Discovery

  • 500 miles
One month after purchasing my Land Rover Discovery I noticed there was a lag time when trying to accelerate when making a turn. I took it to the dealership and they said it should be resolved by updating the system. They updated it but it continued to have the lag issue so I complained again and they said it's the nature of the car. I told them this was very dangerous and they claim they haven't received enough complaints to say it's an issue with car. I also have had other electrical problems such as the navigation screen going blank while driving or not coming on at all and also my remote key fobs do not work all the time. Even with the remotes in my hand near the console the car will say they are not detected. I brought it back to the dealer and they said they were fine. Today, I received a recall from Land Rover stating there are various electrical issues with car where the vehicle could cut out while in motion and may lose all electrical power. I called the dealership to find out they are booked out for 3 weeks so I will have to continue to drive this unsafe car. I think it's very irresponsible of Land Rover to put owners in a position to continue to drive a very unsafe car. These cars should be taken off the road.

This vehicle has a very unsafe condition when accelerating away from an intersection, whether stopped or at a low speed, there is a serious lag before acceleration kicks in and the vehicle accelerates. It's like the vehicle is waiting (way) too long to downshift and pull away, and wants instead to slooooooowly build speed which is very unsafe at intersections. The only alternative is to floor it, resulting in unsafe and jerky acceleration.
