Just ignore any post by stillruns. He constantly posts the same stupid comments about a vehicle he doesn't even own. Ignoring him is our only hope of getting him to go troll a different forum.

 

The solution to all your stillruns problems. The troll-proof idiot filter:

 

I've had my 2022 P400 SE since early October. ~3000 miles on it so far including long road trips and it spent 10 days in the crazy December blizzard in California. I've had 0 issues and absolutely love it. Its great and I highly recommend it.

I agree with you concerning what some people post as issues. I'm coming from a modified STI that I drove the absolute wheels off of and that thing was loud (I had an aftermarket exhaust system so my choice) and uncomfortable (stiffer suspension does not exist) but I loved it all the same. With the new defender I've had my wireless CarPlay drop out once or twice when I'm pretty remote (not LR problem), an auto stop/start issue that happened once (software refresh fixed), and some minor crackling near the A pillar (which turned out to be a big mud cake I picked up off road and since I cleaned it off no issues). But thats it. No hair pulling, no rage-filled forum **** posting, no clickbaity YouTube videos. Just a regular dude and a good truck.

Feel free to use me as your positive data point.

 

I love my defender, not a single issue. I have a 2022.

 

2022 Land Rover Defender 110 SE. We picked the car up from the dealer 6 days ago. Brand new. I'm afraid to say, that after one night in VT, the power steering has completely failed. 200 miles from home. Warmed it up, muscled it down the road a little. Nothing. As someone else said, sucks to be a statistic. If anyone here has any advice, I'd welcome it.

 

I've been there. Feels like a gut punch. Hopefully it will be a quick fix of some electrical doodad or some such and not some gilded albatross of a part that JLR won't release to your dealer. Find out what's broken and don't be afraid to do your own part search. Crack the whip, be the Karen, make a fuss or whatever it takes to be the greasy wheel. Get the biggest, fattest loaner you can get and drive it like you stole it for the duration. It's good petrochemical karmic therapy.

Best of luck


*No doubt our resident counselor from the D1 sub-forum will be along soon to tell you how much of an idiot you are to buy the car in the first place and another learned fellow will be along to tell you all you need is to slip your parts guy a Ben Franklin or two to get it fixed pronto and not to be whining.

 

d4b:

You are the third person recently to define the same problem symptoms. Read this thread to understand:

https://landroverforums.com/forum/20...ems-ok-109640/

My prior comment I wrote in the thread a guess focused on JLR replacing multiple parts of the electronic steering system:

"Whoa -- Steering gear, steering gear ECU and a wheel alignment ..... big money.

EITHER JLR doesn't know what this is and the dealer had time on their hands for a high cost warranty reimbursement

OR JLR knows that when the ECU fails, the sensors are not effective and the steering gear overdrives itself so much it can push the front out of alignment.

Or maybe not?"

I suggest you share with your dealer a bit of the knowledge in the attached thread .. and have them investigate. JLR will certainly repair the faults under warranty.

p.s. as GavinC and PaulLR and others note, if you receive any non-helpful responses, please ignore them. (All others on this forum attempt to be helpful -- or to share interesting thoughts).

 

I think the only way JLR is going to start caring about the quality problems is if they start getting recalls. Obviously, concerns about a luxury brand, customer loyalty & quality aren't doing it. Now that this problem is appearing to be persistent on this Forum, I'm going to ask anyone with it to report the problem (feel free to do so with other safety problems). Losing the ability to steer would be an obvious safety problem to me! If you're having these troubles, here's the link: https://www.nhtsa.gov/report-a-safety-problem#index
