Steering wheel Airbag cover curl

[morrisdl]

thanks for all the responses. Ill put it on the punch list and see how accommodating my dealer is...

My third row seat (when closed) rattles over bumps as well. I was told by the dealer that they couldn't fix it and it was just the design... It is so annoying in my opinion. If anyone knows a fix, please do tell...

nonsense, no rattles on either of our 3rd row seats - bad dealer.

When 3rd row is closed, try bouncing the seat bottom. One does and one doesn't on mine.

My service dpt mgr said the rubber stopper is worn out/ missing (as is most of the used lr3 on the lot). Part is not available with out the entire $1100 seat assembly. Checking to see if Land rover will authorize the replacement...could be BS. my radar was starting to go off, or maybe he is ***. not sure.

I've read someplace else about someone making their own rubber stopper for the 3rd row noise out of surgical tubing. If LR doesn't sell the rubber stops maybe they could be made. Think I read it on disco3.uk.com

Just checked my steering wheel. Yep, it's curling. Funny, wouldnt have noticed it until you guys mentioned it. Riding on a 3rd party extended warranty that has been endorsed by my dealer.. I'll pass on my experiences with you...

 

[morrisdl]

That is what my dealer wants to do also - tubing. I agreed only if LR rejects the claim for the seat assembly, which the begrudgingly agreed to.

Fresh off the press, there is now a TSB issued by LRNA regarding the curling airbag cover. LR3s from 2005 to 2009 are included - you get a free replacement airbag if your warranty is still valid. Evidently they must have redesigned the cover to eliminate the issue. I posted TSB at the following link (RRS and LR2 also affected): http://rangerovers.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=16438&start=21

I assume the million or so complaints I made about it while my car was under warranty won't matter now that I'm out of warranty. Or does that sort of 'grandfather' me?

If you have paperwork showing you brought up the issue with the dealer in the past (when your warranty was still valid), but they didn't act upon it because it wasn't considered a warranty claim at the time, then maybe... Otherwise fuggedaboutit. This ain't no Lexus.
