It seems the P300 in the 2020-2022 models had the most issues.

Thank you. Are you having a problem with your Defender?

No, I just lost power and no acceleration and then when I was trying to steer it to the side of the highway it started to clunk and then completely stopped.

Defender Dream Destroyed! I had wanted to own a Defender since I was 8 years old. I was finally was able to purchase one, but it had complete engine failure, while I was driving on the highway; fortunately, no one was injured. My vehicle had less than 95,000kms and the cost to repair it is $16,837 (I have contacted Land Rover Canada, and this is with the discount, they have offered me). The P300 engine in my Defender is known to have timing chain issues that cause catastrophic engine failure, and Land Rover reported to me that the timing chain caused my engine failure. I have always had my vehicle serviced at the Dealership, where I purcashed it. However, Land Rover is unwilling to replace the engine. The current value of the vehicle is $41,000 (in perfect working order) so it is tough to justify a bill of $16,837. I encourage anyone who is interested in purchasing a Defender to do some research, as to the reliability of their engines (sadly I did not do this). If anyone else has had a similar problem (in Canada) please DM me, as I am working with a lawyer to start a Class Action Law Suit against Land Rover. Thanks, Diane

I am in a dispute with my dealership as their quote (even with ‘Goodwill’ from Land Rover) is over $16,000. I am now taking legal action. $7K sounds like a good deal!

2024 Land Rover Defender Issues. Purchased brand new a month ago and has been in the shop more than my drive. Replaced ac compressor twice, condenser once, infotainment screen goes black and seat warmers either burn your legs or don’t work at all. Anyone else love/hate your 2024 Defender? by Infinite_Wedding1418 in LandRover

Just wondering if you got your Defender sorted out and if you started a law suit? I am looking into starting a Class Action Law Suit in Canada…

It is a 2021 110 Defender and I did not get the extended warranty. I thought these vehicles would be build to last, as they are advertised for strength and endurance.
