2017 LAND ROVER DISCOVERY Complaints

I have replaced the tires, the rotors brakes and gad the vehicle aligned multiple times. The steering wheel is still off and not straight and the vehicle still keeps pulling to the right. Last mechanic that did alignment says the vehicle has no camber or castor that can be adjusted. But vehicle is aligned. Makes no sense to me, I believe this is a manufacturing defect.

My vehicle's windshield has been replaced by Land Rover due to a NHTSA recall in 2018/2019.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. However, I recently began to get water inside the vehicle and the same issue is happening again, even though Land Rover replaced the windshield at its San Diego dealership. 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. According to the mechanic, this is most likely because the dealer did not install a new windshield with primer for the urethane caulking that holds the windshield in place, creating both a safety problem as well as a problem with water entering the cabin.

It has only been a year and since I have had the vehicle the engine light kept coming on I took it back, they reset it it came back on I have Extended Warranty on the vehicle and they are trying to charge me to fix the issue because they do not have the tools to fix it and it has to go to an authorized Land Rover dealer service department.

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. While I am lucky to be safe and have adequate insurance, others may not fair so well when their Land Rover Discovery 5 petrol catches fire.

I was driving on a very busy road in Portland when my engine suffered catastrophic failure and seized the engine. This was due to a defect in the crankshaft. My family and I are lucky this didn’t happen at speed on a highway. Land Rover has failed to acknowledge a problem despite thousands of people experiencing the same. This resulted in a 26k bill. I just found out I could report my experience so I am now. Research has uncovered this is a common problem and a safety concern for many others as well. https://www.thepetitionsite.com/535/903/886/land-rover-sdv6-amp-tdv6-crank-failure/ https://www.lrukforums.com/threads/crank-shaft-snapping.263315/ There are countless other websites detailing people’s experiences.
