I have to say that my '05 LR3 spent more time on the hook than any other vehicle I've ever owned. It was in spurts though. When the local stereo shop put in my Sirius they pulled power from a sensing line and seriously broke the car. Got that fixed and once I got used to ignoring dashboard lights, everything worked fine for a couple of years. Then the battery got weak and it went back to the dealer on the hook. The next year they replaced the compressor (that was working perfectly) under the recall and I had enough suspension faults to send it back to the dealer on the tow truck.
After that I traded it in on an '08 LR3 and it has been without exception the most reliable vehicle I've ever owned. 35k without a single problem attributable to LR's design (I'm on my 3rd windsheild, but that is New Mexico roads). I understand the '05 being at the bottom of the polls, but the '08 is as close to perfect for me as can be imagined. All I can think is that the scoring in that poll is dominated by '05 and early-build '06 LR3's.
