Land rover Discovery sport problems
The Land Rover Discovery Sport (internal code L550) is a compact luxury crossover SUV produced by British automotive company Jaguar Land Rover since 2014, under their Land Rover marque, and since 2017 their best-selling model.
Introduced in late 2014, it replaces the Freelander in a revised Land Rover range of vehicles, with Discovery joining Range Rover as a sub-brand. Contrary to its predecessor, the slightly larger car is also available in a seven seat layout.
The pre-facelift Discovery Sport is based on the JLR D8/LR-MS platform, customised for off-road applications, and is powered by a range of four cylinder petrol and diesel engines. It is the first Discovery introduced with a unibody structure.
Land Rover described the facelifted Discovery Sport as being based on the JLR PTA platform, a rebrand of the D8. It is also used by the Jaguar E-Pace and L551 version of Range Rover Evoque.

- Date Complaint: 2023-03-17
- Fire: 1
- VIN: SALCP2FX9LH
- Components: POWER TRAIN,ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,ENGINE
- Summary: I drive a 2020 Land Rover Discovery Sport, which was serviced over three months. The certified dealership replaced the head gasket, fuel injectors, cylinder heads, and starter engines. The car was less than three years old and had never had any issues before service. The car had a sweet burning odor and very rough gear shifts post-service. Two days before the fire, the check engine light came on within the car. The dealership repeatedly assured me that the vehicle was safe to drive and the symptoms I experienced were normal. As soon as I pulled into my house from the doctor (less than an hour after I called the dealership to speak about the check engine light), I noticed a thin white smoke coming from my engine. I popped the hood, contacted the dealership, and they told me to watch it to see if it stopped smoking. I thought it was overheating. The engine erupted into flames, and the vehicle was almost a total loss. After researching the car, the Land Rover model seems to have had electrical elements recalled along with issues similar to the coolant system. My insurance agency has launched a fire investigation in an attempt to recreate the cause of the fire. Evidence is attached below.

Vehicle year: 2017
Before purchasing the 2016 Discovery Sport HSE, I spent months researching and pricing with many dealers. As a long-time BMW customer, I was new to the brand. However, I found the smaller production British car to be exactly what I was looking for. During my search, I test drove several other cars, including the Audi Q5, Porsche Macan S, BMW X3 & X4, Jeep Grand Cherokee Summit, and Mercedes GLE300. After the test drives, I knew that the Land Rover Discovery Sport was the car that connected me to the road. It's important to note that JLR dealers outside of your 'market area' may not sell to you, so it's best to ask before negotiating. I was able to do all of my negotiating between two dealers via phone, email, and text, and I didn't even have to step inside the dealer's lot since I had already test driven the 2015 model earlier. When it comes to dealers, it's important to find one that matches your personality and needs. Some dealers can be snobby, snooty, or rude, while others are very helpful, professional, and patient. If you are financing or leasing, it's a good idea to find out what the best bank rates are before you negotiate. Some dealers are forthcoming and will tell you the finance rate or lease residual/money factors. I dealt with two dealers that were very transparent in their sales approach. The car has a slightly stiffer suspension than the other cars I test drove, but the connection to the road is more important, and the suspension is not jarring - it has manners. The most important standard feature on this car that makes the drive so good is Torque Vectoring by Braking. Torque vectoring makes high-speed turns, power acceleration into turns, and off-road handling a must-have for confidence if you are the driver type. I absolutely love this car - it makes me smile again, like I remember when I had my first 4WD BMW. The Discovery Sport is definitely for someone or a family that wants to travel almost anywhere safely and comfortably. Update: In 2016, new software was loaded for the Powertrain and Infotainment, which has changed the car entirely.Engine is now very quick to engage with no more laggy acceleration. The navigation is reliable 100% of the time. Fuel tank reading is now accurate. I absolutely love this car! UPDATE: 2017 - Updates for the seat rattles, In Touch controls, Navigation, Auto Start Stop, and service reminder were all done at no cost and it was excellent. It's great to see JLR changing their way of listening to customers and addressing issues with factory campaigns. The service department was very receptive to customer concerns and there was good follow-up after the service work by JLR in England via a written survey returned by post. Since I have less than a year left on my lease, I am considering another JLR product to replace the Discovery Sport. Whilst at the dealer for service, I had a chance to speak to my sales advisor and he pointed towards the Range Rover Velar or the full-sized Discovery that replaced the LR4. Both look very appealing and are a great way to step up from the Discovery Sport. So far, I am very happy with the Discovery Sport and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a driver's car (not a mushy soft car like everyone else).....

It hasn't been perfect, but overall, I absolutely love my car! There have been a few electronic issues, such as the rear mirror dip feature and the SIM card needing service, but despite that, it's a fabulous car. It's beautiful without being too flashy and is truly an ideal vehicle.

I think this car is great overall, but I was a bit disappointed when I bought a Land Rover. Although I know it is on the lower end of the spectrum, I still expected it to have everything my sister's Sonata has. Unfortunately, it doesn't have a blind spot warning, and we were told it was because we got the third row seats and they couldn't get the wiring in. Additionally, the material in the black package feels cheap, and every so often it pops out of place and I have to push it back in. There is also a lot of squeaking, and I can't change the preset from the steering wheel. Despite these issues, I still enjoy driving it and appreciate its other features.

