2019 Land Rover Range Rover Velar Complaints

SUV Rear hatch has a mind of its own and will come down unexpectedly on you when your reaching into the back. This is the kick your foot under the bumper to get it to open feature. I have never been able to get this feature to work when I want it to. However I'm pretty good at getting the hatch to open when I am just washing the car/bumper.

The dealership in Maryland told me the only fix is to replace the entire headlight unit, which costs over $6,000. That’s an extremely high cost for a safety-related problem. I’ve seen many similar complaints online from other owners of 2018–2022 Velar and other Range Rover models, all experiencing the same DRL failure. This seems to be a common issue. When the DRL doesn't work, it makes the vehicle less visible and more dangerous to drive during the day. Given the high cost, the safety risk, and how often this seems to happen, I believe this issue needs to be investigated and possibly recalled. I'm very disappointed that such a costly r...
