Leaking front windshield at the center and right. Known issue with this car and series, but somehow this specific VIN is not in the group for the recall. This occurred exactly like the others and it should be covered. I had to argue with Aristocrat Motors in Miriam and they decided (for now, hasn't been completed) to cover it. This should be covered for the other VINS that aren't included in the recall.
VEHICLE ROLLED BACK WHEN IN THE PARK POSITION. VEHICLE HAD NO OCCUPANTS. VEHICLE PARKED ON AN INCLINE. ROLL BACK OCCURRED SEVERAL MINUTES AFTER SHIFTER WAS PLACED IN THE PARK POSITION AND MINUTES AFTER I EXITED THE VEHICLE. EXTREMELY WORRISOME. 2018 LAND ROVER DISCOVERY*DT*JB
THE KEY FOB IS CONSISTENTLY HAS ISSUES WITH STARTING THE VEHICLE. KEY WILL NOT UNLOCK DOORS WHEN TOUCHING THE HANDLE. VEHICLE WILL NOT START WHEN PARKED. THIS IS UNSAFE BECAUSE I HAVE BEEN STRANDED IN PUBLIC PLACES IN THE COLD AND THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START. THE DEALERSHIP WAS ACTUALLY NO ASSISTANCE. CHANGING BATTERS DID NOT WORK. REPROGRAMMING KEYS DID NOT WORK. THEY PROMISED TO ORDER A NEW KEY FOB, AND THEN THEY SAID IT WAS BACKORDERED. I FELT LIKE THIS IS A LIE. THEY HAVE STRUNG ME ALONG WITH NO RESOLUTION. I HAVE PROVIDED FOUR SERVICE RECORDS TO SHOW THE AMOUNT OF TIMES THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN INTO THE DEALERSHIP ABOUT THE VEHICLE NOT STARTING FROM KEY FOB NOT BEING RECOGNIZED.
WHILE TRAVELING OR STANDING STILL THE VEHICLE LEAKS RAINWATER FROM THE ENTIRE TOP FRONT WINDSHIELD. DEPENDING ON HOW HARD AND HOW MUCH RAIN IS FALLING WILL DEPEND ON HOW MUCH WATER LEAKS AND ACCUMULATES INSIDE INTO THE INTERIOR VEHICLE CABIN. I HAVE FOUND SEVERAL INCHES IN CUP HOLDERS AFTER A LONG RAINSTORM. THE DEALER ADVISED THEY HAVE HAD SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ON THIS PARTICULAR MAKE/MODEL. ADVISE THEY WILL REPLACE SEAM LOCATED ON TOP OF THE WINDSHIELD. THE PART ON ORDER, STILL WAITING FOR THE DEALER TO CALL. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD WHICH IMPAIRS DRIVERS VISIBILITY DURING INCLEMENT WEATHER, CAUSES UNNECESSARY DISTRACTION AND A POSSIBLE ELECTRICAL HAZARD.
UPON STAYING IN THE MOUNTAINS OF NORTH CAROLINA AND ENTERING THE CAR ONE MORNING AFTER A RAIN STORM, AND WHILE STILL RAINING IN THAT MORNING, WATER HAD BEEN AND CONTINUED TO, LEAK IN THROUGH THE TOP PASSENGER SIDE OF THE WINDOW SHIELD. THIS RESULTED IN A SUBSTANTIAL AMOUNT OF WATER ON THE HEADLINER, FLOORING, AND DASH BOARD. VEHICLE HAS REMAINED WITH DEALERSHIP SINCE 11/29 FOR REPAIRS AND PART REPLACEMENT. PER DEALERSHIP, THE FAULTY WINDOW SHIELD IS A KNOWN AND COMMON PROBLEM IN THE NEW DISCOVERYS YET HAS NOT BEEN RECALLED. AS AN ATTORNEY AND AN OWNER OF A 2018 DISCOVERY, I HAVE ESCALATED TO JAGUAR LANDROVER CORPORATE. I HAVE A VIDEO AND PHOTOS AVAILABLE HOWEVER I BELIEVE THE VIDEO IS TOO LARGE TO UPLOAD. POSSIBLE DAMAGE TO ELECTRICAL AND/OR LONG TERM DAMAGE AND LOSS OF VALUE IS UNKNOWN.
