I have a 2008 LR2

We have experienced an unusual situation where all of the doors will open from the inside of the vehicle using the interior door handles, with the exception of the front passenger's door. This is in Canada.

However all of the doors, including the front passenger door will open from the outside.

Has anyone experienced a similar problem.?????

This sounds like a fault - may simply be lever disconnected - definitely a safety issue.

I assume it is nothing to do with autolocking feature confusing passenger - I have had passengers telling me handle will not work before I explained it

I would go to dealer ASAP

No I do not think it has anything to do with the autolock, although it may be a possibility. My wife enjoys the problem, because I have to open the door for her. She is having a wonderful time.

I thought it may have something to do with the air bags for some reason. I have checked the fuse panel in the rear of the vehicle, there is a fuse for each door but they one for this particular door is ok. I will check the others tonight, just in case.

I have informed the dealer, they will look at it at 12000 kms.

i would take it to the dealer straight away, what if something happens before the 12K service and she can't get out.  Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

My wife uses the vehicle 99% of the time. I get it on Fridays for a treat. I called my wife and asked to make sure to have any guests sit in the back seat until the problem is resolved.

My passenger door wont open from the outside or inside unless you press the unlock button on the dash whilst simultaneously pulling the black catch on the door handle! not very convenient, but the dealer has ordered a new catch so the FL is going back AGAIN for fixing.

WOW - do you mean that every time the car goes in for a service you get it returned newly washed
Sounds like an impossible thing to expect here in Norway, where I normally spend time cleaning up after its been in the service shop like removing greasy fingerprints and the like  2007 Freelander 2 HSE TD4 Manual with Premium Pack & Moonroof.
