2019 Land Rover Discovery

The contact owns a 2019 Land Rover. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the "Door Ajar" message was displayed. The contact stated that her daughter was seated in the rear seat when the rear driver's side door inadvertently opened while driving. The contact was able to close the rear driver's side door; however, the failure recurred, and the rear driver's side door failed to latch. The contact's husband secured the rear driver's door with a ratchet strap to prevent the door from opening. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where it was diagnosed that the rear driver's side door latch was internally faulty, and the rear driver's side door latch was replaced. The dealer informed the contact that the VIN was included in NHTSA Campaign Number: 23V393000 (Electrical System, Latches, Locks, and Linkages); however, the contact had not received the recall notification. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 58,000.

The contact owns a 2019 Land Rover Discovery. The contact stated after reversing and then shifting the vehicle into park, the warning light illuminated stating that the vehicle was in drive. The contact attempted to turn off the vehicle, but the vehicle failed to turn off. The contact disconnected the battery, and the vehicle was able to operate normally. The vehicle was taken to the dealer and the dealer stated that the fuse box needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was contacted, and the manufacturer stated the vehicle warranty had expired. The failure mileage was 70,000.

The car will go dead. Had battery replaced at dealer on 5-28-22. 2 days later the car was dead and will not start. After messing with the negative cable where it’s connected to the chassis was able to start the car. After the car was running for about a minute the negative cable was very hot to the touch. This has been an ongoing problem with this car. After see other recalls for this battery cable issue am afraid the car could die while driving it. Our VIN is not associated with any recall. We feel the car is unsafe to drive and can also leave was stranded.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2019 LAND ROVER DISCOVERY. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING AT UNDISCLOSED SPEEDS, THE SIDE VIEW MIRRORS FOLDED IN AND OUT INDEPENDENTLY. ADDITIONALLY, THE TRUCK WOULD UNLOCK INDEPENDENTLY. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO LAND ROVER PARAMUS (405 NJ-17, PARAMUS, NJ 07652) WHERE THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED FOR UNKNOWN ELECTRICAL ISSUES HOWEVER, THE FAILURE PERSISTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND OFFERED $1,500 TOWARDS THE PURCHASE OF ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 20,000.

ONE MONTH AFTER PURCHASING MY LAND ROVER DISCOVERY I NOTICED THERE WAS A LAG TIME WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE WHEN MAKING A TURN. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID IT SHOULD BE RESOLVED BY UPDATING THE SYSTEM. THEY UPDATED IT BUT IT CONTINUED TO HAVE THE LAG ISSUE SO I COMPLAINED AGAIN AND THEY SAID IT'S THE NATURE OF THE CAR. I TOLD THEM THIS WAS VERY DANGEROUS AND THEY CLAIM THEY HAVEN'T RECEIVED ENOUGH COMPLAINTS TO SAY IT'S AN ISSUE WITH CAR. I ALSO HAVE HAD OTHER ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS SUCH AS THE NAVIGATION SCREEN GOING BLANK WHILE DRIVING OR NOT COMING ON AT ALL AND ALSO MY REMOTE KEY FOBS DO NOT WORK ALL THE TIME. EVEN WITH THE REMOTES IN MY HAND NEAR THE CONSOLE THE CAR WILL SAY THEY ARE NOT DETECTED. I BROUGHT IT BACK TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THEY WERE FINE. TODAY, I RECEIVED A RECALL FROM LAND ROVER STATING THERE ARE VARIOUS ELECTRICAL ISSUES WITH CAR WHERE THE VEHICLE COULD CUT OUT WHILE IN MOTION AND MAY LOSE ALL ELECTRICAL POWER. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP TO FIND OUT THEY ARE BOOKED OUT FOR 3 WEEKS SO I WILL HAVE TO CONTINUE TO DRIVE THIS UNSAFE CAR. I THINK IT'S VERY IRRESPONSIBLE OF LAND ROVER TO PUT OWNERS IN A POSITION TO CONTINUE TO DRIVE A VERY UNSAFE CAR. THESE CARS SHOULD BE TAKEN OFF THE ROAD.