LET ME START, BY SAYING THIS HAPPENED 2 MONTHS AGO, IN MONTERREY N.L MEXICO. I WAS PULLING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY THE CAR FELT LIKE IT TURNED OFF AND IT PULLED TO THE RIGHT AND I CRASHED HITTING TWO CARS. SENT IT TO RANGE ROVER AND THEY STATED THE POWER STEERING BOX WAS DAMAGED AND I ASKED THEM ABOUT ANY RECALL THE SAID NO THIER HADN'T BEEN. I NEED MY CAR FIXED CAN YOU HELP PLEASE. MEXICO DOESN'T WANT TO DO THIS UNDER WARRANTY. CLAIM THAT WARRANTY IS ONLY FOR CANADA AND US. I COULD HAVE KILLED PEOPLE AND THIS WOULD HAVE BEEN ON YOUR COMPANY I NEED MY PROBLEM LOOK AT.
WE OWN A LAND ROVER DISCOVERY 2018. WHEN DRIVING THE 2018 LAND ROVER DISCOVERY THERE IS A SIGNIFICANT LAG IN THE THROTTLE SPOT ON THE TIME YOU PUSH THE GAS PEDAL TO THE TIME THE CAR RECOGNIZES THAT INPUT AND BEGINS TO MOVE. SOMETIMES THE LAG IS UP TO TWO SECONDS. THIS HAS ALMOST CAUSED A COUPLE OF ACCIDENTS AS YOU PUSH ON THE GAS EXPECTING THE CAR TO MOVE AND IT DOESN'T MOVE AND THEN SURGES UNEXPECTEDLY AFTER THE LONG LAG. THIS HAS BEEN REPORTED TO LAND ROVER FOR SOMETIME, SINCE BEFORE LAST SUMMER 2018 YET THEY DONE NOTHING TO FIX IT YET. THE LAND ROVER DEALERSHIP SAYS TO CONTACT LAND ROVER CORPORATE. LAND ROVER CORPORATE SAYS TO CONTACT THE DEALERSHIP. NO ONE HAS ANY IDEA WHEN IT WILL BE FIXED AND THE DEALERSHIP ACKNOWLEDGES THAT LAND ROVER CORPORATE HAS KNOWN ABOUT IT FOR QUITE SOME TIME. THEY ALSO STATED IT IS A PROBLEM IN THE LAND ROVER MODEL, THE RANGE ROVER, AS WELL. COULD SOMEONE AT NHSTA PLEASE OPEN AN INQUIRY BEFORE ANYONE GETS SERIOUSLY HURT OR WORSE AS LAND ROVER DOESN'T SEEM TO BE IN A HURRY TO RESOLVE IT. SOME ONE IS GOING TO GET HURT OR WORSE, IF THEY HAVEN'T ALREADY.
WHEN ATTEMPTING TO MAKE EVASIVE MANEUVERS DURING NORMAL DRIVING THERE IS A VERY SIGNIFICANT DELAY AFTER STEPPING ON THE ACCELERATOR. THIS IS AN INTERMITTENT PROBLEM AND SEEMS TO HAPPEN WHEN SLOWING DOWN AND THEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE. THIS HAS ALREADY ALMOST RESULTED IN 2 ACCIDENTS. THIS HAS BEEN REPORTED TO THE DEALER AND I WAS ADVISED THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG. THE SERVICE MANAGER INFORMED ME IN PERSON THERE HAVE BEEN MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS, BUT THAT THE COMPANY HAS NOT BEEN FORTHCOMING WITH A REMEDY.
