“I purchased a brand new 2017 Land Rover Discovery Sport hse for my daughter on may 20, 2017 from rusnak jaguar/Land Rover in anaheim hills, california and it has been at the Land Rover dealership more than it has been in my house. We noticed within a few days of buying the vehicle that there was a loud noise coming from the passenger's side. The dealership confirmed the noise being the b pillar. The service manager instructed a Land Rover lead service tech to do a road test with me and he verified the creaking noise. …”
NHTSA complaint #11024120, filed 2017-09, 110 miles“There were poor construction of the b pillar and spot welds that have made the frame less stable. The issue has not been able to be resolved through multiple attempts at repair, and the manufacturer has known this issue and now does not want to repair, replace or refund. This has also created a distracting issue of noise in the driver ear that makes it distrcting to drive. …”
NHTSA complaint #11151034, filed 2018-11, 9,000 miles“The bottom part of my front grille came loose. After checking, the fixtures at the top were still ok, but one of the brackets that holds it at the bottom seemed to have broken. Entire piece lies behind the front bumper. The car has never been in an accident, not has been hit in the front. There is no damage to the outside of the grille, no scratches that would have indicated that another car would have hit it. Upon some research, I came across several cases, and it seems to be a known issue with this car. …”
NHTSA complaint #11502979, filed 2023-01“The door hinge cables within the door panels comes loose. This prevents the passenger the ability to open the door of the vehicle from the inside. At first my front passenger door came loose so I took it back to the Land Rover dealership and had it fixed by them removing the panel and re-hooking the door cable. Now my driver front door has come loose and I am unable to open my door from the inside. I am now currently waiting on the Land Rover dealership to return my calls to have this fixed. At first this was aggravating, however this is now a safety issue. …”
