Engine seized (failed) just under 90k miles. I bought this car used in 2021 with only 7k miles on the vehicle and I've had it serviced as recommended by the manufacturer. The engine failed without warning and left me owing $23k on a useless vehicle. The manufacturers warranty was expired, so I'm left holding the bag and paying for a useless vehicle to remain in my garage until the loan is paid off in another 3-years.
The car basically shut down while running. It started to shake and than just powered down, twice. According to the dealership there is an issue with the "purge system" they old me the vehicle was released to early . There is an issue with the software and management system. The car is unsafe to drive . When the car powered down I was at a red light inching forward, the car started to shake and the red battery light came on. I turned everything off and was able to move forward but only slightly and the car powered down again ( I also caused a small accident behind me) the car always felt like it was working hard to accelerate and felt like it was "sticking" . In speaking with the service team at range rover the velar in general has had issues and the service department cant keep up.
The land rover velar was purchase on january 25, 2020 from stevens creek Jaguar land over of san jose, ca. When it reached 1600 miles, I found that the vehicle had the oil leakage phenomenon. There is a lot of oil at the bottom of the vehicle. I suspected that there was a leakage problem when the vehicle was purchased. I contacted the dealer repair service on march 18, 2020 and send the vehicle back. On april 1, 2020, I was notified that the repair was completed. They test drove it for 40 miles. On april 3, the vehicle was at 1,745 miles. I laid down underneath to examine the bottom of my vehicle again to examine. The oil was still leaking even more serious than before the previous repair. On april 21, 2020, the repair was completed. On april 23, there was still oil at the bottom of the v

Summary: Remote start causes repeated, predictable failure of critical safety systems including traction control, hill descent control, and automatic emergency braking. Description of Problem: When the vehicle is started using the factory app for phones, the lower infotainment screen (the climate/drive assist panel) frequently fails to initialize properly. As a result, the icons and functions for Traction Control, Hill Descent Control do not illuminate or activate. The vehicle then displays warnings such as “Hill Descent Control Not Available” and “Automatic Braking Not Available.” This failure occurs approximately 99% of the time when using remote start. If I begin driving with the vehicle in this state, all of these systems remain deactivated. These features are essential for safe drivin
I immediately had problems with electrical. Warning systems intermittently not functioning properly, screen randomly changing during driving and defaulting to settings that require me to pull over, stop car and restart as in rebooting a computer. Lane keep assist intermittent. Brights intermittent. Car powers down entirely about 50% of time when I out it in park...even without taking seatbelt off. Map will suddenly switch to entry screen asking me to sign in when I already have and lists addresses I've never been to. This happens while driving. All happens while driving, parking or turning except of course the powering down in park. Btw, I don't mean idling down which it is supposed to do, it shuts off. Dealer has refused to do anything. It has been in shop 4 times and they say they cannot
I am writing to bring to your attention a series of critical malfunctions I have experienced with the InControl Touch Pro infotainment system in my 2020 Range Rover Velar. The persistent issues outlined below pose a significant safety risk and warrant immediate action through a comprehensive vehicle recall. USB Connectivity Static: When utilizing the USB connection, the audio output is excessively staticky, compromising the overall driving experience and distracting while driving. Navigation Screen Freezing and Blackout: The navigation screen frequently freezes and blacks out during operation, particularly while driving. This not only hampers the navigational capabilities of the vehicle but also raises serious safety concerns as it interrupts the focus on the road. Real-time Display Fai

seatbelts 1 complaint shown
My child was tangled in the rear seat belt while the car was parked. Every time we tried to get some extra slack in the seat belt it would continue to get tighter and squeeze her around her waist. The seat belt would not release even after turning the car off the belt continued to stay locked and any slack would be pulled into the chamber to put her in tighter pain. The only way to free her from the car was to cut the seat belt this is clearly a defect in the safety portion of the car.

At approximately 39,000 miles, my 2020 Land Rover Range Rover Velar developed a coolant leak from the front lower crossover in the engine valley. A repair facility confirmed the issue and recommended replacement of the front upper and lower crossovers, water pump, and hoses. The repair estimate is $2,727. This problem is a known defect in other Jaguar Land Rover vehicles (crossover/elbow coolant leaks) that were subject to recalls and lawsuits, but my VIN is not currently included. The defect creates a serious safety risk: coolant leaks can cause sudden engine overheating, loss of power, or engine failure while driving, putting occupants and other drivers at risk. The issue has been diagnosed and confirmed by a service center. Prior to the diagnosis, I observed low coolant levels and wa

I'm writing to report a serious safety issue with my 2020 Range Rover Velar's power tailgate. While I was inside the cargo area, the tailgate began closing on its own/unexpectedly. On a separate occasion, it closed on my [XXX] son while he was in the cargo area-I had to push him out of the way to prevent him from being crushed. Shortly after these incidents, the tailgate/latch actuator stopped functioning entirely. I took the vehicle to the dealer who quoted approximately $1300 to replace the latch assembly. Given that this malfunction has put my child at risk of serious injury, I'd like to ask: 1. Is there an open Technical Service Bulletin (TSB) for tailgate latch/actuator issues on the 2020 Velar? 2. Would Land Rover consider a goodwill or policy adjustment to cover or offset this r
