The windshield is leaking water in the passenger side. I had to previously take then vehicle in for the same thing in 2019. 2023 it’s the same issue, this is unsafe for myself and my family. I took it to the same dealership that repaired it the first time and was told to call roadside assistance then they put tape on it.

The vehicle breaking system is damaging the ware items (Rotors and Pads) causing the vehicle to shake and shutter and become unsafe when driving on curvy roads and down hill. This vehicle has been in to the dealership 3 times under warranty and the dealership and Land Rover will not diagnose and repair the system problem. The vehicle was in the shop for 56 days and returned un repaired as the vehicle has now gone out of warranty. This is an ongoing issue and caused the vehicle to become uncontrollable. Also the blind spot monitoring system has failed many times and also has been in for repair and never fixed.
