Did they say why yours was unfixable? |

On 9th July I bought a new Defender HSE 240. Within days several electrical faults. Firstly reporting itself as stolen, then reporting a flat battery and not connecting to the internet via mobile network or the Wi-fi when connected at home.
Returned to dealers after 72 hours. In workshop for four days. Offered a replacement which is on the way from the factory.
I drove the car c 700 miles and loved it. I am seriously wondering whether to accept the replacement which is due back with me in next 48 hours.
I had new evoque, new RR sport and new discovery all as first editions and never had any problem like this. Has anyone else experienced any of these issues? I don’t really want the hassle of a replacement then having the same issues?
What I find curious is that they must have found a fatal issue with a system and feel is not repairable to suggest replacing it without a fight, at only 700 miles? All that talk of a new level of quality. If the components are substandard it will show and seems to be, not just on this vehicle but others also (Powerful UK). Peoples jobs depend of these cars selling so I hope they short their S*** out. |
