VISIBILITY/WIPER

Potential Consequences:

The Windshield cracked for no apparent reason. The crack starts from the bottom of the windshield and spreading upwards. I have been reading that this is a common problem with all land rover defenders. I filed an insurance claim to replace the windshield through Safelight which is going to cost me $500 deductible. I do not understand why this problem is not being addressed by Land Rover and why there has not been a major recall for this issue. I'm sure that this is going to happen again after replacement. It is very sad to purchase such an expensive vehicle and the windshield breaks after just a couple weeks of ownership. I know I have to get it replaced because it will only spread and I won't be able to see the road when I'm driving.

ENGINE

Potential Consequences:

The engine cut out whilst going 90kmph on a four lane freeway. I had about 10 seconds to react before it rolled to a complete stop - it wouldn't connect the gas at all. Extremely unsafe situation, other cars beeping their horns in panic as they swerved past me. Lucky to not have caused a serious collision and die today. I ended up in between the third lane and the fourth lane exit. Waited there for 2 mins with cars going past me at full speed. Restarted and was able to take the exit where it continued to stall and eventually the vehicle was towed to the dealership. I've had the vehicle 48 hours at 325km total.

VISIBILITY/WIPER

Potential Consequences:

My windshield crack on its own when it was not even being driven. It appears to be a stress crack as it is a small V at the top center comes down the middle and across the passenger side. Only owned the car a few months and barely driven. I took to the dealer and they said they wouldn't chance covering by warranty out of fear corporate would deny the claim. Spoke with corporate and after a month they finally responded and said they wouldn't cover or have anyone further inspect as they rely on their dealers only and if I was satisfied I should go through arbitration. This appears to be a known issue now and concerning that they wouldn't want to investigate further. My windshield is heated and I wonder if there is a design flaw in the filament put inside the glass? Upsetting to deal with and shocked by lack or responsiveness from Land Rover.

BACK OVER PREVENTION: WARNINGS

Potential Consequences:

Regarding the lane departure feature, there has been a number of occurrences while operating the vehicle during daylight conditions where the system erroneously triggers causing the active steering system to engage and induce swerving. No recalls or service bulletins by the dealer have been posted regarding this issue and no system warning indications have been present. More than likely, misreadings by the vehicle’s sensors during less than ideal optical conditions could be the root cause. Regarding the parking collision system and more specifically, the onboard cameras (front and rear) on the vehicle, the visual output of these is distorted when viewing using the onboard display. Distorted here implies a fisheye lens type or effect which makes it extremely difficult to gauge distance and accuracy of vehicle track when parking or navigating tight spaces. Additionally, the rear parking camera suffers from very poor resolution during night conditions rendering it useless. These concerns were raised via the local dealer after initial purchase of the vehicle, however, no relevant technical service bulletins or recalls were discovered.

STEERING

Potential Consequences:

Several times while waiting at a red light, the engine just died, feels like it's connected to the hybrid engine not functioning properly. service said it had to do with battery and they fixed it. It still happened 2 more times after they serviced. Also now car is not drivable, because the steering wheel does not budge/move. Waiting for service to return my call. Is this something that could happen whilst driving? It is very scary when the brand new car keeps failing unexpectedly.

ENGINE

Potential Consequences:

Several times while waiting at a red light, the engine just died, feels like it's connected to the hybrid engine not functioning properly. service said it had to do with battery and they fixed it. It still happened 2 more times after they serviced. Also now car is not drivable, because the steering wheel does not budge/move. Waiting for service to return my call. Is this something that could happen whilst driving? It is very scary when the brand new car keeps failing unexpectedly.

Corrective Action:

STEERING

Potential Consequences:

Power steering failed upon starting the car after 12 hours of non use. The lane assist light came on saying it was unavailable. Upon first starting it did not move in drive or reverse but was able to after a few restarts but the steering was still failing. I am worried about the steering failing while driving.

POWER TRAIN

Potential Consequences:

I was sitting at a red traffic light, the auto stop/start function activated and engine shut off. when the light turned green I hit the gas and my 2022 Defender stalled. I started the vehicle went to put into gear and it stalled again. I tried to start the Vehicle again and it stalled right away. on my third attempt to start vehicle it finally started. also while driving during the day when i stopped i noticed the auto stop/start indicator would would be white and be in inhibited mode randomly. I had been driving for at about an hour. I had this vehicle for 3 weeks and so far this was the only time it has happened.
