Land Rover electrical problems

Owners have filed 722 complaints with NHTSA about the electrical system on Land Rover vehicles — 11% of everything reported about the brand, across 19 models. The model that accounts for most of them is the Land Rover Range Rover, worst in 2006.

These are raw counts. A model that sold in millions appears near the top for that reason alone — the grade never compares one model with another.
