Windshield was leaking into electrical compartment. Caused $10,000 worth of damage and caused the vehicle to be inoperable and stop while driving.
Driving down the highway at night in the rain and car died completely. . . All electronics shut off, car shut off and had no power to steering or breaks or anything. Would not start once it was pulled over and had to be towed to dealer. At the dealership I was told the leaking windshield had eroded the wiring throughout. They could not start or power the car at all. They removed the complete interior and have had the car for 45 days with no estimate of when it is drivable again.
My car caught on fire while driving only 5 days, and 210 miles, after being purchased brand new. I first smelled melted plastic, few seconds after that saw smoke rising up under the driver seat and then felt the seat getting hot and saw flames shooting under my seat. All along there were no warning messages or light displayed on the car. The car burned completely and was deemed totaled by my insurance. Insurance investigation, along with Land Rover representatives and local law enforcement detectives that were assigned to the case, determined it to be a manufacturing issue.