LAGGY ACCELERATION AT "ROLLING STOP" SPEEDS OF 2-10 MPH. 2-4 SECOND DELAY MERGING INTO TRAFFIC OR TURNING INTO TRAFFIC. NO AMOUNT OF ACCELERATOR WILL ALLEVIATE THE LAG. SUPERCHARGED V6 GAS ENGINE.
THERE IS A DANGEROUS THROTTLE LAG WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A ROLLING STOP. MANY USERS HAVE NEARLY HAD ACCIDENTS LIKE ME. YOU PRESS THROTTLE AND IT DOES NOTHING FOR LIKE 2 SECONDS THEN SUDDENLY ENGINE PICKS UP... ITS A GASOLINE V6 ENGINE SO ITS NOT TURBO LAG.... AND WHEN YOU ARE ACTUALLY STOPPED AND ACCELERATE ITS JUST FINE. ITS JUST WHEN SLOWLY ROLLING ITS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS!!!
FROM A STANDSTILL, THE GAS PEDAL ACTUATION CAUSES THE VEHICLE TO LAUNCH INSTEAD OF SMOOTH ACCELERATION. FROM A ROLLING STOP, HITTING THE GAS PEDAL THERE IS A SEVERE LAG AS THE TRUCK SHIFTS TO THE NECESSARY GEAR AND MOVES AT THE EXPECTED RATE, AGAIN LURCHING THE OCCUPANTS
UPON ACCELERATION FROM A STOP OR LOW SPEED, THE VEHICLE NOTICEABLY LAGS CAUSING A SAFETY PROBLEM WHEN TURNING IN FRONT OF CROSSING TRAFFIC (LEFT HAND TURN) OR MERGING INTO TRAFFIC. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES AND I HAVE ATTEMPTED TO ADJUST MY DRIVING STYLE, BUT YESTERDAY WAS ALMOST HIT FROM BEHIND WHILE MERGING INTO TRAFFIC.
ACCELERATOR HAS A SIGNIFICANT "LAG" WHEN GOING FROM A MOVING "STOP". AS IF WHEN YOUR TURNING AND WANT TO ACCELERATE. THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH LR AND THEY HAVE BEEN WORKING ON A SOFTWARE FIX FOR MONTHS. IT IS DANGEROUS!!
WHEN VEHICLE IS UNDER 10 MILES AN HOUR OR BRIEFLY STOPPED AND PRESSURE IS REMOVED FROM ACCELERATOR, WHEN PRESSING ACCELERATOR TO MOVE AGAIN THERE IS A 1-2 SECOND DELAY IN RESPONSE. TRANSMISSION SEEMS TO BE IN WRONG GEAR THEN SHIFTS AFTER A DELAY RESULTING IN CAR NOT RESPONDING TO THROTTLE INPUT THEN JUMPING UNEXPECTEDLY. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE WHEN EXECUTING LEFT OR RIGHT TURNS INTO TRAFFIC SINCE CAR DOESN'T RESPOND AS EXPECTED AND NORMAL. VERY EASY TO REPRODUCE THIS ISSUE.
NEW VEHICLE, LESS THAN 600 MILES, ERRATIC GAS PEDAL, START AT STOP SIGN, CAR LAGS/STALLS. BEEN AT DEALERSHIP FOR 3 WEEKS, THEY TELL ME IT IS WITHIN LAND ROVER SPEC. CAR SEVERELY HESITATES WHEN GOING FROM STOP. BEEN ALMOST HIT BROAD SIDE THREE TIMES. THIS HAPPENS NO MATTER IF THE ECO STOP/START IS ACTIVE OR NOT. WILL NOT DRIVE THIS VEHICLE, VERY DANGEROUS. NOT GETTING ANYWHERE WITH DEALER FOR HELP. DEALER SAYS LAND ROVER INVESTIGATING. ALSO, BACK UP CAMERA NON OPERATIVE, THIRD ONE INSTALLED, STILL NOT WORKING AND HAVE TO ORDER FROM UK.
