Visibility/Wiper · reported Sep 22, 2026
I am submitting this complaint regarding a potential safety defect involving windshield water intrusion on my 2017 Range Rover Evoque. My vehicle is experiencing water entering the passenger and driver's compartment through the windshield/sealing area. This is not ordinary cosmetic wear or damage to the windshield.

At this point its a matter of time there will be a separation or gap between the windshield and the roof and it will be unsafe and a disaster.

As such, the circumstances raise substantial concerns regarding: Breach of the Implied…
Fuel/Propulsion System · reported Nov 12, 2025
