED, I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER ONE AGAIN. *TR
