A NEW DISCOVERY HSE 2017 WAS LEAKING AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION AFTER BEING USED FOR APPROX. 980 MILES. THE LEAK SEEMS TO COME FROM THE REAR TRANSMISSION / TRANSFER CASE AREA. BASED ON OBSERVATION, THE OIL WEEPS THROUGH THE ALUMINIUM CASING AND DROPS IN THE GARAGE FLOOR. THIS WAS IMMEDIATELY REPORTED TO THE JLR DEALERSHIP ON JUNE 14, 2018 AND ITS BEING THERE SINCE THEN FOR A TRANSMISSION REPLACEMENT BASED ON A SERVICE BULLETIN. THE SUV WAS ONLY USED FOR 2 WEEKS AND THE FIRST DROP OF OIL WAS FOUND ON THE DRIVEWAY FLOOR OVER THE COURSE OF THE 2ND WEEK, EVERYDAY AFTER DRIVING FROM WORK.

FRIDAY MAY 11, 2018 WHILE DRIVING WESTBOUND ON TWO LANE HIGHWAY US 90, APPROXIMATELY 8 MILES EAST OF LIBERTY, TEXAS POWER FAILED. WAS DRIVING 60 MILES PER HOUR, APPROXIMATELY, AND TWO WARNING MESSAGES APPEARED. GEARBOX FAULT AND PARKING BRAKE FAULT. I WAS ABLE TO PULL OUT OF TRAFFIC LANE BY COASTING AND STOP ON SIDE OF ROAD. PLACED VEHICLE IN PARK AND READ THE FAULTS AGAIN. WAS NOT ABLE TO MOVE GEAR SELECTOR OUT OF PARK. SHUT OFF ENGINE AND RESTARTED WITH FOOT ON BRAKE. STILL SAME FAULT MESSAGES ALTERNATING. UNABLE TO SHIFT OUT OF PARK WITH FOOT ON BRAKE. CALLED LAND ROVER ASSISTANCE AND THEY SUGGESTED TURNING VEHICLE BACK OFF AND THEN ON AGAIN. NO RESOLUTION AFTER THREE TRIES. VEHICLE TOWED BY FLATBED WRECKER TO SOUTHWEST LAND ROVER HOUSTON TEXAS. WRECKER DRIVER STATED THIS WAS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH LAND ROVERS IN GENERAL AND WAS VERY HELPFUL. AT DEALER THE VEHICLE WAS UNLOADED FROM WRECKER AND NO PROBLEMS FOUND. DEALER DID NOT HAVE EXPLANATION FOR REASON NO POWER AND COULD NOT SHIFT OUT OF PARK. NO FAULT CODES WERE RECORDED BY COMPUTER. IF ROAD DID NOT HAVE SHOULDER, COULD HAVE CAUSED SEROUS OR FATAL ACCIDENT. MANY ROADS IN HOUSTON DO NOT HAVE ESCAPE LANES OR SHOULDERS AND SPEEDS ARE IN EXCESS OF 60 MPH. CONCERNED NO FAULT CODES RECORDED AND NO GUARANTEE WILL NOT HAPPEN AGAIN.

THE REAR FOG LIGHTS ARE PLACED DIRECTLY IN THE LINE OF SIGHT OF MOST PASSENGER CARS. THE BUTTON ON THE STALK MAKES IT TOO EASY FOR DRIVERS TO DEPRESS IT, BLINDING MOTORISTS FOLLOWING THE CAR AND CAUSING DANGEROUS VISIBILITY ISSUES. IN FOUR INSTANCES IN LESS THAN TWO WEEKS, I HAVE HAD TO ALTER MY PATH OR PULL OFF THE ROADWAY TO AVOID THIS MAKE OF VEHICLE RUNNING REAR FOGS IN THE BROAD DAYLIGHT.

THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO LAND ROVER FT LAUDERDALE IN FT LAUDERDALE, FL 33064 WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED, BUT THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DETERMINED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 3,000.

MY 2017 DISCOVERY SPORT WITH 22K MILES, RANDOMLY SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING. THE FIRST TIME WAS ON THE FREEWAY IN TRAFFIC, AND THE CAR SHUT OFF, I HAD TO PUT IT IN PARK AND RESTART THE CAR TO PUT IT BACK IN GEAR. IT WENT TO THE DEALER WHO SAID IT WAS A SOFTWARE PROBLEM, THEY UPDATED THE SOFTWARE AND RETURNED IT TO ME. FOUR DAYS LATER IT HAPPENED AGAIN, TOTAL SHUT OFF WHILE IN MOVEMENT, ENGINE HAD TO BE RESTARTED! NOT WORTH MY LIFE!!!

