i have not been able to have the recall component replaced because the parts have not been available. I have tried 2 different land rover dealerships since Oct 2021 and the part has yet to be available due to low supply. the engine light is now on on my dashboard as part of this recall.

While driving with my family on the highway, the following alerts started to display: Charging syatem fault; ABS fault; stability control not available; emergency brake assist not available; transmission fault. The car then suddenly drop the speed from about 45 mph to about 10 mph, causing a near miss with the cars behing us.the engine started to shake and vibrate and sound rough. I was able to pull over before the engine quit at all, and then the message "low battery, please start engine" appeared. Tried to re-start but there was no reaction on the car.

Car was running, but in park (parking brake off). I went to the back to get something out (I was dropping something off at a neighbor's) and the back tailgate wouldn't open. Went back, opened door and pressed unlock button on door. Still wouldn't open (which I realize now probably is because the car wasnt actually in park). I thought it was because the car was on, so I reached in to press button to turn it off. Car began quickly rolling back down the driveway. I jumped in and pressed the brake, fortunately no injury, but very scary. Strange, because usually when you turn it off it puts itself into park if you havent turned the dial to do it yourself. Could have been very bad, and so thankful no one was hurt.

On two separate occasions within six months of each other in July and then November of 2017 a small pebble hitting the windshield while driving on the expressway caused an instant shattering crack throughout the windshield. This was not a divot or nick but a shattering crack in each case. This was also not some large object that hit the windshield but standard type of minor debris that flew up from the road. I reported the incident to Land Rover North America who said they would take no action and advised me to notify the appropriate government authority on the nature of the unsafe product defect that I had experienced which I am now doing. I have never had such an incident occur in more than 40 years of operating automobiles and believe the nature of the construction of the windshield on this car is flawed to handle normal driving conditions.
