Example complaints

Electrical system: “One month after purchasing my Land Rover Discovery I noticed there was a lag time when trying to accelerate when making a turn. I took it to the dealership and they said it should be resolved by updating the system. They updated it but it continued to have the lag issue so I complained again and they said it's the nature of the car. I told them this was very dangerous and they claim they haven't received enough complaints to say it's an issue with car. …”

NHTSA complaint #11385482, filed 2020-12, 500 miles

Other or unknown: “There's a water-proofing defect with the Discovery Land Rover (at least 2017-2019). I previously purchased new a 2017 Discovery new, and water entered from the roof and windshield and the dealer replaced it with a 2019. Same issue is occurring - with rain water entering from windshield and roof and flooding interior of car. Appears to be a defect in manufacturing that causes safety issues as water is literally dripping on the driver and front interior while I drive the car.”

NHTSA complaint #11322771, filed 2020-04, 5,000 miles

Engine: “Bought car last may, 2019, and within four months was back and forth to the dealership for repairs. Water got inside my vehicle from the front windshield with water everywhere inside, including the dashboard, screen and main console. Dealership said it was from the window recalls, but mine never was recalled. They said the seals where faulty. Faulty engine o2 sensor (three faulty codes) right when I was driving back from my windshield repair. Turned around and dropped car back off. Camera system fault message was on the screen. They claim nothing was wrong. …”

NHTSA complaint #11308841, filed 2020-02, 779 miles

Latches, locks and linkages: “The door latch on the rear right of the car failed while driving, Door wouldn't close, My 8 year old son sits on that side for school runs. This was replaced under the recall but it failed again. Also I've had 2 window regulators go in this vehicle apparently it's a common problem window would not go up or down.”
