My front windshield cracked to the point of requiring replacement with neither notice nor reasonable cause (no impact, no crack starting point, besides the bottom edge, no temperature gradients, no pressure applied to the windshield).

On the 2020 Land Rover Defender, a known problem is a rattling sound of the passenger side A-pillar. Land Rover posted a bulletin on how to fix the issue and I brought it for a fix in November, but the sound persisted. Yesterday when driving at highway speeds there were heavy cross winds and the A-pillar flew off the vehicle into traffic but did not hit anyone. This is very dangerous. The engineers need to fix this.

On August 3rd, while driving West-southwest at approximately 80 mph on interstate 90 in Montana, the A-pillar cover became loose and the small cover at the base of the a pillar flew from the vehicle while moving. The two remaining pieces remained on the vehicle, one piece barely held on by a screw at the base, the other held on with about 50% of the adhesive still intact. Both would have flown off had we not immediately pulled over and removed each with the tools I had in the car (personal tools I happened to have with me). The two pieces that remained on the car were approximately 26 inches long, one 5 inches wide, the other 3 inches wide. The event startled my wife but could have really impacted a car behind us had the two pieces come off. Prior to the incident, I heard a lot of 'fluttering' noise coming from the a and / or B pillars. Being that it was a new vehicle I did not do anything about it (assumed it was part of natural road noise). I was planning addressing it with the dealer upon my return from my trip. At the time of the incident, the car had less than 3.5K miles on the odometer. I believe this could be a safety risk to the driver and other passenger cars around the vehicle if this were to happen again. It appears that the design allows air to get under the a pillar cover which creates vibration and ultimately breaks it loose from the piece underneath attached by adhesive.
