I have owned this vehical for 2 years now and have repaired well over $7,000 worth of issues. Coolant issues are the number one issue, however we also repaired an oil leak and had electrical issues with the braking system. There are no current recalls for my car, but my coolant levels are low again and it is leaking again.

Dash read Low coolant level, no temp change decision to pull over at upcoming gas station was made in my head. I CHECKED THE Temp GUAGE WHICH read normal, at that time I noticed smoke everywhere, I immediately pulled To the side of the road, temp was Still reading normal. Parked and opened hood where engine was full of black smoke engulfed in smoke as if on fire, tow truck was called and the vehicle was towed home, because shops were closed it was 8 pm.

I am the owner of a 2018 Velar Land Rover. Without notice my main door switch has went out on the truck. I cannot adjust my mirrors which is a safety issue. I cannot adjust my mirrors for viewing while I am driving. I also cannot let down any windows and the rear doors are locked on child lock. This is a safety risk for me and my children who ride in the back seat of the vehicle. I have been having problems with this vehicle since I purchased it. I was able to take the vehicle to the same shop that had to replace the starter in the Velar, and they stated to me that it was the main power switch on the driver's door that has gone out, this was last month in August. On 9/25/24 I contacted the dealership to let them know the problem and to make a ticket. I was told that I would have to pay $300 for a diagnostic fee and after I pay for the fee that they would see if they could assist with some payment for the repairs. I talked with the supervisor to let her know that I should not have to pay for a diagnostic due to this truck always having repairs/ issues and this is a safety issue, and the main switch should have not gone out already without any notice.

I've been having various start/stop issues with my car in the middle of traffic with are real safety issues. My first visit at Land Rover dealership was back on July 12, 2024 for a powertrain recall. Full inspection during that time revealed that everything else worked fine with my car expect that a new set of tires were needed. Since then, I had intermittent window and blinder issues not working and various not functional start/stop feature. I had to replace the window driver switch and recently, I started having start up issues and have changed the battery. Going back to the dealer for inspection, I was informed that the reason why my car will randomly stopped in the middle of traffic is I need an update of my software transmission control module. I feel is a fundamental safety issue that was undetected from previous visit. Other issues that were raised by the dealer include an oil leak and the need to replace both the supercharger adn main drive belt because of oil saturation. I would add that this type of car had a known water pump manufacturing issues that I am not sure has been recalled. I also had to bear the costs of replacing the water pump for my car.I would like Jaguar/Land ROVER to cover these costs of repairs and work with me to address the outstanding issues specially the software related issues.

My car had a coolant leak and started overheating and i immediately took it to the dealership. It was found that the water pump and coolant was leaking in the front and back and the temp gauge was broken. This car has less than 68k miles and shouldn-??t happen. I found a recall with the same vehicle but my vin is not pulling up in the recall. I also found out from other services that they are fixing this a lot with the model and the manufacturer won-??t take responsibility. If this isn-??t fixed my car will catch fire.

The incident happened on freeway. I was driving my car at the speed of 60 -65, all of a sudden the car started slowing down and I pulled over immediately. As soon as I pulled over I could see the smoke coming out of the hood. So immediately got out of the car and started to contact roadside assistance but while in the process of contacting roadside assistance within couple mins the car started catching fire from the hood side then I panicked and called 911. Thanks to the fire service department ! they came by and put out the fire. Omg! my whole car except the rear truck was burnt. If I was inside the car for couple more mins I would not be alive to write this report. It was very scary and traumatizing ! I don't have any clue how this one happened all of a sudden and I could not believe my eyes watching the car catching fire. I strongly feel that I got a bad apple. In my opinion it looked like something was wrong under the hood as the smoke came from the hood. There was no accident involved and a car catching fire on its own is uncommon. This makes me anxious and scared.

When trying to drive my wife's vehicle the gauges for speed, tachometer, vehicle status etc turn off. The two touch screens also turn off so cannot control any climate, radio, drive settings etc. It will come on intermittently and turn back off without warning. The car still operates but without any instrumentation. Unknown how this affects safety features such as airbags.when my wife drives it is less intermittent but happens from time to time. If I attempt to start the car sometimes it won't even turn on but after a couple minutes I can get it to start. It is push button. Have tried both set of keys.
