Never Buy a Land Rover Discovery

Picked my Disco up last August...it was flat bedded back to the dealership within hours! It is in the dealership right now...it is the SIXTH time, and they usually have my car for 7-10 days every time. Only has 5000 miles on it and have had non-stop issues, many that you have featured on here. The infotainment system has been "update" 7 times and is STILL very much broken. Cameras, sensors, apps, nav, bluetooth, gets stuck off then gets stuck on even when the car is turned completely off and I am out of it...you name it...it's broken. It was in for nearly 2 weeks, and within a week I had to have it picked back up. Right now they are trying to fix: Hood cable is too long and could be a "very bad situation" (their words), the infamous infotainment system disaster, no less then 3 warning lights on, windshield washer fluid spilling everywhere and always showing it empty (even though it has not ever been used), and this big one: Twice while driving down the road (not while at a light, etc..) the car randomly shuts off and goes into an idle mode! The service guy today told me that he doesn't know why no one ever called me because it could have been very unsafe and he was sure that it scared me (it did!), and that this "should"take care of it. Apparently it was something with the ECM and their was a needed update to the engine control unit that is the Powertrain for the vehicle! Hand to God that's what he said! Iv'e been trying to give this car back for months...such a ridiculous situation and company. never again. Keep in mind this is only about half of the problems I have had

Do not buy a Discovery.

Bought this car due to the VW buyback--we had a Touareg TDI, and wanted another diesel vehicle. The Discovery ticked all the boxes: seemingly solid build quality, diesel efficiency, great handling, and plenty of storage space. Its price was less than that of a comparably equipped BMW X5/Mercedes. We also considered a Q7, but there is no diesel option. We have put on just over 2K miles in the month we have had it--fuel economy with 50/50 city/highway is spot on at 25.1mpg. Can't wait to take it on a road trip and see what it can do. It is a great riding vehicle, we have taken it off road a few times at our farm and it handled great--looking forward to the snow to see how it does. Again, this is the most expensive vehicle we have ever purchased, but getting our $ back from VW was a major factor in deciding to purchase it. Complaints: the rear driver's side door was not assembled very well-the arm rest is not flush, but the dealer will fix it. There was also a rattle in the exhaust shield, but that was easily fixed. Thus far, no leaks or other issues. The car is very quiet, and handles well for a vehicle of its size/weight. I would recommend this car. ****Update**** We now have nearly 9000 miles on the vehicle. Here are the highlights: the vehicle needs snow tires for winter driving in Wisconsin--the OEM tires are horrible in snow and ice. The 4WD system is great, and the winter driving mode are incredible, but the tires could be improved. -We had an issue with the DEF sensor in the extreme cold (ewe had a week of -10F)--it was remedied after several days at the dealership. -Our family appreciated the heated 2nd row seats and heated windshield, washer fluid nozzles, rear camera and headlight washers. -Great on a road trip--got 31mpg @ 73mph on the interstate. Plenty of room. -The vehicle gobbles up DEF. Have extra on hand, but don't overfill the tank, as it confuses the sensor, which could lead to an engine shutdown. -The navigation system suck-no voice commands-sadly, it is much easier to use Google maps on the iPhone. -The sound is great from the upgraded Meridian entertainment system. The interface through the Land Rover App sucks--it drops connection to the phone, causing the streaming to stop. -I wish it had apple car play. -The bluetooth phone system works great--very little background noise-very clear voice transmission. -There is a voluntary fix for the suspension. I have to schedule time to take the vehicle in for 45 min installation of a new part. Haven't done so yet. -Got the vehicle stuck in both mud and snow on our farm--but was able to get it unstuck using some the fancy 4wd settings. Pretty cool. It's a good car, that could be great with a few tech updates and better cold weather tires. ********Update August 2019******* ~29000 miles The car continues to have issues--glitches here and there, in the shop for a tailgate that was out of alignment, DEF heater/pump issues, interior panels coming loose, the back-up camera and entertainment system work intermittently. Never could get the hands free tailgate to work consistently. Additional electronic gremlins. Took forever to get a replacement windshield after it was destroyed by an errant golf ball while on the way to meet a client. Still gets great fuel economy, questionable reliability, and the dealership service staff were very inconsistent. Worried about future issues, costly maintenance, and low resale value, we traded it in for a 2019 VW Atlas. Now we don't have to worry about anything--other than crappy fuel economy.

