TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 LAND ROVER RANGE ROVER VELAR. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED, THERE WAS A FUEL ODOR INSIDE AND AROUND THE VEHICLE.

THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 10,000.

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.