Vehicle year: 2017
Update 2021: I recently bought my wife a Jag iPace EV for her 60th birthday and it's been an amazing experience! Although, she wouldn't let me drive it, so I decided to sell my Discovery for $27,500 (private) and bought my own iPace. One interesting thing that happened during the sale was that the buyer of my Discovery wanted to purchase a warranty plan, but no company would offer them on LR. Eventually, he found one for $3700 for 3 years, so I had to adjust my sale price by $500. However, since I now own 2 Jags and plan to keep them for a long time, I'm concerned about going out of warranty on an EV. Update 2020: Edmunds asked me to update my review and I'm happy to say that I still love this car! I haven't had any complaints or issues since my last review. I did see the new version of the Discovery and I have to admit, I'm not a fan of the boot's design. It's just not as sleek as before. These 2016 models seem to be holding their value pretty well. I bought mine for $41K off the lot with tax in 2016 and it's worth $29.6K today (private sale). Update 2018: After 2.5 years and 6K miles, my battery went up, but that's normal for Florida. Even though I only have 6K miles at 2.5 years, I had the 30K mile check-up which cost me $750. Original: My family and I recently took delivery of a 2016 Discovery Sport and we couldn't be happier with our purchase! While waiting for 3 months for delivery, I was reading reviews and was quite worried by the bad press. We also test drove the full-size Sport before buying the Discovery and found the almost twice as expensive Sport to have clunky breaking, albeit a luxurious interior. We previously owned a Mercedes GL450, which we found too hard to get in and out of and had a sterile interior. Compared to the Discovery, it was not nearly as comfortable and the transmission was more cumbersome/computerized than the Discovery...by far. So, I don't understand the bad reviews. The Discovery Sport in sports mode is super smooth in acceleration and I haven't experienced any of the down-shifting issues mentioned in the many reviews.I live in a small town and I didn't choose the car based on its 0-60 rating. During my first test drive of the Discovery, I was a bit taken aback by the sparse interior, by Land Rover standards, but the dealer only had black. It's important to consider that this is a low-cost Land Rover product. However, I ordered an SE with a Glacier Brushed Aluminum interior and it was very nice. The steering wheel is much more comfortable than the $75K GL450 with the premium 2 upgrade package I had. On the SE, the two-tone roof option was only $350, which really sets it apart from the competition in terms of look and feel. We looked at every car in this price range and would highly recommend it to anyone in this market. Of course, maintenance is always a concern, but my CPO GL450 had to have a leaking shock absorber replaced with only 28,000 miles and it was not covered by the Benz CPO and cost $900, so I don't think Mercedes offers any better in quality.

After months of debating between this car, the Mercedes GLC, and the BMW X3, I ultimately chose this car and I am overall happy with it. The car has a unique style that catches people's attention, and the seats in the back recline, making them comfortable for adults to sit in for longer than 20 minutes. The interior is not cluttered with unnecessary touchpads or mouses, so you actually have a place to set something down that isn't the passenger seat. Although I have only had the car for about two weeks, there are three issues that I have noticed. Firstly, there is no compass, which can be inconvenient for off-the-beaten-path driving. Secondly, the Heads-Up display is not bright enough to be seen on a sunny day, but you will definitely see the reflection/glare of the screen that is generating it. Lastly, the left-right arrow buttons on the steering wheel do not choose between the 18 preset radio stations, instead, they act like a radio tuner. This undermines the idea of convenience that goes with preprogramming your radio stations or putting buttons on the wheel to control the radio. If I am wrong on this, please someone tell me how to change it.
Are you having problems with your Land rover Discovery sport?
Jorge O'Kon 2025-07-05
Vehicle year: 2017
I have experienced multiple issues with my car, including a coolant leak, failed water pump, and computer system failures. Despite taking it to the dealer several times, I was disappointed to find that not all the work was completed as promised, and the problems persisted. At 58,000 miles, one cylinder lost compression without warning, which was a frustrating experience. Although Jaguar Land Rover USA, LLC eventually replaced the engine after three months of back-and-forth, there were still issues with the engine after each repair. Unfortunately, Jaguar Land Rover refused to take any further action, leaving me without a car and without any rebates to help me purchase a new one. It was a disappointing experience, and I would caution others to stay away from these cars. Despite their enjoyable driving experience, Jaguar Land Rover's poor handling of this situation and lack of customer service ultimately led to an $8,000 loss for me.

I really liked the look of this car and that's what initially caught my attention. However, after test driving it, I found that it wasn't the right fit for me. I agree with the other reviewer who mentioned the turbo lag, which caused the car to jerk when starting or accelerating. This made it difficult to make turns at traffic lights. Additionally, when I parked the car, it would sometimes roll forward a few inches, which was concerning. Despite bringing it in for service, the issue was not resolved. While the car may be suitable for highway driving, I found it challenging to drive in town and get on the highway. As a result, I have decided to return to Lexus once my lease is over.

Hi there! I wanted to share my experience with my Land Rover Discovery. I've taken it to the dealer twice now to address a shifting problem, but unfortunately, they couldn't find anything wrong. The problem is still there and they're blaming it on the software. As someone who has driven many different models from various manufacturers over the years, I don't think I can recommend owning a Land Rover Discovery.
Mikel Smith 2025-06-11
Vehicle year: 2017
Hey there! I hope you're doing well. I wanted to share my experience with this car that I've been driving for about 10 months now. While it's definitely a luxury SUV with a price tag of close to $50K with some options, I personally don't think it quite lives up to the luxury label. The transmission has been a bit of an issue for me - it's quite jerky and even my passengers have noticed it. I've taken it to the dealership a few times, but unfortunately, the issue persists. Additionally, the inside technology feels a bit dated to me. The GPS system in particular looks and feels a bit archaic and has some bugs. I'm also not a huge fan of the user interface. Lastly, the gas mileage isn't great - I'm getting about 11-14 mpg during city driving, but I can get it up to about 25 on the highway. Overall, I think this car has some room for improvement, but it's still a decent option. Thanks for listening!
