Common Land Rover Lemon Issues

​

Owners of Range Rover, Discovery, and Evoque models often report:

• Electrical system failures

  • Faulty wiring, dashboard warning lights, and battery drain.

  • Malfunctions in door locks, windows, and keyless entry systems.

• Transmission defects

  • Jerking, hesitation, or complete gearbox failure.

  • Common in Range Rover Evoque and Discovery Sport.

• Suspension problems

  • Air suspension leaks, compressor failures, or uneven ride height.

  • Range Rover and Range Rover Sport are frequently affected.

• Engine malfunctions

  • Excessive oil consumption, overheating, or stalling.

  • Diesel models often experience turbocharger issues.

• Infotainment and software glitches

  • Touchscreen freezing, navigation errors, and Bluetooth malfunctions.

  • Reported across newer Land Rover models with advanced tech packages.

• Air conditioning failures

  • Weak cooling or complete AC breakdown, especially in Discovery and Evoque.

 

Why These Qualify as Lemon Issues

• Repetition matters: Lemon law applies when the same defect persists after multiple repair attempts.

• Safety concerns: Transmission failures, suspension defects, and engine stalls are considered high-risk.

• Warranty coverage: Issues occurring under warranty and remaining unresolved strengthen lemon law claims.
