2020 Land Rover Discovery Complaints

The contact owns a 2020 Land Rover Discovery. The contact stated while driving approximately 30 MPH, the front passenger’s side seat belt locked, trapping the passenger in the seat. The contact stated that to unlock the seat belt the passenger had to manipulate the buckle to unlatch the buckle; then insert the seat belt several times before the seat belt operated as designed. The contact stated no warning light was illuminated. The contact had taken the vehicle to a local dealer who diagnosed that the seat belt needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The contact stated that the failure recurred after the repair. The vehicle was returned to the same dealer and the seat belt was replaced three times. The manufacturer had been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 3,100.

After the recent rain we had in CT and the Northeast we got in the car and water was dripping out of screw holes in the lighting and from the headliner just below the area where the windshield meets the body of the vehicle. The water was dripping into the drive selector and other electronics and the headliner was saturated with water. After calling multiple Land Rover dealers I was informed that failure of the seals on the Windshield on the Land Rover Discovery and some other models is a "known issue". The company has recalled a few of these models but not nearly enough. The vehicle now has to be assessed for water damage, cleaning, mold an the wind shield has to be replaced as well as any other compromised components. To top it all off, Land Rover has no loaner vehicles and won't pay for rental cars for affected owners, despite their long knowledge of this issue and failure to do anything to rectify it. Further, they are short of parts so their current solution is to dry out the car...
