I was driving on main road at the speed limit (45 mph). I had slowed down as I observed a car pulling out ahead of me onto the road. As I gave my vehicle gas in order to get back up to speed, I felt a pause in the engine and then the car completely lost power- the engine stopped, the red battery icon appeared on the dash, and message appeared on the screen with the heading "special program suspended" or something to that effect-- I had no time to read that message as I had to steer my car as far to the right as I was able to. I tried to restart the vehicle, it would not start and the message disappeared-- I had no chance to read it as I was on a busy and heavy traveled road and had to ensure I was safely pulled over. Unknown at this time as to what caused this malfunction. This created an unsafe condition as the car lost power with no forewarning. I am lucky that it did not happen on the highway on which I travel most of the time. I contacted Land Rover roadside assistance and the car was put on a flatbed and brought to the dealer.

Vehicle has severe defects relating to the climate control functions. 1) in hot weather, it cannot cool down the car, 2) due to having to keep the climate at lo/max, I am getting 9-10 mpg (16 city is stated), 3) independent climate control functions do not work, 4) no ventilation in 2/3 of car.

The 2017 Discovery has been designed with only 4 air vents in the front dash and 2 very weak air vents in the 2nd row. This is a 3 row passenger vehicle with no vents in the 3rd row. The car is missing at least 4 vents and is creating a safety hazard in hot and cold environments. I cannot have passengers or animals in the rear of the car due to the lack of ventilation in the vehicle. In addition, due to attempting to cool the car down, running the car with max ac is giving me only 9-10 mpg. Car is advertised as 16 mpg city. This is a blatant design and safety issue for climate control and false mpg standards.
