What 2021 Land Rover Range Rover Velar owners say
Electrical system
My fuel light came on and I stopped to fill up with gas. While pumping, the pump clicked off multiple times. I knew it was not full. I got it to 17 gallons and left. As I was driving, I noticed the vehicle did not sound normal when shifting. I slowed to approach a turning lane and my vehicle proceeded forward. The breaks and the park button would not work. I ended up rolling into another vehicle, which stopped me. The was no forward collision warning. We were able to get the vehicle home and had it towed to the dealer. The dealership performed diagnostic testing twice and took it on multiple test drives, with no issues or warnings. A recent recall was made on the 2021 DC converter which causes electrical issues. When I searched by my VIN my vehicle was not affected. A co-worker mentioned air in the gas line or an issue with the vapor lock. …
Well maintained vehicle I've been sole owner of. Driving normally along highway at normal speed. Electrical issue warning alert pops up, immediately goes away. This happened again, car fills with smoke and is immediately on fire. Happened very quickly. Have had zero issues with this vehicle otherwise. No warnings. Car was functioning perfectly leading up to the incident.
