We have an updated result for the LR4 based on owner experiences through June 30, 2011.

Repair frequencies, in terms of repair trips per 100 cars per year:

2011: 43

2010: 60

Both are about average.

We'll have further updates in November and February. With more participants, we could provide more precise results.

We have an updated result for the LR4 based on owner experiences through December 31, 2011.

Repair frequencies, in terms of repair trips per 100 cars per year:

2011: 49, small sample size

2010: 77

Both are "about average," though at different extremes of the range.

Thank you, once again, everyone who has been helping. We'll have further updates in May and August. With more participants, we could provide more precise results.

my experience so far...

2010 HSE LR4 with rear dvd and 5 camera package, current mile 31000, owned since June 2010 here are issues i've enountered:

2 of the cameras didn't work - dealer replaced harness, works perfect since

dome light rattle - dealer fixed

rear hatch rattle - dealer fixed

computer kept resetting my default settings - dealer fixed

dome light rattle again! - dealer fixed

strap to fold rear seat came lose - self fix

that's it for me! no major issues and dealer took care of my first 2 services as well.

That's a great post! I have had my 2010 since Nov of 2009, 29K. Nothing to report out of the ordinary except for the brakes. Gosh they go quick. I have really had nothing else to report that actually required me calling the dealer for service. Also they only took care of my 1st service..next time i will surely use that as a bargaining tool when i purchase the next one.

i did have to change my brake pads at around 20k miles but figure that's more of wear and tear and not really a reliability issue. It's a big and heavy car so i guess it uses a lot of brakes to stop.

Rapid brake wear is a common complaint with European SUVs. We do count brake pads if they're replaced before 24k miles.

dome light rattle - dealer fixed

rear hatch rattle - dealer fixed

I had the dome light rattle. It sounds like it is coming back.

I also have the rear hatch rattle that the dealer tried to fix by adjusting the alignment. But..it's back. What did your dealer do to fix your rear hatch rattle?
