Problems:
Dynamic brake support (dbs)
Although generally reliable, the DBS system can sometimes malfunction due to sensor issues or software glitches, leading to unexpected braking behavior or failure to activate when needed.
Engine overheating
The in-line 6-cylinder AJ120 i6 MHEV engine can be prone to overheating if the cooling system is not properly maintained. This can be due to coolant leaks, faulty thermostats, or radiator issues.
Turbocharger problems
Turbochargers in these engines can sometimes fail or underperform, leading to loss of power, increased fuel consumption, and excessive smoke from the exhaust.
Timing chain issues
The timing chain in the AJ120 i6 MHEV engine can stretch or wear out over time, causing the engine to run poorly and potentially leading to more serious damage if not addressed.
Oil leaks
Common in many Land Rover models, oil leaks can occur around the valve cover gasket, oil pan gasket, or other seals, leading to a drop in oil levels and potential engine damage.
Electrical issues
The 2020 Land Rover Defender's electrical system, including the DBS, can sometimes experience faults, leading to problems with starting, dashboard warnings, or erratic behavior of electronic components.
Fuel system problems
Issues with the fuel injectors or fuel pump can lead to poor engine performance, misfires, or difficulty starting the vehicle.
Exhaust gas recirculation (egr) valve issues
The EGR valve can become clogged or fail, leading to increased emissions, reduced fuel efficiency, and poor engine performance.
Transmission problems
Particularly in automatic models, transmission issues such as hard shifting, slipping, or delayed engagement can occur, often due to software issues or mechanical wear.
Suspension wear
The suspension components on the 2020 Defender can wear out prematurely, leading to a rough ride, poor handling, and increased tire wear.