2107 Discovery is a lemon and worse is the customer service from Alan’s Rover North America and Warren Henry North Dade!! For the past seven months I have had the truck I had electrical issues with the computer and the infotainment system. After for attempts to repair they couldn’t fix. I filed for final attempt and it didn’t work. So I have been fight with Warren Henry Land Rover North Dade and Land Rover North American. They didn’t want to return my money. I hate the way both the dealer and the manufacturer have handled my case. Sad after 12 years of being a client of Warren Henry and Land Rover they did this to me. I finally settled for 2 of the 7 payments I did and the accessories and settlement. It was the worse experience ever with a dealer and a manufacturer. I do NOT recommend buying from Warren Henry nor a Land Rover!!! They lost me as a client for ever and I will make it my goal to make sure everyone I can tell I will!!

Current mileage 35K, I have had this car for 2 years and 4 months. Here is the list of new issues since my last update: 1. This past summer the engine started losing coolant. It turned out that the water pump had a crack in it. The dealer replaced the water pump, issue was resolved. 2. After the water pump, the A/C started acting up and would not cool the car. After three visits to the dealer, it was finally determined that the A/C compressor had gone bad. By the time they managed to figure that out, fall had already arrived, so I have not had the change to fully test that. 3. Right before thanksgiving, one rainy morning, with no warning water started pouring down the upper corner, passenger side of the windshield. Called the dealer and they said that it is known issue with all 2017 and some 2018 Discoveries (talk about quality control). They said they need to order a new windshield for my Discovery. This was 2 months ago. I have called the dealer a number of times and they are still waiting for the part. Meanwhile the headliner is already destroyed the carpet is in a bad shape. Land Rover's customer service is telling me to park the car in a garage and not drive it. They are offering me $35/day for a rental. Not a happy experience. Good luck getting any kind of support from Land Rover. ******* This is a follow up to my original review from Dec 2017. Mechanically the Discovery has been a beast with no mechanical issues to report with 20K miles on the odometer. My biggest issue with the car was the infotainment system and also emergency breaking system (land rover calls it AEB) not working. In regards to the infotainment system I can report that after 4 software updates in the past 12 months, the system is finally working well. As a matter of fact I got the car back from the dealership yesterday (1/17/2019) and they even installed Apple Carplay on my 2017 Discovery ($350 charge for the upgrade). AEB is another story, I finally found a way to test a system without damaging a car (using cardboard cut-out of a car and also a person). The system kicks is very late, only with few feet between the car and the object. 3 out of 10 tries the system did not work at all and I ended up hitting the object. The audible warning is almost non existence. In general I don't trust the AEB system in this car. All said and done, I feel a better now comparing to the first few months of ownership of this car. The dealership support is very poor (at least for my local dealership) and same goes with Land Rover's customer service. They don't have much power over the dealer. So if you run into an issue with your local dealer, good luck getting any help from Land Rover. ****** I have had my Discovery for 4 months now and have driven it for exactly 4200 miles. I had this car special ordered and had to wait 4 months for it to be delivered. This is not a car that I just picked up off the dealer's lot. I tried to leave a similar post on Land Rover's own website, however they blocked my review twice. So here I'm. The support from Land Rover or the dealership is non existent. They love you up the point that you are purchasing the car. As soon as you pay for it, good luck getting any kind of support from them. The car now has been sitting at the dealership for the past 10 days, due to TouchPro (infotainment center) issues. Nothing works. From slow boot ups (up to two minutes), to entire system locking up, to USB ports not connecting or rejection an iPhone after 30 seconds. Bluetooth music streaming has poor quality and has connectivity issues. Cameras continue to lock up and not available. The front parking sensors work only when you put on reverse, otherwise they don't work (unless you manually activate them for 2 or 3 mins). Navigation locks up. You cannot receive your listen to your text messages on infotainment system. The Bluetooth cannot support it. I can write a whole book about it. On the 7th day of the ownership a screw fell of the driver's side door. This is the screw that holds the door latch in place. It turned out that the other 3 doors had the same issue. The AEB (autonomous emergency breaking) does not work. I ended up setting up a soft dummy (that did not damage the car) and drove over it at about 10 miles per hour (the system should be active a 3 miles per hour an up). The system never kicked in. The dealer is telling me to continue driving and are telling me that they don't have a way to physically test the system. The only way to remotely start the car is to use the Land Rover app. Good luck getting the app to work. 9 out of 10 tries to get an error message about network congestion or poor cell coverage. The steering is very lose. You need a constantly correct the path even on straight high way stretches. Overall very disappointing ownership experience and would definitely consider off loading the car once it is financially feasible.

