My wife and I just got back from a road trip and noticed a few things that weren't/didn't seem quite normal. I'd appreciate feedback if anyone else has noticed the same.
1. I've noticed that the steering wheel radio controls don't always function properly. This weekend is the first time I've noticed it. When I go to change my preset stations, after touching the right/left arrow it will jump 2 stations instead of 1. Kind of like it got stuck, but it didn't. Nothing has ever been spilled on the wheel and I cleaned the area best I could. I was wondering if this could be electrical related or, since it's been so hot I've had the AC blasting and the wheel is in a direct line of the left front vent. Could the constant blowing of cold air somehow affect the control?
2. My recent trip was to western PA, so no shortage of hilly roads. It felt like the down shifting was much more noticable or not as smooth as one would expect. Maybe even a slight **** here and there during the downshift when coming to a stop. Also, at times it seemed as though the automatic downshifting was doing more than its fair share of the effort to slow the vehicle down. I've never noticed this before in other cars/SUVs. Is this type of downshifting typical of Land Rovers or could there be an underlying problem.
BTW, vehicle is approx 8 mos old with 7,000 miles
Thanks all
