We are continuing our Women Behind Defender series with Michelle, a former Racing Driver from Michigan, USA. Growing up in the car industry, building her own race car – a ’69 Camaro drag racer, this led to her career in the automotive industry. In 2003, Michelle moved to the UK and started her journey here at JLR. Michelle was involved on working on the vehicle dynamics for the new Defender. Michelle made it her mission to ensure the steering weight on the new Defender wasn’t too heavy to appeal to both men and women. When we set out to create Defender, we set out to create a vehicle that would stand the test of time. It was a challenge for the team to balance low-speed agility, comfort and off-road ability. Michelle said “We have been delighted by the reaction and its success. It’s still my favourite car.” Find out more about Michelle’s exciting journey and her continued success at JLR. https://lnkd.in/g_B4JWT4 #LifeatJLR #WomeninEngineering #CareersatJLR

Yeah I was excited as well until I got mine and it’s been I the shop8 times in 2 years. Even received a letter from you acknowledging the issues. Then your customer service team offered me a pathetic offer to use at a local dealership to have a scratch repaired when I actually bought extra protection and got told no it’s not covered. I am so severely disappointed with how this whole matter has been handled. I was so excited when I got my defender to just be completely disappointed
