Can you please update on email that was sent on the 15th Jan as of yet I've received no reply back regarding my complaint

cust took the car in for a software update, asked if it was okay to stay and the service advisor that he would be okay. Th cust checked his phone and it hadnt been worked on. SA told the customer that it was having an update. hours passed and he then was told they were going to look at the vehicle. A girl in the reception spoke to the customer, after 3 hours the cust was told that he needed to bring both of the keys. The gentleman asked to speak with the manager who was in the glass room, cust had to be at a funeral and needed to leave at 2pm. Manager eventually came out and apoligised, cust questioned why they hadnt asked for the second key. Could they ring the customer to discuss this further, car was delivered and the cust was 5 mins late for the funeral and today there is no call at all. Cust number has never changed and is still the same since purchasing the vehicle in 2017, cut has left feedback on the dealership website. Cust expected alot more from the dealership as he has been a cust for a long time.

Hi I bought a Land rover range over sport off yourselves in Belfast in October 2025. The sales executive James McIntosh was fantastic ( this email does not relate to him and is not a complaint in regards to him. My experience of purchasing the jeep and collecting it with him was very positive.However, when I collected the land-rover in October I drove my jeep home and discovered their seemed to be a draught noise within it nearly felt like the window was opened but it was not. I rang Charles Hurst and addressed my concerns re the noise. I got booked in after a long wait and was told that the car needed a window. I then booked in 'again' and got the window replaced. I drove home that evening after this repair has been 'completed' and I could hear the same noise again and I rang the service team and was told they were busy but I would be prioritised and get booked in asap and they would be in touch to pick the jeep up again. The noise was so annoying that it took the complete excitement and enjoyment out of getting a new jeep and with no date anytime soon to be fixed and with no one ringing back as a priority to give me a date. I actually had to take the jeep myself and get the window fixed and resealed, my own garage that I took the jeep to couldnt even believe the way the window was left and said any wonder there was still a noise.I am very disappointed with the service from repairs/warranty team since buying the jeep and it is very clear to be seen that their is no problem when you are buying a jeep or looking to spend the money the service is first class. However, after you have collected and paid it cant even be fixed correctly. I have now had to pay to get the window noise repaired myself with my local private company and it has been left at my expense.I also from day one of collecting the jeep have had problems with the land rover app, not unlocking and locking from the app as well as it constantly telling me my fuel is low when the jeep was full.Again, reported it followed the steps, didn't work, brought it down to Belfast they deleted and reinstalled, never fixed same problems. Rang land-rover app team again went through the same steps and other steps and never sorted. Now into January it finally got escalated to case manager and after a few days the fuel levels are now rectified however, the unlocking and locking from the app is supposedly a problem worldwide. I am very disappointed overall and I look forward to hearing from you. Can you advise if you would like a copy of the invoice for the fixing of my car so I can be reimbursed? thanks

My discovery was recovered to CH Belfast via Landrover Assist on 6/1/26 due to an electrical fault meaning the vehicle could not be driven. Initially told 3 weeks before vehicle could be diagnosed let alone fixed, then following week I called for an update. Then told 4/6 weeks until it would be looked at and a backlog of repairs from beginning of December 2025. 2 emails have not been responded to, the last being sent on 21 January to Lois in the service dept. Surely vehicles should be scheduled in for repair and customers given some indication of when they can expect to receive their vehicle back. Customer service and communication is poor, staff don’t seem to care and if there’s a backlog of repairs since December 2025 then I’m not the only disappointed and disgruntled customer? It is not the service you would associate with a quality brand such as Landrover. It’s disgraceful that CH are all over you like a rash when buying the car yet once purchased the after sales service is so poor. Please can someone review this situation and update me? We’re paying nearly £900 a month for this car and not even having the benefit of driving it. This is our 3rd new discovery from CH Belfast and the problems with this vehicle have been numerous.

I am writing to formally raise a complaint regarding the Land Rover vehicle with registration TGZ9130, which I purchased on 25 May 2025.Since the date of purchase, the vehicle has been returned for repairs three times, all for issues that fall under warranty. Despite these repeated repair attempts, the problems have not been resolved. The vehicle has spent extended periods at the Land Rover workshop, in some cases for months at a time, rendering it unreliable and unfit for normal use.As a result, I have been forced to rely on rental vehicles that are not equivalent to my purchased vehicle, causing significant inconvenience and additional personal expense. At the same time, I continue to pay finance instalments and insurance for a vehicle that is more often in the workshop than available for my use.Given the repeated failures, prolonged repair times, and ongoing inconvenience, it is clear that this vehicle is defective and has not met reasonable expectations of quality, reliability, or fitness for purpose.I am therefore requesting urgent resolution, and ask that you confirm one of the following options without further delay:1. Cancellation of the agreement and a full refund, or2. Replacement with another vehicle of similar value and specification, or3. Any alternative resolution you propose that fully addresses the financial and practical losses I have incurred.Please treat this matter as urgent and advise on the next steps as soon as possible. Should this issue not be resolved promptly, I will have no choice but to escalate the matter further.I look forward to your immediate response.
