New Defender spotted in Moab

I follow the New Defender Owners Group on Facebook. There are far too many posts like these. Sure every vehicle has its issues especially when it's first released. These aren't those type of issues. This is just poor quality control. On the part of Land Rover and on the part of Land Rover dealerships. Delivering a vehicle with a suspension fault? Nope. Not on the vehicle that I am paying 50k plus on.

Agreed. I feel the same way about Toyota fanboys who zealously defend things like drum brakes and mediocre amenities and MPG in 2020. Or Jeep guys that blindly accept some of the more notorious QC issues.
Each brand has its own die hards. But when you pay so much money for a vehicle, it should be worthy of the investment and require zero “fixing” at least in the first several years of ownership.

i.e. a $50K+ vehicle shouldn't have the Yugo level problem of parts falling off as you're driving down the road or come with improperly installed equipment fixed with crazy glue.