Had my Disco ordered before they went on sale in the US, it came in a week after they were released here. HSE Si 6 in Frienze Red Metallic with the blackout package. The ride, comfort, handling and performance is excellent. Love it. I have had no problems with it. I have had it for almost two years now and the Dealer just upgraded the infotainment system like the new Velar to include Apple Car Play and Android something. It stills rides like new and what it can do off road is unreal. If you are looking for a great riding, great looking large SUV, there is nothing better. 11/22/19 I've had it for 2 1/2 years now and it has not been in the dealer for any warranty work. Its now the end of May 2020. Runs great, no warranty work at all. 45,000 and all I did was change oil, filters, brakes and tires. I use it to tow my 28' camper and have no problems. Still looks, runs and rides like new, I love it. Nov. 2020, 51,000 miles. Someone finally made AT tires for my SUV instead of the Goodyear's that came on it. TOYO Open Country AT3. Disco still runs great, looks great and no major service problems. 5/30/21 - 64,000 miles. Still no problems, no repairs and still runs and looks great. Just turned 70,000, (6/1/22) still no problems and no dealer visits for repairs. Still looks great, runs great and rides like new. Turned 79,000, December 1,2022. No dealer visits for repairs. Runs like new, Great ride, excellent performance. This by far is the best vehicle I have ever owned and I have owned all three of the big three. You have to drive it for a month to appreciate it, then you will not want anything else. It's now 5/31/23. Had my first service repair, a new water pump and super charger gasket, 84,414 miles. Still runs great and looks great. With the transmission and horsepower combination the Disco is a joy to drive and throw in the air suspension with the ability to raise and lower the car, and you have the perfect combination. December 1, 2023, Still looks and runs great, no service problems, no problems of any kind. 91,000 miles now and still a joy to drive. Looking forward to winter to having fun in the snow. The Disco was 6 years old in June and I plan on keeping it for a long time. It's June 1st, 2024. Everything I said above still holds true, got almost 95,000 on it now. It still looks and drives like new, and the best part (I got the pink slip daddy - thanks Beach Boys). Its now December 3, 2024, I've got 105,000 on it now, don't drive as much as I did. Had new plugs installed and had the engine decarboned. Runs great, getting 18 miles per gallon avg. Looks and runs great. Still looks new. Love it. It's now June 2025, 110,000 thousand miles on it now had a factory recall for a back door latch and a computer upgrade. Still looks and runs great.

Initial quality was terrible.. just terrible. Do not believe dealer did anything to prep or check vehicle before handing if off to us. List of issues so far, after 200 miles: 1. Found unexplained loose clamp in engine bay 2. Wire hanging loose below undercarriage. 3. Rear cargo battery compartment cover totally broken. Nothing holding it closed. Major safety issue in my opinion. 4. Check engine light coming on for no reason. 5. DEF fluid low warning, should have been full. 6. Air conditioner only works on passenger side. 6. Infotainment system / Navigation was totally totally useless on first trip. Since cleared up but don't trust it. 7. Car shuts off when shifted to Park whether you want it to or not. 8. Impossible to check DEF, Engine Oil, or brake fluid levels in engine bay. 9. Panels in rear cargo area are very cheaply made. The Land Rover Discovery is currently at the dealer being worked on. Just very disappointed in the car. Will not buy Land Rover again.

