In march 2036 my car just completely stopped in 5pm traffic and I was almost hit over a dozen times car wouldn’t albe to be moved because it completed died out. When I took it to JLR had to have it towed twice . They said it was the battery and that it needed to be calibrated, sent me home and same day car stalled again in a busy traffic, this time they said it was my alternator and that my own system was shorted out, and they had to replace the alternator. Wants to charge me $4k , then I get a call saying it’s the DC Dc Converter and it’s shorted out my electric system and alternator! Don’t know I’what to believe ! Before my car died it first said charging. Battery low and died out while I was getting Dutch bros but started up right away, two days later I got the warning lights all flashing and then died completely

While driving, the steering begins to bind and resist when turning, especially to the left. The wheel will “catch” and then suddenly release, causing a jerking motion and loss of smooth steering control. This creates a serious safety concern because the steering does not respond consistently. During the same event, the air suspension system lowered the vehicle into a safety mode without driver input. The suspension would not raise back up, and the dashboard displayed suspension warnings. The vehicle lowered itself immediately after the steering bind occurred. These symptoms match the same failure pattern described in the recall for 2014–2017 Range Rover and Range Rover Sport models involving front suspension/steering knuckle issues and steering safety concerns. Even though my 2013 model year is not included in the recall, it is experiencing the same steering binding and suspension safety-mode behavior. This issue creates a risk of loss of steering control and unsafe vehicle handling. I am requesting that NHTSA investigate whether the recall should be expanded to include the 2013 model year.

The steering wheel locks during left turns and then suddenly releases, while the onboard computer has generated a suspension error code and automatically lowered the vehicle for safety.

As I was driving along a red light came on and within 20 minutes my whole car , electronics and everything shut down on the turnpike and I could barely get off the road and was scared to death It was completely DEAD. I had to call Turnpike assistance and a flatbed Tow truck loaded up my car and it was taken to a dealership I had to have the MHEV DC/DC converter replaced and at an extremely huge cost of 2321.78.

I purchased my 2024 Land Rover Discovery new in March of 2024. In October of 2025, I found a large amount of water leaking through my windshield. Land Rover had my vehicle from October 2025 until April 2026. When it was returned to me it had mold in that had to be remidate3d and now my screen is starting to short. I am concerned of the safety of this vehicle and the amount of water that went into the electrical system.
