Owner reports filed with NHTSA about this vehicle, newest first and reproduced as filed. They are unverified accounts: one proves nothing, and a pattern across many is the thing worth reading. Back to the full 2017 record →
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.
2017 LAND ROVER DISCOVERY. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO FAULTY SUSPENSION COMPRESSION PUMP. *LD THE CONSUMER STATED THE SUSPENSION COMPRESSION PUMP WAS FAULTY. THE VIN WAS INVALID. *JS
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 LAND ROVER DISCOVERY. WHILE DRIVING, THE NAVIGATION SYSTEM WENT BLACK, AND THE RADIO AND BLUETOOTH FAILED TO FUNCTION BEFORE RESETTING INDEPENDENTLY. THE FAILURE RECURRED THREE TIMES. WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE BRAKE LIGHTS FAILED TO ILLUMINATE. 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.
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.
NHTSA publishes every complaint as the owner wrote it and investigates only a fraction. Spelling, capitalisation and judgement are the filer’s own. What carries weight is repetition: the same component failing the same way across many filings, and whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.