Love the car, everything works great, Im getting 22 mpg combine and 28 MPG on the freeway.After 4,500 miles there is no problem with the car, car drives like new and everything works great. Only complain I will have is the trunk space behind the 3rd row. Engine in very powerful and you can feel the power during acceleration. Overall Im very happy with this purchase and my kids love the 3rd row. Car feels very luxurious inside and navigation and all the technology works well. I testdrove Audi Q7 and it felt like a minivan, very low driving position and very small 3rd row. I testdrove Volvo xc90 and I loved the car but the small 2.0 engine concern me so in the end I choose the Discovery and I feel I make the right decision.

My problem with land rover started from the beginning. This is my first land rover discovery and I loved the look and ride. However, poor knowledge of salesman, poor service department support and poor management of the local dealership as well as corporate office is the worst I have experienced in luxury brands. As much as the car cost, you expect the best customer service from luxury brands which I have experienced with other luxury brands. However, Land Rover’s very slow responses from locan and corporate headquarters to their inability to address the problem quickly is making me very frustrated. It has been four months since I bought the car and I still have not able to use the activity key. They are still telling me it is a software issue that has to be addressed from the corporate. My problem is that why did you sell the car and made it sounds like that you only have to set it up to work. Back and forth between the dealership and the lack of knowledge of what is going on is absurd with the company of this size. I am still waiting and no apologies and they are just asking me to wait. What about the unreliability of their phone app. You will be lucky to have their app working once in may be 50 attempts. You constantly gets poor connectivity alert to just not working app. They still have not addressed the issue. I believe this is a false advertisement in their part that they are selling cars that they are advertising as if the activity key of land rover is working but in reality it is not. How long does it take to fix this kind of an issue? How about their service department? It might have been my local dealership but the difficulty of getting in touch with the service managers to lack of reponse from the general manger when you contact them just amazes me. this will be my last Land Rover. I wanted to experience Land Rover and I do like their car but bad customer service is big part of purchasing a car for me, and it is not worthy it in the future. December 2018. I had this car for about a year now and had more issues then any other cars. Beginning of December, this car had leak from the front windshield that soaked the top of the interior and water through the inside of the car. When I took the car in, they knew the problem saying that landrover had problem with the front windshield and problem with the sealing. I was stunned because I didn't receive any notice from dealership or company. They kept the car because I cannot drive that car with leaking and soaked interior. It is not January 16th 2019, car is still at the dealership and dealership continue to have problem getting the windshield from landrover. They cannot even locate the windshield. I have the loaner but missing my car that has my XM radio and data is getting old. I just cannot believe they cannot even locate the windshield and also have no idea when it will be done. No phone call from the manager to apologize or explain the situation. Never getting landrover again. They don't have organization, service and reliability that is required for the supposedly luxury SUVs. I finally got rid of the discovery. Trade in value was worst that I ever had with any other car. I knew it was bad but no dealers wants to give any money for this car. Excuses....hard to find the comparable value, there are not many cars to compare, nobody wants used landrover right now... I thought the one of the selling point of landrover was that there are not that many. At the end, I was completely dis-satisfied with the landrover quality of the car but also the service of the company and dealership. I am not getting landrover in the future. I changed my car to BMW X7. Love the car. Love the dealership and service.

Purchased the 2017 Discovery with high hopes. Within a month the air conditioner stopped working. It was in service for over 40 days of the 6 months I’ve owned it. They replaced the AC, did everything they could yet it would not blow cold air. When temps are above 100 degrees with a baby in the back seat, it gets very concerning. Land Rover has emailed me they are purchasing the car back after I opened up a formal case and it taking 30 days of review, but are now taking their sweet time getting back to me with details on the repurchase (it’s been 2 weeks). Car looks great, but us surpringly small inside, has a rough ride, and has the unfixable issue with AC. Dealership was very nice to deal with.

