So a final update in case anybody cares - the dealer did confirm that the front radar sensor issue was caused by Carmax drilling the bumper in the wrong spot (and not using a proper license plate mounting bracket). So now with the license plate in the correct location - mounted lower - I now have two holes smack dab in the middle of the bumper. :mad:

I assume CarMax will repair or replace the bumper - not sure which I prefer. I guess whatever makes it less noticeable in terms of the paint blending and such. Any body shop gurus out there with thoughts on which course of action I should demand Carmax take (new bumper or just patch and repaint)?

This is why I can't STAND front license plates. There's no fixing that in my mind short of replacing the bumper.

So have to give CarMax credit - they initially only wanted to repair the bumper but we insisted they replace it and they agreed. So that’s that. Just hope they do a good job with the paint. And then off to the LR dealer to fix a leaking sunroof drain. Ah - the joys of Land Rover ownership!

That's the trade-off with Carmax, you pay slightly more than market average, but they do seem to stand behind what they sell and make things right when needed. I have seen many posts on problems Carmax fixed, things I do not think an average indy dealer lot would remotely touch (like your bumper, or replacing a windshield because the rain-sensing wipers were not working properly).
