2011 - 2017 LR4 - My Experiences
@iSurfvilano I agree, however there has to be, in my opinion, a reasonable amount of service for any vehicle - regardless of how much money a person has. Vehicle is only enjoyable if it's not at the dealership. Like I said, this wasn't meant to be a flame against the LR4. I had a great 5... -

@mpinco - like I said my experience probably isn't everyone's. Looks like you got a solid LR4! -

2011 - 2017 LR4 - My Experiences
Well after 5 years of ownership I sold my 2011 LR4 with 69,500KM on it. I'm just posting this as more of a history for all future owners. Overall I really liked the LR4 however the reliability was becoming a little bit of a concern. I know many people here have had little to no issues so take... -

Intake Manifold + Water Pump
I paid $3600 when I bought the car in 2012 (it was 2011 with very low KM). So far under the warranty I have had bushings replaced ($800), Parking Brake Module ($1400) and now this $2600. So I came out ahead for sure. Now with the warranty up I'm getting a little nervous to be honest. I will... -

Intake Manifold + Water Pump
So I took the truck in because of a noise in the engine. They confirmed the water pump is shot but also discovered noise coming from the intake manifold. They are doing some work there. This will be the last thing I get done under my 3rd party extended warranty. They are covering the $2600... -

Has your LR4 ever left you stranded? Preventative maintenance?
2011 LR4 with 40,000 miles. For me it was the parking brake module that locked in the on position - left my wife stranded - lucky it was really close to home. The release under the cup holders didn't work. Had to have it towed on a flatbed which still destroyed the back pads and rotters... -

Extended Warranty
Hey..need some advice. I have a 2011 LR4 (68,000km / 42,000 miles). My CoverageOne warranty is up at the end of year. I'm thinking about if I should get another extended warranty. Prices seem to be around $4800CDN for full coverage for 3 years. I'm nervous about some random thing going in... -

Parking Brake Horror Story
So the $1500 was for rear rotters, pads and EPB shoes + labour. They are going to see if they can get the price down. The car had to be driven with the EPB engaged out of the parking lot onto the flatbed then again from the flatbed to the parking lot at the dealership (I wasn't there just... -

Parking Brake Horror Story
Update... As it stands right now my extended warranty is covering the actuator and labour to the tune of $1500 but in the process my rear rotor and pads got scorched. So that's going to set me back another $1500 and that's not covered under warranty. ($CDN) So not awesome. -

Parking Brake Actuator
Well last weekend my Parking Brake Actuator failed on my 2011. Parking brake was stuck on in a parking lot and won't release. Parking brake fault came on. Tried the manual release under the cup holder and nothing. Had to have it towed to the dealership. As it stands right now my... -

Parking Brake Horror Story
This just happened to my wife on Friday night. 2011 LR4 ~ 56,000km (34,000 miles). No prior warning. Parked at a grocery store parking break on. Came out horrible noise and Parking Brake fault. Couldn't move the car. The manual release under the cup holders did nothing. Had the car towed the... -

Alert beeps and fob/locking issue
I only get the two beeps if the keys are in the car or if the keys are not in range of the car. I do find it's weird I can't lock it if the keys are in the house. -

Brakes - Replace Now or Wait
So I have my yearly service due in the new few weeks. I know that my brakes are getting close to needing replacement but no light is on yet. Question I have. I do most of my driving in the summer so starting between now and the spring I will only put probably 2500 miles on the truck... -

LR4 with 3 kids?
I would say no. I have 2 kids + large dog. Two kids are in the second row with the middle seat free which we use for luggage. In the back I put 1 chair up for luggage and the dog lays on the other side. With one more kid I wouldn't be able to do it. I would get a roof box. There is really no... -

Rear brake pads wearing faster than fronts?
My Volvo wagon had the same setup. Back brakes grip first / harder to prevent nose diving.
