2017 Land Rover Discovery Sport Engine Problems

“My 2017 Discovery Sport with 22k miles, randomly shuts off while driving. The first time was on the freeway in traffic, and the car shut off, I had to put it in park and restart the car to put it back in gear. It went to the dealer who said it was a software problem, they updated the software and returned it to me. Four days later it happened again, total shut off while in movement, engine had to be restarted! Not worth my life!!!”

“I was driving from westchester county, ny to long island via I-695 heading toward the throgs neck bridge on 12/12/18. I was in the left lane just before the last exit before the bridge when my dashboard went dark, the red battery light (below the speedometer) came on, I lost power and steering. Luckily a small shoulder opened up and I was able to tug the wheel left to get into the shoulder before my car completely rolled to a stop. I avoided a crash but it was luck. I had to be towed off the highway and back to the dealer. Clearly this was no battery issue (as driving recharges a batter). …”

“The vehicle would accelerate normally than out of the blue. It looses power, engine light illuminating advising not to continue driving. Code advising p0299 'turbo charger'common problem apparently mechanics advising online forums and repair ideas. Vehicle only has approximately 60,000 on it and all approved maintenance. Now they are denying major repair that is a common issue!!”

“Was driving speed limit and moving with traffic on major city road when battery light came on and car completely shut off. Was able to move to the right side of the road but still in the middle of oncoming traffic during rush hour. Car immediately went into park and could not move or turn on. Got a note on the dash that system was shutting down. Car had just been serviced 4 month prior.”

“Friday may 11, 2018 while driving westbound on two lane highway us 90, approximately 8 miles east of liberty, texas power failed. Was driving 60 miles per hour, approximately, and two warning messages appeared. Gearbox fault and parking brake fault. I was able to pull out of traffic lane by coasting and stop on side of road. Placed vehicle in park and read the faults again. Was not able to move gear selector out of park. Shut off engine and restarted with foot on brake. Still same fault messages alternating. Unable to shift out of park with foot on brake. …”