I PURCHASED A BRAND NEW 2017 LAND ROVER DISCOVERY SPORT HSE FOR MY DAUGHTER ON MAY 20, 2017 FROM RUSNAK JAGUAR/LAND ROVER IN ANAHEIM HILLS, CALIFORNIA AND IT HAS BEEN AT THE LAND ROVER DEALERSHIP MORE THAN IT HAS BEEN IN MY HOUSE. WE NOTICED WITHIN A FEW DAYS OF BUYING THE VEHICLE THAT THERE WAS A LOUD NOISE COMING FROM THE PASSENGER'S SIDE. THE DEALERSHIP CONFIRMED THE NOISE BEING THE B PILLAR. THE SERVICE MANAGER INSTRUCTED A LAND ROVER LEAD SERVICE TECH TO DO A ROAD TEST WITH ME AND HE VERIFIED THE CREAKING NOISE. WE HAVE LEFT THE VEHICLE WITH THE DEALERSHIP MANY TIMES AND AFTER SEVERAL FAILED ATTEMPTS TO FIX THE B PILLAR (IT HAS BEEN DOCUMENTED THAT SERVICE EVEN USED CAULKING TO TRY AND FIX THE B PILLAR) WHICH ALSO FAILED. WE ARE VERY DISAPPOINTED THAT THE LAND ROVER DEALERSHIP/SERVICE CENTER CANNOT FIX THE PROBLEM AFTER THE 4TH TIME. I PAID CASH FOR THIS VEHICLE AND I AM NOT HAPPY AT ALL. I HAVE SUBMITTED EMAILS AND SPOKE WITH THE DEALER ABOUT THE CONCERN FOR MY FAMILY'S SAFETY WHILE THE VEHICLE IS BEING DRIVEN. THIS IS A BLATANT DISREGARD FOR MY FAMILY'S SAFETY; BEING THAT THE STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY OF THIS VEHICLE IS UNDERMINED. THIS 2017 LAND ROVER DISCOVERY SPORT HSE IS A COMPLETE LEMON AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED IMMEDIATELY SINCE THE LAND ROVER SERVICE CENTER HAS HAD NUMEROUS ATTEMPTS AND AMPLE TIME TO REPAIR B PILLAR. ON THE DEALERSHIPS LAST ATTEMPT TO FIX THE B PILLAR (BY USING CAULKING) IT IS STILL CREAKING WITH A METAL SOUND.

VEHICLE HAS SEVERE DEFECTS RELATING TO THE CLIMATE CONTROL FUNCTIONS. 1) IN HOT WEATHER, IT CANNOT COOL DOWN THE CAR, 2) DUE TO HAVING TO KEEP THE CLIMATE AT LO/MAX, I AM GETTING 9-10 MPG (16 CITY IS STATED), 3) INDEPENDENT CLIMATE CONTROL FUNCTIONS DO NOT WORK, 4) NO VENTILATION IN 2/3 OF CAR.

THE 2017 DISCOVERY HAS BEEN DESIGNED WITH ONLY 4 AIR VENTS IN THE FRONT DASH AND 2 VERY WEAK AIR VENTS IN THE 2ND ROW. THIS IS A 3 ROW PASSENGER VEHICLE WITH NO VENTS IN THE 3RD ROW. THE CAR IS MISSING AT LEAST 4 VENTS AND IS CREATING A SAFETY HAZARD IN HOT AND COLD ENVIRONMENTS. I CANNOT HAVE PASSENGERS OR ANIMALS IN THE REAR OF THE CAR DUE TO THE LACK OF VENTILATION IN THE VEHICLE. IN ADDITION, DUE TO ATTEMPTING TO COOL THE CAR DOWN, RUNNING THE CAR WITH MAX AC IS GIVING ME ONLY 9-10 MPG. CAR IS ADVERTISED AS 16 MPG CITY. THIS IS A BLATANT DESIGN AND SAFETY ISSUE FOR CLIMATE CONTROL AND FALSE MPG STANDARDS.