Honestly, the Disco gets a bad rap sometimes because it is a Land Rover. The brand has had its issues over the decades, but this 5th generation seems to have it all figured out. Great family vehicle, impossibly amazing off road qualities that most people can’t even fathom how to use fully, and a high end interior that makes it feel luxurious. The sub luxury brands are all catching up (Toyota highlander, Hyundai Pallisade, Kia Telluride) but they are all trying to become what the Discovery IS. While the price can have some sticker shock and service costs can be high, that’s expected for a car in this segment (compare to BMW, Audi, Mercedes and it is quite reasonable) All in, it’s a reliable vehicle, does all the family stuff you need and is heads above the vehicles desperately trying to say “me too”! The HSE Luxury is my personal favorite, as everything other trim level just seems to be missing out on all the cool stuff you can actually pack in to this vehicle. Negative comments about the infotainment system are vastly over rated. I drove the Jaguar F-Type that comes equipped with the exact same system and found it easy to use and quite pretty from an aesthetic point of view. For those that don’t like the onboard system, it has Apple car play and android auto, although that somehow cheapens the experience in my eyes. I own the HSE Luxury TD6, and while the engine is a little more sluggish than the F Type cousin, it has kore than enough passing power and acceleration for a 7 seater SUV that does it all. Knowing that you “have to” drive it hard once in a while to burn out the engine is a nice perk - eliminating the guilt associated with having fun with a beautifully designed vehicle. You can fit full size adults comfortable in all 3 rows, and while the LR4 and pre ious owners miss the split tail gate the back “bench” thingy is just another cool thing for LR to throw in just in the name of staying true To it’s brand. It drives well for it’s size, but not like a sports car. If you want sport performance, go somewhere else. Asking this vehicle to handle tightly in corners is preposterous, as it does so much else! It is a smooth, comfortable ride, with a feeling that the vehicle wants to go off-road at the next opportunity! This is a vehicle that knows what it is, and gets a 5 star rating is doing exactly what it’s designed to. Love it. UPDATE: We’ve owned our Disco for 3 years now, and it’s the best vehicle we’ve ever owned. Looking at comparabale pricing and mid size SUV’s , we were open to everything out there including the Highlander, Palisade, And Telluride. At a decent trim level they were all 60k to 70k plus, and we found a 2 yr old disco for 50k. Something felt suspicious, and I was skeptical, but the more I researched the more I liked it. It’s off road performance is outstanding (just watch the videos on this thing) but the around town carrying kids to soccer practices type driving is superb. It’s not the fastest vehicle out there - and if you want a sport car in an SUV this isn’t the vehicle for you. It IS however, a sub luxury SUV that looks aggressive just sitting there in the parking lot, is unique enough to be recognizable, and has so many creature comforts to keep everyone in the vehicle happy (all 7 seats have bum warmers - an absolute perk in colder climates!). We can fit full size adults in all 7 seats (I’m 6’4 and fit in every seat) and while climbing into the back row does require a bit of agility, the space inside is remarkable for a mid size SUV.

Previously I had owned 2010, 2012, 2013, I still have these vehicles. Waited 4 months for the 2017 Discovery. To tell you the truth I hate driving it....the stirring is very loose... can't be fixed....Also filling the gas was so frustrating. It would continually shut off the gas. It would shut off several times...took forever to fill the tank. Took almost a week to be fixed

This is our first (and definitely last) Land Rover. We purchased this for our large family of 6 after previously driving the Mercedes GL350 and Infiniti QX60. The Discovery doesn't compare with either vehicle - especially in terms of reliability. In the first two months of ownership, the car was at the dealership's service department for 40 days with a laundry list of problems: car was jerking during acceleration, infotainment screen freezes, air conditioning comes out hot, constant error messages on dash, DEF depleted quickly, etc. Land Rover America has been difficult to deal with - customer service is not worthy of the luxury price of this car. Never buying a Land Rover again.

This is my third Land Rover purchase. I traded in my LR3 and kept my LR4 and added this Discovery LUX. Since I wanted all the newest features I went for the LUX model and I am not disappointed. The new technology is excellent. The safety and parking features are a huge plus. The dealership pulled out all the stops when we got it home and found the pump for the windshield washer jets was not working. They drove us a loaner, picked this one up and drove it back to the dealership and fixed it, then brought it back the same day. My only complaint is the activity key. It is not working so the dealer has ordered us a new one and we will try that. I have to admit that having the back hatch open and close by waving my foot under it is a huge plus when my hands are full. And being able to see the car and all it's surroundings on my screen while manuvering the vehicle is a plus. But the best by far is the smart cruise control. No more braking and restarting the cruise when I come up on a vehicle but can't pass yet. The car slows down until I am far enough away and then it speeds right back up. The changeable ambient lighting in the car is fun too!

