Vehicle warning lights come on including traction control and engine warning. Vehicle stops running after halting and then quits running completely. I had the vehicle towed 80 miles to the nearest dealer in Columbia, SC they reported that it was a loose ground wire on the battery and told me it was resolved. Less than a month later the same thing happened again and all 4 wheels locked up requiring the towing company to drag it onto the flat bed two truck. It was towed to the local dealer in Hardeeville, SC for repair last Friday and am waiting on a notice that they are working on the vehicle. I did report the issue to the local dealer prior to the latest event and was told that the earliest available appointment was a month out. I was not told of any recall by either dealer but was told that they are having the same issue with -€œso many cars-€ The first event was on September 13th and the second on October 14th.

Had recall completed one month ago to correct ground wire location. Two days ago the auto start/ stop activating while in a drive through, the warning lights came on where all safety features were disabled. Gear shifter blinking in "D". had to put transmission in park, then was able to put back in drive. When accelerating out of the parking lot at about 40 mph the vehicle shut off. Starting back instantly, but displayed gearbox failure message. Made it home vehicle shut off in the drive way and wouldn't start back, the tachometer was stuck on 1K RPM, but no power to the vehicle. Waited two hours and the vehicle started back without any issue. Towed to Land Rover as it is a hazard to drive. 2nd attempt at Land Rover for electrical issue fix. Researching online many owners have had this problem with little to no resolution from dealership/Land Rover
