2017 Land Rover Discovery Visibility (wipers, defrost, mirrors) Problems

“2017 Land Rover Discovery hse, major water leak from the upper corner, passenger side of the car. The leak happens when it rains or snows (both standing still or in motion). The water so far has touched the a-pillar airbag, the safety cameras on the windshield and other electrical wiring. Additionally the water finds its way to the carpeting on the floor. In one occasion today (1/8/2020) water spilled into my head from right above the rear-view mirror while I was taking an exit ramp. This got me distracted for a couple of seconds, almost running off the road. …”

“I was completely stopped at a red light. I have just left work and was 2 miles down the street. My rear window completely exploded. Glass flew everywhere. The noise was so loud that it caused ear pain. I have requested a complete inspection from the dealership along with a review of the EDR system and SDR. This happened on Wednesday 3/15. I am concerned this was electrical given the car had only been turned on for 3 minutes and i was at a complete stop with ZERO impact. …”

“My vehicle's windshield has been replaced by Land Rover due to a NHTSA recall in 2018/2019. The windshield was replaced by a Land Rover dealer in San Diego as soon as I was informed of the safety failure.

I originally thought the sunroof was leaking but upon taking it to a mechanic who specializes in sunroof repairs, we both determined that the windshield has failed again, creating a safety hazard. …”

“Front windshield has a leak for the second time. The first time it was replaced a year ago, and now the leak is in the top of the windshield frame causing water to leak onto the dash and also on to infotainment screen from the rear view mirror above. Loss and failure of electrical components is a real consternation in regard to this issue. Apparently this is an ongoing manufacturer production failure, with many complaints from owners of this vehicle across the internet. The service mgr. at the dealership informed me that I need to pay $650 to have the windshield replaced. …”

“I have a 2017 Land Rover Discovery with multiple episodes of significant water leakage problems due to a known windshield seal issue on the model as identified by the dealer. During the warranty the windshield and seal were replaced and would then fail twice, on the 2nd occurrence I instructed to the dealer to notate my account with concerns about electrical issues due to the amount of water that entered the dashboard, center console, and overhead electrical. Reviewing my own service records I can see electrical problems occurred on the vehicle with notes to let it dry out . …”
