I have received many faults since owning this car (purchased: 10/19/2019); child safety-restraint fault, gear-box failure, turn signal in-operable intermittently Occurred approx. 11/2/2019 - The failure in turn signals intermittently almost resulted in a collision with someone speeding down the turning lane as I was merging over, the other drivers speed required him to travel into oncoming lanes to safely get around me without collision. Taken to Land Rover servicing center and in their possession from approx. 11/2/19 - 2/3/2020 - after having the car back for 9 days started to receiving the same fault messages, was taken back to Land Rover and in their possession from 2/13/2020 - 4/21/2020 Occurred approx. 6/1 - car completely lost acceleration on the freeway with a "gear box" fault message and was unable to accelerate in the middle of construction with reduced/split lanes with very few safe pull out areas for emergencies leading to impeding traffic due to no acceleration, using the quickly decelerating speed I had to get to an area I could pull far enough off of the freeway. After pulling off the side of the road and restarting the car in attempt to get to a exit ramp or safer location, I was presented with the same fault message and the car would not accelerate. Car had to be towed from location to Land Rover servicing center on 6/1/2021 - current. Vehicle has been inspected by Land Rover service department for extensive periods of time on several occasions, each time I am told they are unable to replicate the issue to find the problem therefore are unable to resolve the electrical faults that are risking my safety and other drivers. Each time the car is returned to me, similar electrical faults have appeared with no resolution. No insurance/police reports as physical damage/accidents. Can provide documentation of incidents and prior logs at a later time/upon request. Do not currently have access to a scanner. Car is available upon request for inspection
