Used 2018 Land Rover Discovery Consumer Reviews
They need a zero star review for this vehicle
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]

Nightmare! 1-Star is too much
Quite possibly the worst purchase I’ve ever made! Stay away!! The list of issues is extensive and only got worse after the warranty expired. Two windshield replacement due to water leaks, console cooler stopped working at 50k miles and it was barely used. Oil leaks. Hood cable replaced twice before 60k miles, so many software updates to fix glitches that varied from screens just randomly going black, slow touchscreen response, freezing infotainment…more oil leaks. Sunroof motor replaced before 60kmiles, DEF errors galore!! This HSE Lux TD6 just eats through tires. But maybe Continental tires just suck. Seat belt assembly issues. More oil leaks. Its just an awful car! There’s a reason LR has two protective plates underneath. They don’t want you to see all the plastic connected to metal components. First and Last LR! Way too many issues for a 5yr old car.

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.
