“First three days before 5/14/2019 the seatbelts lights were on and off, and on may14/2019 I was on my way to work the car just stop in the middle of the road. .. The break were locked.”
NHTSA complaint #11208546, filed 2019-05, 40,000 miles“I was driving on main road at the speed limit (45 MPH). I had slowed down as I observed a car pulling out ahead of me onto the road. As I gave my vehicle gas in order to get back up to speed, I felt a pause in the engine and then the car completely lost power- the engine stopped, the red battery icon appeared on the dash, and message appeared on the screen with the heading special program suspended or something to that effect-- I had no time to read that message as I had to steer my car as far to the right as I was able to. …”
NHTSA complaint #11209915, filed 2019-05, 37,108 miles“The 2017 Discovery has been designed with only 4 air vents in the front dash and 2 very weak air vents in the 2nd row. This is a 3 row passenger vehicle with no vents in the 3rd row. The car is missing at least 4 vents and is creating a safety hazard in hot and cold environments. I cannot have passengers or animals in the rear of the car due to the lack of ventilation in the vehicle. In addition, due to attempting to cool the car down, running the car with max AC is giving me only 9-10 mpg. Car is advertised as 16 mpg city. …”

NHTSA complaint #11002969, filed 2017-07, 300 miles“Driving down the highway, the vehicle all the sudden started smoking, forcing me to pull over. Upon pulling over, I found it was a fire under the left front hood based on the smoke pouring out. I called 911 immediately. I attempted to save some belongings, including my $200K boat, but failed to save anything as the fire rapidly grew forcing me to step far away. I then watched my car, boat and belongings all perish to nearly nothing before the fire department arrived and put out the fire. …”
