2022 LAND ROVER DEFENDER Complaints

The Windshield cracked for no apparent reason. The crack starts from the bottom of the windshield and spreading upwards. I have been reading that this is a common problem with all land rover defenders. I filed an insurance claim to replace the windshield through Safelight which is going to cost me $500 deductible. I do not understand why this problem is not being addressed by Land Rover and why there has not been a major recall for this issue. I'm sure that this is going to happen again after replacement. It is very sad to purchase such an expensive vehicle and the windshield breaks after just a couple weeks of ownership. I know I have to get it replaced because it will only spread and I won't be able to see the road when I'm driving.

Went to turn on vehicle and experienced a complete shutdown of power steering system. Lane assist not available message was the only error presented.

I Have a 2022 Land Rover defender 110 and it had 8,000 miles on it. One day I was driving and the windshield just cracked, nothing had hit it and no visible chips were present. I have yet to receive a replacement windshield.

The drivers side A-pillar continues to fall off/come loose at high speeds. It happened on 2 times already resulting in around 20-inch body part falling off on the highway and flapping causing immediate pull over

My land Rover Defender is 5 months old with 5,765 miles on it. Driving through the car wash today the windshield "popped" and a large crack started in the top center and spread out both directions in what looks like a mustache. No chip, vehicle was not moving and the windshield failed. Unacceptable.

The engine cut out whilst going 90kmph on a four lane freeway. I had about 10 seconds to react before it rolled to a complete stop - it wouldn't connect the gas at all. Extremely unsafe situation, other cars beeping their horns in panic as they swerved past me. Lucky to not have caused a serious collision and die today. I ended up in between the third lane and the fourth lane exit. Waited there for 2 mins with cars going past me at full speed. Restarted and was able to take the exit where it continued to stall and eventually the vehicle was towed to the dealership. I've had the vehicle 48 hours at 325km total.

Sounds of a clicking noise when accelerating from takeoff and braking. I have moved the seat up and down to see if that would help and it continues to click. Vehicle has 6500 miles on it.

My windshield crack on its own when it was not even being driven. It appears to be a stress crack as it is a small V at the top center comes down the middle and across the passenger side. Only owned the car a few months and barely driven. I took to the dealer and they said they wouldn't chance covering by warranty out of fear corporate would deny the claim. Spoke with corporate and after a month they finally responded and said they wouldn't cover or have anyone further inspect as they rely on their dealers only and if I was satisfied I should go through arbitration. This appears to be a known issue now and concerning that they wouldn't want to investigate further. My windshield is heated and I wonder if there is a design flaw in the filament put inside the glass? Upsetting to deal with and shocked by lack or responsiveness from Land Rover.

For the SECOND time, my windshield cracked in the upper right corner with no impact. The second time, I wasn’t even driving! The crack looks nearly identical, even as it runs. I paid for a new windshield the first time because they insisted that a rock hit me, although none of the people in the car ever heard or saw that. This time, I wasn’t even driving.

Windshield cracked spontaneously while washing. No chips, no damage and hand washed vehicle. Crack is blocking visibility and starts at top of windshield and spiders into 3 cracks.
