When I was driving this car, I smelled gasoline very badly, so suddenly the car slammed, and then the car broke down, and there was a lot of white gas or smoke under the hood, I couldn't be sure, so I called The fire alarm was dealt with, then I towed the vehicle to the dealer, contacted my insurance, and the dealer told me there was a recall, but my engine was dead and it wasn't covered by their warranty, but I checked the recall , the reason for the recall may be that the fuel gauge cannot display accurate fuel…

February 2023 Fire

The rubber finish on the dials to adjust the air conditioner temperature are peeling off and have become sticky like glue. This is a known problem and is regularly complained about in land rover forums. This should be a recall as it has affected 80% of all vehicles with these dials. The only way to resolve this issue is to replace the entire controller for the air conditioner which costs over $500. Please see to having this recall made as soon as possible.

The stereo system has had complaints for many years with no recall. The issue is the system cuts out and unusable or completely unresponsive forcing calls to be taken by phone. This can pose a safety risk with drivers troubleshooting while operating the vehicle. A simple google search reveals hundreds of complaints regarding this issue. We have been having this issue for 2.5 years with no resolution. Software updates do not correct the issue.
