2018 Land Rover Range Rover Velar

When I’m driving my high beams automatically come on and blind the drivets ahead of me. They come on by themselves and it’s not even dark enough for them to be on. It happens when I’m on the freeway going to work. This has happened more than once. It’s happened four times already and it worries me cause I don’t want someone to think I’m flicking my high beams at them!!!

I've been having various start/stop issues with my car in the middle of traffic with are real safety issues. My first visit at Land Rover dealership was back on July 12, 2024 for a powertrain recall. Full inspection during that time revealed that everything else worked fine with my car expect that a new set of tires were needed. Since then, I had intermittent window and blinder issues not working and various not functional start/stop feature. I had to replace the window driver switch and recently, I started having start up issues and have changed the battery. Going back to the dealer for inspection, I was informed that the reason why my car will randomly stopped in the middle of traffic is I need an update of my software transmission control module. I feel is a fundamental safety issue that was undetected from previous visit. Other issues that were raised by the dealer include an oil leak and the need to replace both the supercharger adn main drive belt because of oil saturation. I would add that this type of car had a known water pump manufacturing issues that I am not sure has been recalled. I also had to bear the costs of replacing the water pump for my car.I would like Jaguar/Land ROVER to cover these costs of repairs and work with me to address the outstanding issues specially the software related issues.

Safety feature: Day time running led light is not working properly. Turns on when the engine starts but then cuts off. The problem is that in order to repair the issue the whole headlight assembly has to be replaced. The dealer refuses to replace the assembly under the extended warranty because they indicate led lights aren’t covered. Due to the complexity of the issue and the cost of the part, the life expectancy of the part should last well past 5 years. All other dealerships cover the replacement of this part under their extended warranty as it is a common issue.

Dial shifter complaint about the car being place in park inside my garage, left the car door open to return inside the home and once I was 100% out of the vehicle as witnessed by my neighbors, the car went out of park mode causing damaged to the car and my home. What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? (Dial Shifter) How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? (In order to stop the car, I risked my life by attempting to jump inside a moving car to place it back in park mode. This was to avoid any further damage, hitting my neighbors house or any pediatricians walking/playing near by.) Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? This problem have been reported by other consumers.

(This car have been towed to a local Range Rover dealership to address the complaint.) Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? (No symptoms)

THE SOFTWARE OF THE CAR HAS A LOT OF BUGS. THE DISPLAYS ON THE CENTER CONSOLE TURNS OFF , THE RADIO CONNECTION COMES AND GO AND THIS IS IN NYC. A FRIEND HAD HIS 2015 BMW TO SAME RADIO STATION AS MY CAR AND THEY WERE RIGHT NEXT TO EACH OTHER. I WAS NOT GETTING ANY SIGNAL WHILE HIS WAS PLAYING. THE CAR FOGS AND MAKES IT VERY HARD TO SEE AND DRIVE. I HAD TO TAKE THE CAR IN FOR SERVICE 4 TIMES IN ONE DUE TO THIS AND SOFTWARE ISSUE.

WHEN THE FRONT WINDSHIELD FOGS UP IN THE MORNINGS/NIGHT, THE DEFOGGER VENTILATION JUST BELOW THE FRONT WINDSHIELD, DOES NOT TOTALLY CLEAR THE CONDENSATION, LEAVING BEHIND A BIG PATCH OF CONDENSATION THAT OBSTRUCTS CLEAR VISIBILITY. ALSO, I AM FACING A MAJOR PROBLEM WITH THE MEDIA SCREENS AND ENTERTAINMENT SYSTEM SINCE THE TIME I BOUGHT THE CAR. WHILE OPERATING THE CAR,THE TWO MEDIA SCREENS TURN OFF FROM TIME TO TIME. SOME DAYS, ONLY THE MEDIA PLAYER AND BLUETOOTH CONNECTIVITY DOES NOT WORK. FROM TIME TO TIME, WHEN I CONNECT MY PHONES (IPHONE X AND IPHONE XS) VIA USB CABLE, THE PHONE IS NOT DETECTED. THIS IS NOT ALWAYS THE CASE, BUT IT HAPPENS MORE OFTEN THAN I IMAGINED.

WHEN TRYING TO DRIVE MY WIFE'S VEHICLE THE GAUGES FOR SPEED, TACHOMETER, VEHICLE STATUS ETC TURN OFF. THE TWO TOUCH SCREENS ALSO TURN OFF SO CANNOT CONTROL ANY CLIMATE, RADIO, DRIVE SETTINGS ETC. IT WILL COME ON INTERMITTENTLY AND TURN BACK OFF WITHOUT WARNING. THE CAR STILL OPERATES BUT WITHOUT ANY INSTRUMENTATION. UNKNOWN HOW THIS AFFECTS SAFETY FEATURES SUCH AS AIRBAGS.WHEN MY WIFE DRIVES IT IS LESS INTERMITTENT BUT HAPPENS FROM TIME TO TIME. IF I ATTEMPT TO START THE CAR SOMETIMES IT WON'T EVEN TURN ON BUT AFTER A COUPLE MINUTES I CAN GET IT TO START. IT IS PUSH BUTTON. HAVE TRIED BOTH SET OF KEYS.
