THE REAR FOG LIGHTS ARE PLACED DIRECTLY IN THE LINE OF SIGHT OF MOST PASSENGER CARS. THE BUTTON ON THE STALK MAKES IT TOO EASY FOR DRIVERS TO DEPRESS IT, BLINDING MOTORISTS FOLLOWING THE CAR AND CAUSING DANGEROUS VISIBILITY ISSUES. IN FOUR INSTANCES IN LESS THAN TWO WEEKS, I HAVE HAD TO ALTER MY PATH OR PULL OFF THE ROADWAY TO AVOID THIS MAKE OF VEHICLE RUNNING REAR FOGS IN THE BROAD DAYLIGHT.

How to use these: a complaint is one owner’s report, filed voluntarily and published unverified. Patterns matter more than any single story. If several owners describe the same failure at similar mileage, put that system at the top of your pre-purchase inspection list. Back to the full 2017 Land Rover Discovery Sport (7 Seat) verdict →
