Land Rover Defender Lemon Law Case Study
Recurring Infotainment Screen Failures on a New Land Rover Defender
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.

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.
