Issues with All New Disco

Having intermittent electronic Issues eg memory seat and steering wheel does not always go back to the memory position. The InTouch Control app continually forgets my password and has to be re-entered every few days. An awful LOUD clunking noise from rear of the car at low speed ..appears to be the auto brake coming on and off even before I have stopped. Service told me that is normal operation..I beg to differ. Something isn't right here

Water leaks

Land Rover has had my vehicle for 3 months to fix this issue. When it rains it’s pouring in the car. We are the first owners and the customer service at the dealership is horrible.

Had the car 3 months. Been in shop twice

Dont waste your money. My Ford Escape Titanium was a better car. Regretting the trade in. The car is cheaply made and comes with all kinds of expensive computer updates. If you.want to drive it for status, just be prepared to be in a rental the majority of the time.

Worst car I've ever owned

The car is constantly at the dealership for repairs and dealership is horrible to work with. I am trying to get this vehicle classified as a Lemon. Here are the issues we've had in the past 12 mos. -Audio just quits working. Hands free is 50/50 if it works. We've had 3 software upgrades now. -Antifreeze leak. Had waterpump replaced at 4000miles -Roof leaks. Took dealership 4 weeks to figure it out -Heat doesn't work. Seriously blows cold air. We have to wear parkas while driving in the winter -AC blows water out the vents. Not just a little condensation, actual water running out of vents. So far, dealership has been unsuccessful and repairing the heater issue and the AC issues. I would trade it in on a Range Rover or something else, but the dealership sucks so bad I don't want another vehicle from them. Waiting to see if the Lemon Law is going to work....

Horrible -bought a lemon

Loved the car for 1 month and then all xxxx broke loose, ac stopped working, car would die, lights flickering, had to get fuse box from UK and they repaired it just yesterday -took one month because part on back order- now car is sitting dead in my driveway after it died on me while driving. Barely coasted to side of road fearing for my life that I was going to get hit from the back. Called dealership and LR cust service. seriously dreading what comes next -I’m so disappointed with the car-75k bought and paid for and it’s worthless piece of crap.

Swanky ride

Like it. Technology is over the top and can be a bit confusing. It can be overwhelming with all the options on the luxury model. Sweet ride

Worst vehicle I have ever owned.

Six warranty repairs done in first 12 months! Issues: back up camera, software, phone connectivity, sunroof and worst of all, "restricted power" warnings 3 time after "repairs" that suddenly slows vehicle down to 30 kms/hr and cannot accelerate. This is a huge safety issue and LR corporate nor LR dealer take responsibility or accountability. Buyer beware!!

Very unreliable

As previous owner of LR Vehicles i was waiting with anticiptionnthe redesigned Disco model. Capabilities? No question, typical LR. But all electronics are working every .. other day. Backup camera works with a delay. Shut off button unreliable. Blind spot unreliable. And worse emergency alert and braking for front end collision totally messed up to the point that they hd a recall and still they have not figured it out. Biggest mistake that they tried to load the car with electronics that were cheap and not properly designed. Bottom line- if you buy it for its offroad capabilities and towing thats amazing and no questions. If you use to commute your family on busy highways do yourself a favor and look elsewhere.

Very stylish.

This car fits all the needs of a busy realtor. Great leg room for clients in the front and back. I chose the LUX. The HSE lacked some features and didn’t have leather in some of the places the LUX has it. Great SUV!
