2020 Land Rover Range Rover problems

“I own a 2020 Land Rover, VIN [XXX], which is affected by NHTSA Safety Recall 26V-248 / Jaguar Land Rover Recall D126. I brought the vehicle to an authorized Land Rover dealership after the check-engine light illuminated. While the vehicle was at the dealership, I requested that the open D126 safety recall also be performed. The dealer informed me that they could not perform the recall software update because my 12-volt battery is “almost failing” and told me that I would first have to pay out of pocket to replace the battery. I am concerned about this because Recall 26V-248 specifically involves the vehicle’s DC-DC converter and insufficient electrical load balancing. According to the recall, a failure of the DC-DC converter can result in loss of 12-volt system charging and can ultimately cause loss of motive power and exterior lighting I did not bring the vehicle to the dealership because of a dead battery or because the vehicle would not start. I drove the vehicle to the dealership because the check-engine light had illuminated. The dealer is effectively requiring me to purchase a 12-volt battery before they will perform the open safety-recall remedy. I have…”

“My vehicle is affected by Safety Recall D126 / 26V-248. The vehicle has already experienced the recall failure: loss of charging, stalling while driving, and now it will not crank at all. The dealership is refusing towing, refusing to document the safety failure, and refusing Transportation. Corporate has also refused assistance. I am left without a vehicle and unable to work. This is an unsafe condition and a violation of federal recall obligations.”

“In march 2036 my car just completely stopped in 5pm traffic and I was almost hit over a dozen times car wouldn’t albe to be moved because it completed died out. When I took it to JLR had to have it towed twice . They said it was the battery and that it needed to be calibrated, sent me home and same day car stalled again in a busy traffic, this time they said it was my alternator and that my own system was shorted out, and they had to replace the alternator. Wants to charge me $4k , then I get a call saying it’s the DC Dc Converter and it’s shorted out my electric system and alternator! Don’t know I’what to believe ! Before my car died it first said charging. Battery low and died out while I was getting Dutch bros but started up right away, two days later I got the warning lights all flashing and then died completely”

“Lane control is non functional, even though no DTC's or error codes show up on the dashboard of the vehicle. Side cameras and side-traffic sensors appear to be non functional too.”

“My 2020 Range Rover Evoque with VIN [XXX] has an identical failure described in Land Rover Service Action N221/N221NAS18.09.004. Water has entered from the top edge of windshield seal during rain. Though this defect took place in earlier models 2015-2018, the defect continued in 2020 model year ( L551). My front footwells and carpet are soaked, my infotainment system in the car went blank and upon investigation at the dealership, they've found water in the body of the car and white mold under the carpet and as a result the need to replace a lot of electrical modules etc. My car has a factory windshield, no replacement. When I went to retrieve my car from the dealer, they gave me back with a hairline crack in the windshield which the service advisor admitted that wasn't there when the car was dropped off and possibly happened during testing. Im requesting coverage for N221 to include 2020 year model. Link to technician video of his findings. [XXX] Please note : I had no idea this is how water was getting into my car. I thought my windows were left down during rain. The dealer made me aware of the defect but had no interest in doing a Goodwill repair because I'm…”
