LR4 Electrical Failure
I have an opinion but I’m interested in what any of you think or have experienced. Have had my 2015 LR 4 for 5 years—no problems until 4 months ago when it seemed to flood without rain: water in the floorboards on driver & passenger side. 6k+ later I pick it up and realize halfway home ( 45 min drive) the electronics screen ( cameras/gps/radio etc) is blank & call dealer. They say mechanic forgot to reset electronics, bring it back. I am going on long trip & leave town instead. Ask friend to start the engine every 3 or 4 weeks to keep battery alive. Come home 3 months later, start it and a hundred yards later it flashes Electrical Failure on screen , loses power steering, locks up, smells odd and dies. Test battery & it’s at 12.8V. This all happens essentially 45 minutes after picking it up at dealer for repair. I say they screwed something up royally . What do you think?
and FYI, the first repair visit they replaced the sunroof drains, several suspension components (knocking), oil, break pads & aligned wheels.
visit after death: alternator, drive pump, idler pulley, updated hoses.

The electrical failure occurred AFTER the dealership had “fixed” the water issue when I tried to drive it (3 months later). But I agree, should have gone right back to the dealership after discovering their failure but couldn’t and given they made the mistake they should have been willing to pick it up or tow it ( I live almost an hour away) but they weren’t. Interesting take on electrical components sitting in water and not having been replaced.
