Suspension Problems of Land Rover Discovery

Our 2017 Land Rover Discovery hse tdi6 has been to the dealer multiple times since purchased new in 2018. This vehicle has several safety issues. First is the random and repeatable shut down of the abs, stability, automatic braking, electric steering, windshield leak causing considerable water penetration. The primary concern is the vehicle will lose communication with the abs, airbag, stability, braking steering computer at any time while driving. This vehicle had been inspected prior with no known fix. This issue nearly caused an accident on Monday 3-14--2022. Vehicle can be hard to control when the lights on the dash turn on, loss of steering assist and suspension (floating, roughness, swerve etc). Windshield leak started approx 3 weeks ago and there is a strong musty odor. Other items we've had issues with are the infotainment system not starting or freeing up (not booting properly) keeping us from engaging the window defroster. I'm presently more concerned about the potential loss of control with the vehicle. Dealer service times are out several weeks and this is a primary use vehicle for us. I feel these issues are significant enough to warrant further action. I tried uploading images and video but the NHTSA website doesn't appear to be working at this time. I have a catalog of information regarding these issues. Finally, several Land Rover forums have users who experience virtually identical issues as my vehicle. I believe this is a safety issue and could cause an accident if the driver is unaware of the loss of steering, suspension and abs breaking. Thank you.

2017 Land Rover Discovery. Consumer writes in regards to faulty suspension compression pump. The consumer stated the suspension compression pump was faulty. The VIN was invalid.

Brake failure. While driving on a city street, brakes failed to stop vehicle, brake warning illuminated after pressing brake pedal. Emergency brake applied and downshift to slow and stop. Repair shop stated "brake pipes attached to frame had rusted excessively along with frame, a very common issue". While searching internet I easily found hundreds of complaints involving rusted brake lines/pipes and Land Rover (lr) Discovery frames. Upon further search I noted Toyota tacoma frame rust issues resulted in a safety recall. My lr tech said the frame degradation due to excessive rust on the Discovery model is a safety concern! I'm a certified osha aviation safety inspector and am quite concerned over the public safety with this known excessive corrosion problem with lr Discovery brake lines(pipes) and frames.

During routine maintenance, the mechanic noticed that there was a significant amount of rust on the frame of the vehicle. There were several places where the rust had left holes in the metal 6 inches in length. The mechanic indicated that the vehicle would likely not pass a vehicle safety inspection. The mechanic stated that he had not seen a frame rusted this badly on a vehicle that was only 7 years old.

: the contact stated the steering wheel was misaligned while making turns. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who adjusted the steering wheel, but this did not remedy the problem. The vehicle was returned to the dealer again and the drag link was replaced, but this did not remedy the problem. During another visit, the dealer noticed the bracket on the frame where the front track bar bolts was fractured. Additionally, the dealer determined the fracture was caused by a cold weld or was not welded properly when manufactured, however the vehicle was not repaired by the service dealer. The vehicle was eventually taken to an independent frame shop for repair. The vehicle was placed on a frame alignment machine; the bracket was bent back into place and welded. The contact is concerned because the vehicle was possibly manufactured with this defective frame weld and it appears to have been welded mechanically. The exhaust system was misaligned which caused the tail pipe to rattle. The was a fluid leak coming from the transfer box due to a failed input shaft seal. Updated 04/06/06.

While driving 30 mph (en route to the interstate), my steering wheel began shaking violently. As I prepared to pull over to investigate, the lugs: nuts on my front left wheel flew across the road and shortly thereafter, the entire wheel flew off. The wheel bounced against the left front panel of the vehicle causing the damage mentioned in this report. I had previously taken my vehicle in for service to Land Rover of winnetka in winnetka, illinois complaining of a shaking steering wheel at speeds over 45 mph.
