Thanksgiving for Bethenny Frankel isn’t just about regular feasts, family gatherings, and sharing stuffed turkey recipes this year. The celebration took an unexpected turn for the reality TV star and came with an adrenaline rush as he described the terrifying situation with his Land Rover.
Bethenny Frankel Reveals Heartbreaking Encounter With Her Land Rover
In a series of honest and relentless Instagram Stories, the entrepreneur closed the curtain on her recent disappointing experience with the brand’s customer service. Documenting the tense encounter, Frankel started a game called “What brands don’t respond on social media.” Taking note are two well-known names – Pottery Barn and Land Rover.
Zooming in on the Land Rover thing, he delves into more serious issues. It’s not just a “Chelsea Lately” guest; it was a shared concern between Frankel, his friend Paul, his doctor, and other individuals. The problem centers on a defect in Land Rover cars, especially when switching between drive and reverse.
The mother-of-one painted a vivid picture of the potential dangers, describing how the gearshift knob would stick, causing delays in shifting and leaving drivers vulnerable, especially on busy roads. In his words:
“When you go from drive to reverse – there’s a little button to shift the thing – and it sticks so it doesn’t immediately go from drive to reverse or reverse to drive, which can be scary when you’re on the highway. You pull out of the driveway onto the main road, and you can’t get back into the drive, and you’re sitting there, and someone can rear-end you. It really is a situation.”

He highlights the fears and anxieties shared by himself, Paul, and especially his doctor, who refuses to let others drive his car due to safety concerns. Frankel then stressed the need to contact the famous brand, suspecting that other Land Rover owners may be facing the same problem.
The 53-year-old’s rant brought attention to the issue of customer service responsiveness. Frankel, who has more than three million followers on Instagram, expressed his frustration at not receiving a response despite several calls.
Emphasizing the importance of customer service in 2023, he pointed out the sad reality of others without a large social media following facing a brand. The “Wish Me Luck” actor emphasized the potential impact on individuals facing security concerns or purchasing problems.
While it was fortunate that the issue was not fatal, his concerns about the brand grew, especially given the ongoing legal scrutiny of Land Rover’s turbo failure prior to the incident.
follow Car Complaints, in the legal arena, a federal judge ruled that certain claims in a Land Rover turbo failure lawsuit could proceed. The class action alleges Jaguar Land Rover was aware of possible turbocharger failure in certain Land Rover SUV models but failed to warn consumers.

According to the plaintiff, Land Rover reportedly chose to install turbochargers with inferior materials, leading to failure and loss of power in the affected vehicles. But, despite earlier dismissals, the judge allowed certain claims to move forward, signaling an ongoing legal battle.
The vehicles covered under the lawsuit are reportedly SUVs equipped with 2-liter 4-cylinder gasoline engines, such as the 2012-2017 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque, 2015-2017 Land Rover Discovery Sport and 2013-2015 Land Rover LR2.
‘Bethenny Ever After’ Star’s Thanksgiving Stuffing Fun
Now, moving on from Frankel’s Thanksgiving saga, fans will remember that while his last holiday wasn’t particularly festive, his “Out of This World Skinny Stuffing” recipe made up for it.
Known for her Skinnygirl brand, “The Neighbors” actress offers a low-calorie twist on the classic Thanksgiving side dish, promising all the traditional flavors with a fraction of the calories and fat.
