2017 LAND ROVER RANGE ROVER Complaints

The issue has to do with the Navigation System. It is so bad, it is dangerous. In Napa, CA the system was telling me to turn the wrong way on a one way street. In Nevada, it nearly took us off a cliff in the mountains. I have advised Land Rover of this issue, but they couldn't care less. I'm not sure if Navigation Systems falls in the safety recall category, but in this case I think it should. Land Rover's position is I can pay for a maps update (over $500), but still no guarantee this will resolve the issue. I'll happily provide you with more details if it will help you determine the dangers or risks into which this system puts its drivers. Someone should really care enough to look into this. I've never had a car with such a horrible Nav system.

The entire top of windshield is not secured to the vehicle. This was first noticed when water came into the interior cabin while being driven in the rain. Upon further inspection I've discovered even a slight push on the windshield, from the inside of the car, causes the windshield to raise up away from the vehicle. This happens along the entire top of the windshield from driver's side to passenger side of the vehicle. The dealer has inspected the vehicle and confirmed the fix for this is to replace the windshield. I've also made Jaguar Land Rover North America aware this issue is affecting my specific vehicle. They are already aware that this issue is happening - please reference Tech Bulletin N221NAS4 issued on March 20, 2020. However, there has not been a recall, and this repair is not considered a warranty item. There was a 2 month wait to have my vehicle looked at by the dealer, and now an expected 3 month wait for the new windshield to be installed. In the mean time, I believe this is a safety hazard because the windshield will not function properly in a crash. In addition, if driven in the rain, the water rolling down the inside of the windshield or pouring onto the steering wheel and seat of the driver presents a hazard. I have video of the water leaking into the vehicle and also of the windshield movement.

The back rear door keeps causing the alarm to malfunction and go off. Also, as I was driving on the main road the back door came open on a passenger seated in the back. This was a major scare & could’ve been very deadly if my passenger didn’t have their seat belt on.

Front Passenger seatbelt does not stay latched which puts any passengers in vehicle in harms way due to faulty buckle. Which in case of wreck could cause bodily harm or death due to faulty equipment. Range Rover states since my vin is not on recall list they will not replace. Local Range Rover service department is going to charge over $400 to replace since they state out of warranty even though vehicle is under 50k miles.

Original Windshield leaks heavily causing extremely poor visibility in the rain. I paid to have it fixed because I couldn’t see out of it.

The windshield seal has failed causing leakage and fogged glass in humid or wet weather. This impedes the sight of the driver when glass suddenly is not clear. This has been confirmed by the land Rover dealership and LOTS of people online as a known issue. The issue has also been inspected by insurance. Failed seal was first noticed by the dealership 6/2021. It progressively is getting worse. There have been no chips or cracks in the windshield either. My car is always parked inside so there are no other outside factors to cause the failing of the seal.
