My vehicle was sitting in my driveway for five days over the Fourth of July weekend this year into the Wednesday of the following week when I walked out to my car and saw that the windshield had long cracks all over it commencing in the frit. There was no debris, rock, or anything in the well of the windshield or in the driveway. This is my second Range Rover Velar and while there was no impact to this windshield, I have seen that these windshields are very sensitive and easily damaged by the slightest things. I am really coming to believe that Jaguar Land Rover is using defective materials. Please investigate this potentially serious safety issue. Thank you!

I purchased a used 2021 SUV from a licensed dealer in January 2025. At the time of sale, the odometer was disclosed as showing just over 72,000 miles. However, I obtained a third-party vehicle history report that shows the vehicle had over 73,000 miles six months earlier. I personally photographed the odometer at nearly 76,000 miles only three days after the purchase. This suggests the odometer reading was rolled back or misrepresented prior to the sale. Immediately after the purchase, the vehicle experienced multiple issues including: A battery failure on the day of purchase A dashboard warning for “SOS System Limited Functionality” within a few weeks A missing fuel filler cap that triggered a vehicle system alert Severely worn tires that required immediate replacement The SOS system malfunction was confirmed and inspected by the dealer. The other issues were documented with photographs and reviewed during service follow-up. I believe the odometer discrepancy misrepresented the vehicle’s condition and contributed to these early failures. I am concerned this vehicle may have been tampered with or inadequately reconditioned before being sold, putting the safety of my family and other drivers at risk.
