Water leaking from roof, thought it was from the surround sunroof. Could hear air coming from roof. On December 30, 2024, after three weeks of heavy rain, found cup holders filled with water. Car started up, but the round button would not lift up from console next to cup holders. Could not put the car in drive, reverse, or neutral. Had to call for tow truck and take to dealership. Was told that the water damage was not from the sunroof, but in fact, from the front windshield coming detached from the glue. This was a great concern for me, because of the safety issue of not knowing that there was a problem with the 2018 models having this issue. We had done our research in looking up any issues with this car before we bought it. We did not find anything describing this issue. The windshield could have come unattached while driving down the highway at 60-70 mph.

Vehicle is leaking water from A pillars and it is damaging the vehicles electrical systems. Humidity build up and mildew from the entry of water after a down pour caused mold to build up throughout the entire floor board. Dealer ship needs to address these issues and have a complementary inspection/service to resolve this matter. This can lead to electrical problems and airbag inoperative issues. To conclude this can total the owners vehicle since the fuses sit by the A pillar. Water entry will also cause corrosion to vehicle cause damage and jeopardizing the integrity of the vehicle structure.

Leaking front windshield at the center and right. Known issue with this car and series, but somehow this specific VIN is not in the group for the recall. This occurred exactly like the others and it should be covered. I had to argue with Aristocrat Motors in Miriam and they decided (for now, hasn't been completed) to cover it. This should be covered for the other VINS that aren't included in the recall.

WE OWN A LAND ROVER DISCOVERY 2018. WHEN DRIVING THE 2018 LAND ROVER DISCOVERY THERE IS A SIGNIFICANT LAG IN THE THROTTLE SPOT ON THE TIME YOU PUSH THE GAS PEDAL TO THE TIME THE CAR RECOGNIZES THAT INPUT AND BEGINS TO MOVE. SOMETIMES THE LAG IS UP TO TWO SECONDS. THIS HAS ALMOST CAUSED A COUPLE OF ACCIDENTS AS YOU PUSH ON THE GAS EXPECTING THE CAR TO MOVE AND IT DOESN'T MOVE AND THEN SURGES UNEXPECTEDLY AFTER THE LONG LAG. THIS HAS BEEN REPORTED TO LAND ROVER FOR SOMETIME, SINCE BEFORE LAST SUMMER 2018 YET THEY DONE NOTHING TO FIX IT YET. THE LAND ROVER DEALERSHIP SAYS TO CONTACT LAND ROVER CORPORATE. LAND ROVER CORPORATE SAYS TO CONTACT THE DEALERSHIP. NO ONE HAS ANY IDEA WHEN IT WILL BE FIXED AND THE DEALERSHIP ACKNOWLEDGES THAT LAND ROVER CORPORATE HAS KNOWN ABOUT IT FOR QUITE SOME TIME. THEY ALSO STATED IT IS A PROBLEM IN THE LAND ROVER MODEL, THE RANGE ROVER, AS WELL. COULD SOMEONE AT NHSTA PLEASE OPEN AN INQUIRY BEFORE ANYONE GETS SERIOUSLY HURT OR WORSE AS LAND ROVER DOESN'T SEEM TO BE IN A HURRY TO RESOLVE IT. SOME ONE IS GOING TO GET HURT OR WORSE, IF THEY HAVEN'T ALREADY.
