Service Brakes problem #1

48v dcdc converter failed leaving car with no power or option to move safety to the side of the road. Part currently backordered due to a high amount of failures.

Service Brakes problem #2

I had not driven the vehicle for about a week. When I started it, there was a message on the dash about the hill descent malfunctioning. I put the vehicle in reverse, and without pressing the accelerator, it was incredibly difficult to stop. Had I not been in my own driveway, this would have been very dangerous. I had the vehicle towed to a service center, and they confirmed that the auxiliary battery was not producing enough voltage and this caused the brakes to fail. After researching this online, I can see that it is a known design flaw experienced by many people, but it has not been resolved by Land Rover! if this battery had failed in a different scenario, I may have been unable to stop the vehicle with a crash resulting.
