leaking water into the interior through headliner. researched online and multiple land rover discovery owners are having the same issues. Extremely dangerous while driving.

Low coolant warning came on. Topped off coolant with no leak visible under vehicle. Warning came back a week later. And leak was now visible. Vehicle towed to dealer and discovered bad water pump and hoses. Dealer cannot fix vehicle for last 5 weeks due to back ordered heater manifold tube. Under 45k miles and unusable. Dealer advised leak on belts requires them to be replaced. No global ETA on parts.

Roof panel trim blew off. This was very dangerous as I was on the highway. The panel could have hit a car behind me causing as accident. There is a technician bulletin that land rover is aware of. This is very dangerous when these panels are not secure and coming off when driving

Car went black (all systems shut off) and i started to roll in the CVS parking lot when i was trying to drive in and Park. The brakes and nothing was engaging. IT happened so fast I was able to stop the vehicle and I am not sure how but may have just turned the shifter from drive to park... I took the vehicle in for service (a number of issues) and i forgot to mention this, I was told the Ground Stud needed replacing and it turned out this was likely the cause (I believe he said it had come loose). I have a extended warranty that has comprehensive coverage with CNA and they denied this part. Also, Land Rover recalled this exact part on 2019 and 2020 vehicles, clearly my 2018 has the same issue. Makes me wonder how many other 2018 vehicles also have the issue?

Leaking front windshield at the center and right. Known issue with this car and series, but somehow this specific VIN is not in the group for the recall. This occurred exactly like the others and it should be covered. I had to argue with Aristocrat Motors in Miriam and they decided (for now, hasn't been completed) to cover it. This should be covered for the other VINS that aren't included in the recall.

1) Acceleration lags 1-2 seconds when you step on the gas pedal - have been almost hit many times when taking off at a stop light or changing lanes - very dangerous on streets, but also on the freeway. 2) Issue with electrical since the day I purchased it brand new in 2018 - auto stop-start only worked one time - dealer checked the vehicle out, declared the feature requires a fully charged battery to work but did not investigate why the battery is not fully charging; over the past 2 years I noticed the radio often continues to play even when I push the off button, headlights have burnt out 3 times, radio changed from Satellite to AM automatically last week, and it sometimes smells like burned wires. The car was recently at the dealer for service and their inspection found no issues. I did not take it there specifically for the issues noted here, however would expect their 16-point inspection to pick up these types of issues. Possibly, I'm mistaken and the inspection is not that comprehensive.

1) Low Coolant warning started flashing. I had the coolant checked on two days by different people and it was full both times. Both times I was told its a sensor issue, the dealership service center should look into it and all components and replace as necessary. 2) Occasionally when putting the car in park it automatically shuts off and locks in gear. 3) Occasionally when yielding the car is sluggish or there is no power at all when taking off again. All three issues put my safety, those with me and on the road with me at risk. The earliest appointment with the dealer is 24 days out. I bought it as a Certified Used Vehicle 8 weeks ago.

VEHICLE ROLLED BACK WHEN IN THE PARK POSITION. VEHICLE HAD NO OCCUPANTS. VEHICLE PARKED ON AN INCLINE. ROLL BACK OCCURRED SEVERAL MINUTES AFTER SHIFTER WAS PLACED IN THE PARK POSITION AND MINUTES AFTER I EXITED THE VEHICLE. EXTREMELY WORRISOME. 2018 LAND ROVER DISCOVERY*DT*JB
