I IMMEDIATELY HAD PROBLEMS WITH ELECTRICAL. WARNING SYSTEMS INTERMITTENTLY NOT FUNCTIONING PROPERLY, SCREEN RANDOMLY CHANGING DURING DRIVING AND DEFAULTING TO SETTINGS THAT REQUIRE ME TO PULL OVER, STOP CAR AND RESTART AS IN REBOOTING A COMPUTER. LANE KEEP ASSIST INTERMITTENT. BRIGHTS INTERMITTENT. CAR POWERS DOWN ENTIRELY ABOUT 50% OF TIME WHEN I OUT IT IN PARK...EVEN WITHOUT TAKING SEATBELT OFF. MAP WILL SUDDENLY SWITCH TO ENTRY SCREEN ASKING ME TO SIGN IN WHEN I ALREADY HAVE AND LISTS ADDRESSES I'VE NEVER BEEN TO. THIS HAPPENS WHILE DRIVING. ALL HAPPENS WHILE DRIVING, PARKING OR TURNING EXCEPT OF COURSE THE POWERING DOWN IN PARK. BTW, I DON'T MEAN IDLING DOWN WHICH IT IS SUPPOSED TO DO, IT SHUTS OFF. DEALER HAS REFUSED TO DO ANYTHING. IT HAS BEEN IN SHOP 4 TIMES AND THEY SAY THEY CANNOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEMS EVEN THOUGH I HAVE VIDEOTAPE AND PHOTOGRAPHS AND WITNESSES.

Summary

MY CHILD WAS TANGLED IN THE REAR SEAT BELT WHILE THE CAR WAS PARKED. EVERY TIME WE TRIED TO GET SOME EXTRA SLACK IN THE SEAT BELT IT WOULD CONTINUE TO GET TIGHTER AND SQUEEZE HER AROUND HER WAIST. THE SEAT BELT WOULD NOT RELEASE EVEN AFTER TURNING THE CAR OFF THE BELT CONTINUED TO STAY LOCKED AND ANY SLACK WOULD BE PULLED INTO THE CHAMBER TO PUT HER IN TIGHTER PAIN. THE ONLY WAY TO FREE HER FROM THE CAR WAS TO CUT THE SEAT BELT THIS IS CLEARLY A DEFECT IN THE SAFETY PORTION OF THE CAR.

Summary

THE CAR BASICALLY SHUT DOWN WHILE RUNNING. IT STARTED TO SHAKE AND THAN JUST POWERED DOWN, TWICE. ACCORDING TO THE DEALERSHIP THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THE "PURGE SYSTEM" THEY OLD ME THE VEHICLE WAS RELEASED TO EARLY . THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THE SOFTWARE AND MANAGEMENT SYSTEM. THE CAR IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE . WHEN THE CAR POWERED DOWN I WAS AT A RED LIGHT INCHING FORWARD, THE CAR STARTED TO SHAKE AND THE RED BATTERY LIGHT CAME ON. I TURNED EVERYTHING OFF AND WAS ABLE TO MOVE FORWARD BUT ONLY SLIGHTLY AND THE CAR POWERED DOWN AGAIN ( I ALSO CAUSED A SMALL ACCIDENT BEHIND ME) THE CAR ALWAYS FELT LIKE IT WAS WORKING HARD TO ACCELERATE AND FELT LIKE IT WAS "STICKING" . IN SPEAKING WITH THE SERVICE TEAM AT RANGE ROVER THE VELAR IN GENERAL HAS HAD ISSUES AND THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT CANT KEEP UP. THE CAR ISN'T SAFE AND I'VE BEEN TOLD IT MAY NEED TO GO BACK IN EVEN AFTER THE REPAIR.

Summary

THE LAND ROVER VELAR WAS PURCHASE ON JANUARY 25, 2020 FROM STEVENS CREEK JAGUAR LAND OVER OF SAN JOSE, CA. WHEN IT REACHED 1600 MILES, I FOUND THAT THE VEHICLE HAD THE OIL LEAKAGE PHENOMENON. THERE IS A LOT OF OIL AT THE BOTTOM OF THE VEHICLE. I SUSPECTED THAT THERE WAS A LEAKAGE PROBLEM WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED. I CONTACTED THE DEALER REPAIR SERVICE ON MARCH 18, 2020 AND SEND THE VEHICLE BACK. ON APRIL 1, 2020, I WAS NOTIFIED THAT THE REPAIR WAS COMPLETED. THEY TEST DROVE IT FOR 40 MILES. ON APRIL 3, THE VEHICLE WAS AT 1,745 MILES. I LAID DOWN UNDERNEATH TO EXAMINE THE BOTTOM OF MY VEHICLE AGAIN TO EXAMINE. THE OIL WAS STILL LEAKING EVEN MORE SERIOUS THAN BEFORE THE PREVIOUS REPAIR. ON APRIL 21, 2020, THE REPAIR WAS COMPLETED. ON APRIL 23, THERE WAS STILL OIL AT THE BOTTOM OF THE VEHICLE. THE MAINTENANCE STAFF STATED THAT THERE WAS RESIDUAL OIL AT THE BOTTOM OF THE CAR. SO HE CLEANED IT UP AND ADVISED US TO DRIVE IT MORE THAN 400 MILES FOR THE RESIDUAL OIL TO BE DISAPPEARED. ON MAY 19, 2020. I CAME TO THE REPAIR SERVICES OF DEALERSHIP FOR THE FOURTH TIME. THE VEHICLE WAS AT 2,648 MILES. REPAIR STAFF WAS NOT SURE WHETHER THERE WAS A LEAK. HE LET US LEFT THE VEHICLE AT THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPARTMENT FOR MORE INSPECTION. AND NO LOANER'S VEHICLE WAS PROVIDED. WHICH MAKE US VERY INCONVENIENT. ON JUNE 4, I WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP AGAIN. THEY LEND ME A JAGUAR TO USE. BUT MY VELAR WAS STILL IN THE SERVICE UNTIL CURRENT. *TR
