Hey guys, new to the forum and need some assistance. I've got several issues and need some advice. I got my 05 LR3 off a import dealer a friend suggested in JAN 09. LR3 SE 32000 mi for $20k and I love it, but its giving me more trouble than all my past vehicles combine. I took it in twice (JUL 3 and AUG 1 to be exact) and they worked on it. No help and my warranty ran out two on AUG 15. I will post the fault codes tomorrow when I go to auto zone to scan them. Here are my problems:
Suspension Fault Normal Height Only (Every time about 30 sec. after starting)
Passenger Airbag Light (Nothing is in the seat, happens everytime for last month)
HDC Fault (About once a week, along with other)
Trans Fault Limited Gears Avail. (About once a week with HDC fault)
Suspension Lowered (Automatically, happens with HDC fault also)
Engine Fault (About twice a week. Happens after RPMs spike,{I'll explain later}. Turn off vehicle then back on and it goes away.)
I also have a problem where my engine will go from running at 750 RPMs or 1250 RPMs and will jump to around 2k or a little higher unexpectedly. I can be at a dead stop and it will jump. It will stay there for around 10 sec but has gone one for longer. I'll hold down the brake or just let it go if I'm driving with no one around. When it goes up it makes the vehicle kind of jump if I'm stopped. I have no idea how else to describe it or what is causing it.
Last one has only happened a couple of times in the last month. I'll be on the highway doing around 70mph and the car will kind "skip" or jump like it a cylinder missed, the thermostat will drop to 0 and will slowly go back to where it was originally.
Here is what the shop did on JUL 3rd:
I know this is a lot of stuff but this is my first LR and I love it and I would like to keep it but these issues are driving me crazy. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