We have had our Disco for 3 months now and never for a moment have we regretted the purchase. Before ordering the Disco we drove MANY other luxury models and were leasing a Benz. Nothing compared to the comfort and capabilities of the Disco. We were trading in our pick-up that was used to tow our 22' sailboat, and the Disco has taken on that duty with panache---never a groan or complaint. The dealership and sales rep were very accommodating and a pleasure to work with. I am certain that we will be repeat customers of Land Rover. The quality and craftsmanship are unsurpassed. UPDATE: After 15 months of ownership, my original evaluation stands. Our Disco continues to serve our needs admirably and still looks brand new. We continue to get many comments about the vehicle and gladly refer folks to the dealership in San Antonio, TX. UPDATE #2: We have now owned our Disco for 4 years and the initial evaluation still stands. We have had nothing but routine maintenance for the entire tire time--aside from a couple cactus flats from moving our boat. During our last trip to the dealership, our sales rep took us for a ride in a Defender. My husband's eyes lit up and I have a feeling this may be our next vehicle when it's time to trade in our current one. I am certain we will not consider anything but a Land Rover product. We remain impressed with the quality--it is unsurpassed.

Landrover Discovery 5 Meltdown

I purchased a 2017 Discovery Diesel in November 2017. I've had it at the dealership for multiple reasons since owning it. I also had the leaking windshield and it took months for them to get another windshield. After that was replaced I sill had condensation forming in the vehicle. The dealership took it back, removed the carpeting and "let it dry out". Now I have what appears to be a place that has melted on the rear spoiler just to the left of the LED light in the spoiler. The dealership said I or someone / something must have done it. I've shown it to a dozen folks and no one can figure it out. I don't know exactly when it happened as I don't always notice that spoiler. All I know is it happened between Jan 18th - march 03 2019. I wish I could figure out how it happen / what happened. Spoiler is said to be $1500 and then it has to be painted.

So initially the infotainment was horrible but the latest update made it at least average. The car rides great. It handles snow with no problem. Recently during a big rain it started leaking down the front center light area. I have never had a new car leak from a rain. Very disappointing Update after 1.5 yrs. overall love the Disco. Some first model year quality issues - Infotainment much better but several times a year you have to go to the dealer for an update. Windshield leaked during a rainstorm but the dealer quickly fixed it. This is the best vehicle I have owned. Even with the issues Live It!

The car looks and drives like a dream. The great majority of my cars were German, this particular car drives better than what I had but the reliability is questionable. The car had being in the shop now 3 times with only 16K miles. Biggest issue had being with the Turbo Management system, it had gone to Restrictive Drive 4 times and check engine light is now in the dashboard. Disappointing experience after I had spend $60K in an SUV. My expectation for the brand was much higher than what they are delivering. I'm hopping that I can get the issues resolved as I love the how the car drives.

I felt like I needed to add this after seeing the two negative reviews for people with poor experiences. I have owned this car for five years, and absolutely love it. The only issue I ever had was when the battery died and I could not figure out why I had continuous problems. I realized it was because I left the center console cooler (refrigerator) on. Other than that, I have literally had zero issues. I love the app to start my car and warm it up from a distance on a cold day, or cool it down before I load the kids in after being out all day. Great mileage, dependable, comfortable, great turning radius, looks great, and fantastic mileage 23 mpg daily and averages 26 mpg on road trips. LOVE

This was my dream car. I didn’t want anything else. I bought it. Was happy for a couple months. Then it started to leak through the windshield just like everybody else said. They replaced it within a week. 6 months later it’s leaking everywhere else now. The carpet is soaked everywhere and it smells. You can hear the water inside the panels of the car swooshing around every time I brake or accelerate. The dealer WARREN HENRY in Miami is TERRIBLE. They have a 6 week wait for service. I’m going to sell my car next year before the warranty is up. I probably won’t buy a Land Rover again. And I’ll never buy from Warren Henry.

