2019 Land Rover Discovery Sport Problems

Transmission stop working suddenly, no lights ON, the car just stopped in the middle of the road. Turbo system cause sudden acceleration . Heat shields get rusty and break.

While driving on the highway, my 2010 Land Rover Discovery Sport stalled at 30 miles mph in traffic. This is the 3rd time same issue happened in 12 months. 3/2024 driving on highway car would not go over 30 mph and felt like it would stall. Had car towed to dealership for service. Service could not recreate issue, gave car back after 4 weeks. as soon as I got on the highway the car stalled. This time all the warnings on dashboard lit up and car completely stalled. Had car towed back for service. 3/2024 car making a loud whinning/whirring sound that got louder over 45 minutes of highway driving. Sent in for service and service could not recreate the issue. 7/22/25 car stalled at 30 mph while in left lane traffic on highway. Numerous cars behind me swerved to avoid me and honked horns. I was very lucky not to be hit from behind all three times this issue occurred. Car currently in for service. 6/13/24 service replaced fuel rail pressure sensor due to internal fail. Updated PCM software, cleared codes. turbo boost bar reaches approx 1 bar and then drops off. heard air leak when boost lost. found intake air duct from throttle body to intercooler disconnected due to broken hose clamp. replaced clamp, refit duct, cleared codes. service notes say road tested but the mileage in on 5/16 was the same as the mileage out on 6/13/24. How is this not classified as a recall with so many reports of the same exact issue? Note all the reports on this site share the same VIN details ( Country and Manufacturing Facility )

Went on reverse vehicle shut off

Driving 80 MPH on an LA freeway with children, "gearbox fault" message, total loss of engine power, forced to coast to the shoulder.

Went on reverse vehicle shut off

It was not prior dash lights or warnings. I was driving and out of nowhere a light I never saw before in the dash went off. It said “Gearbox Failed”. Then a minute later the car shutdown. Diagnostic: the transmission was dead. Thanks God I was near my home and I stopped in the driveway. I don’t know what could happen in the middle of the highway at high speed. They also found the heat seals covering the muffler and the turbo system. Broken and loose. Worst brand ever.

Transmission stop working suddenly, no lights ON, the car just stopped in the middle of the road. Turbo system cause sudden acceleration . Heat shields get rusty and break.

While waiting at a light in 2022 our 2019 Land Rover Discovery Sport did not allow gear shift movement warning showed Gearbox alert we had to turn the car off & sit in the middle of traffic. It finally allowed gearshift to work & we then took it to Land Rover in Frisco,TX. Dealership permanently turned off the automatic auto stop/start function & stated they fixed the issue. Now in 2023 we have the same alert with ATPC with no stabilization & gearbox problems.

When traveling the car does not accelerate properly sometimes losing power. Feels like engine might turn off. But removing foot from accelerator (gas pedal), then reapply, gets engine to respond, but very slowly. No warning messages.

COMPONENT: Driver-front flexible brake hose (service brake hydraulic system), and the brake fluid level warning system. WHAT HAPPENED: While my daughter was driving at approximately 25 mph and braking normally, the brake pedal sank progressively to the floor over about five seconds. The vehicle continued moving and did not slow as commanded during that time. Braking was obtained only after the pedal had reached the floor. She pumped the pedal several times and was able to bring the vehicle to a stop and park it. Brake fluid was leaking underneath. WARNING PRIOR TO FAILURE: None. No brake warning lamp or message of any kind appeared before or during the failure. The driver had no warning. She shut the vehicle off. Approximately twenty minutes later she restarted it, and only then did a brake fluid warning appear. The vehicle had been driven normally earlier that same day, including on the expressway, with no soft pedal, no increased pedal travel and no symptoms of any kind. CONFIRMED BY A DEALER: Yes. The vehicle was towed to an authorized dealer, which diagnosed a failed driver-front flexible brake hose and replaced it. The dealer stated the hose was "torn open" and that the main leak was located where the flexible hose meets its metal fitting. AVAILABLE FOR INSPECTION: No. The technician discarded the failed hose and took no photographs, so the failed part no longer exists. INSPECTED BY MANUFACTURER, POLICE OR INSURANCE: No. HOW SAFETY WAS PUT AT RISK: A brake hose separated at its crimped metal fitting with no prior symptoms, on a vehicle serviced at authorized dealers throughout its life, and the vehicle gave the driver no warning of the fluid loss until the following ignition cycle, after she had already stopped. This happened at 25 mph. The same failure at highway speed, with no warning to the driver, could have had a very different outcome.

BRAKES TO DONE FUNCTION PROPERLY! THERE IS CONTINUAL DRAG AND NOT COASTING DUE TO BRAKE ISSUE. HAD ACCIDENT BECAUSE CAR SLIDE 5 CAR LENGTHS WOULD NOT STOP. CAR ENGINE SHUTS OFF AND NEEDS TO BE PUT INTO PARK AND RESTARTS WHEN HITTING BRAKE QUICKLY, HAPPENS ON FREEWAY VERY DANGEROUS. HAD TO REPLACE ALL BRAKES AT 9K MILES NOW NEEDS ALL 4 BRAKE PADS AGAIN AT 15K MILES. SERVICE DEPARTMENT WILL NOT ACKNOWLEDGE AN ISSUES AND STATES THIS IS NORMAL WEAR AND WANTS $1200 EACH TIME FOR BRAKES. DOES NOT ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THEY CAR SLIDES AND FISHTAILS RATHER THAN STOPS SMOOTHLY WHEN QUICKLY BRAKING. THEY DID NOT EVEN PUT NOTES IN THE SERVICE INVOICE ON WHAT I HAD DESCRIBED. VERY CONCERNED ANOTHER ACCIDENT WILL TAKE PLACE NOT TO MENTION THE CONSTANT COST FOR THIS. I HAVE ANOTHER REPAIR SHOP AND CAR EXPERT IN WRITING STATING THAT THERE IS ISSUES WITH BRAKE SYSTEM.

Left rear Door Latching Mechanism. While the vehicle was in motion/operation the left rear door flew open. also there was no warning indication on the dashboard that the door had become open. the driver and the rear passenger who was sitting in the right rear could of been seriously injured. There are bulletins about this happening with other Land Rover and Jaguar Products. Vehicle is at the Dealership having the defect part replaced. NO.

Rear hatch body welds have failed causing a rattle. The dealership took it apart and placed some foam and sound deadening material. But I was told if the problem was to reoccur, I would have to take it to a body shop.
