Case Overview

Recurring Infotainment Screen Failures on a New Land Rover Defender

Land Rover Defender lemon law claims in Florida are covered under Chapter 681, Florida Statutes. When a vehicle requires multiple repair attempts for the same defect and the manufacturer cannot provide a permanent fix, the owner may be entitled to a cash settlement — at no cost. Easy Lemon recovered $102,840 for this client.

Our clients purchased a new Land Rover Defender from Land Rover West Broward in Florida with only 8 miles at delivery. Over the following 14 months, the vehicle's infotainment system failed repeatedly across four separate dealer visits — including a software update, a complete screen replacement, and continued intermittent blanking — ultimately resulting in a $102,840 buyback settlement.

Legal Analysis

Why This Land Rover Defender Qualified as a Lemon

Florida's Lemon Law (Chapter 681, Florida Statutes) sets specific thresholds that entitle a consumer to a buyback or replacement. This case satisfied multiple criteria:

  • Electrical: Required multiple repair attempts without permanent resolution.
  • Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act eligible: Federal warranty protection provided additional remedies.
💡 Zero Cost to the Client: Under Florida's Lemon Law and Magnuson-Moss, Land Rover was required to pay Easy Lemon's legal fees upon successful resolution. The client paid $0 out of pocket.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Do Land Rover Defenders have infotainment or electrical problems?
The Land Rover Defender uses Jaguar Land Rover's Pivi Pro infotainment system, which has been associated with screen blanking, system freeze, and connectivity failures across multiple model years. When the infotainment system repeatedly fails — particularly after software updates and hardware replacement — the underlying electrical architecture may be defective.
Can I file a lemon law claim if the same part keeps failing?
Yes. Repeated failures of the same component after repair or replacement are one of the strongest indicators of a lemon law violation. If the manufacturer cannot permanently fix a defect after multiple attempts — even if they replace the part — that establishes the pattern required by most state lemon laws.
Does Florida lemon law cover Land Rover vehicles?
Yes. Florida's Lemon Law (Chapter 681, Florida Statutes) applies to new Land Rover vehicles purchased or leased in Florida. Land Rover's parent company, Jaguar Land Rover, is subject to Florida's lemon law requirements and federal warranty obligations.
What is a $100,000+ lemon law buyback?
For premium and luxury vehicles with high purchase prices, lemon law buybacks can reach six figures. In a buyback, the manufacturer typically reimburses the full purchase price, taxes, registration fees, and related costs, minus a usage fee for miles driven before the first qualifying repair attempt. Easy Lemon has resolved numerous high-value cases against Land Rover and JLR.