Leased brand new 2017 Land Rover Discovery HSE TD6 AWD. Family of 6 so we need to have the third row and this vehicle promised to combine comfort, reliability, and luxury. None of those things were true. The vehicle was delivered to us with the interior drivers door panel detached and hanging from wires. Windows would not open and radio/information panel acting weird. Problems were repaired only to have water coming from upper center console leaking into cabin two weeks later. 10 days to repair. Few weeks later car starts to surge and vibrate loudly when we travelled more than 65miles/hr. Another few weeks of repair. Over the past 26 months of ownership problems have ranged from the annoying to the absurd: -leaky windshield/sunroof (3 times repaired and still leaking) -electrical glitches with entertainment console -hood cable snapped twice - one time the vehicle would not start because I had to add DEF fluid but couldn't open the hood to add it! -car found dead and unresponsive on driveway needing to be hauled away by dealership on a flat bed because they couldn't even open the doors (never was given a reason as to what caused this other than they've never seen this before) -defrost fan screaming when turned to max (blower fan changed out twice) -vehicle groans after 65 miles/hr and the noise is so loud the driver and front passenger need to raise their voices to speak to each other (problem still exists even though we've taken car in 6 times for repair - service says they have no idea) -windshield wipers messed up -whistling noise in cabin when on highway - service can't find air leak -condensation inside cabin every day making everything moist and sticky Save yourself the hassle and aggravation. Most frustrating, annoying vehicle experience I've ever came across. Dealership was zero help and never proposed any solutions or resolve. I've spoken to the general ,manager, service manager, sales team and they all shrug tell me ride out my lease. I personally contacted Land Rover and expressed my distress on this and they spent 2 months "researching" this only to come back with the obvious that the vehicle is a dud. They agreed to purchase the vehicle from me (now only 11 months to go on the lease and most of the negative equity has been paid for by yours truly) BUT ONLY if I purchase a new vehicle from them. So I guess they figure they can treat their customers like crap and then try to force them to get stuck with another one of their crummy vehicles and do it all with a smile on their face and make it seem like they are doing you the favor. Screw Land Rover. [HTML removed]
Non-Stop Infotainment Issues

Purchased brand new 2017 Discovery Lux TD6. Non-stop infotainment issues which included: dash would be completely blanked out; GPS said we were driving in the Atlantic ocean; rear camera would stay on when car was off; infotainment screen would freeze. Took to dealer and they had the car for over 2 weeks at one point - they even had to do a video conference with UK engineers who rebuilt the entire computer. Had non-stop significant vibration in rear tires and the alignment seemed to shred the tires. Inquired with the dealer about lemon law and he basically told me to go buy a new car on the lot and they'd give me wholesale on a trade. Overall - huge disappointment because the design of the car was awesome. We traded this in for an Infiniti QX80 and have had zero problems.
Not comparable to a Land Rover LR4

I bought this 2017 Disco TD6 new in ‘17. I’ve had virtually every brand and type of SUV imaginable over the past 40 years… GM, FORD, BMW, Audi and others… both diesel and Gasoline. This LR Disco TD6 has been a huge blessing. I have now had it 7 years with 118,000 miles and had ZERO issues. It rides like a magic carpet, gets GREAT gas mileage (23-29 highway). It has never failed to delivery. It is very capable off-road. It take it skiing annually and it does great in snow. The first year I had it I took it up Muddy Ridge out side Casper Wyoming. Ascended a 500’ mountain on steep rocky incline on a narrow 2 track trail. It performed flawlessly in rock crawler mode and never dragged bottom once with the suspension lifted. We take it on long road trips and easily range 500 miles per tank. It’s super comfy and I’ve never owned an SUV this comfortable, this reliable and capable. I simply can not say enough good about it.

I’ve owned my 2917 LR Discovery TD6 since it was new and have only now had issues, conduits 8 years old based on manufacture date that supports it’s a very reliable vehicle. I get 27 mpg on average driving mainly city miles. It’s super comfortable and I wouldn’t trade it for another SUV
