My 16 year old son was driving the 2016 lr4 that we purchased "pre-certified" less than 3 weeks ago from field's lr in northbrook illinois. Going 68 on the highway, the wheel started to lock up, the gas peddle failed, and smoke started coming through the vents. He was able to keep a cool head for a new driver and get to side of road by sheer luck that the road veered to the left.
Body electrical: hatch failed to stay open and struck my head causing a concussion on 06/15/2017. According to land rover annapolis maryland, there is no recall for this issue. Issue documented as follows by land rover annapolis, md: rear hatch struts weak, repair: replace both rear hatch struts and check alignment of hinges and striker.
