So when does the transmission go? 150,000 miles or ? I have a 2011 LR4 after selling my 2008 version, but this 2011 has had all kinds of problems. TG I did have the warranty to 100,000 miles, but that is over now. This rig requires new brakes/rotors on front and back every 50,000 miles; the bluetooth phone connection just stopped working and they want over $700 to replace it with a new module, and they also want another $700 to replace the 3 knobs which control the A/C, heat, etc. The knobs have turned sticky and cracked - like a puppy has slobbered and chewed them (not the case!) and I just need the round rubber type rings. They say the entire face would have to be replaced. WHAT??? And now I feel a drag in the transmission. I’m at 142,000 miles with regular service being done by dealership. Looking for a 2016 model soon.
There are some chrome Chinese 3M taped over covers that you can tape over them with.The knobs have turned sticky and cracked
Another use of the IIDTool to reset the transmission adaptation.I feel a drag in the transmission.
I'd try to reflash the instrument pack with the IIDTool first.the bluetooth phone connection just stopped working
I have a 2011 LR4 with approx. the same mileage as yours. In the past two weeks I have had my hood latch cable snap, and the water pump/front crossover pipe job done. I usually do the work myself, but have been super busy lately and the hood was just getting irritating. $457 for the hood work, then $1300 for the water pump/crossover pipe along with some new belts. This is a 2 hour job if you do it yourself which would have made it significantly cheaper. I know you are saying it is more of an emotional decision, so please keep the car if you want, but just plan to spend $2-3k a year on maintenance, regardless of who is doing it. Everyone else's opinions and comments are dead on. There is just a bit of a difference between people saying it gets expensive and be prepared for maintenance, and then actually being there having to shell out the cash which is where I am at now. I love the car, cant find anything that might drive better for the size; but I am a little tired of all the maintenance work. I'm a little over $9,000 in maintenance for the 2019, but a majority of that was the timing chain work. Great car, but expensive.
