2013 LAND ROVER RANGE ROVER Complaints

MY EVOQUE ONLY 3 YEARS 63,000 MILES AND THE TURBO IS BROCKEN THE DEALER LAND ROVER SAN JUAN PUERTO RICO SORRY NO WARRANTY FOR WHAT MY EVOQUE ONLY 3 YEARS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 LAND ROVER EVOQUE. WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH, THE VEHICLE HESITATED TO STOP ACCELERATING. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 94,000.

VEHICLE BATTERY WAS BEING DRAWN DEAD INEXPLICABLY. FOUR SERVICE VISITS TO DEALER REVEALED NOTHING OTHER THAN A SILLY STORY FROM IT THAT THE CAR WAS NOT BEING DRIVEN LONG ENOUGH FOR THE BATTERY TO RECHARGE. A DIAGNOSTIC I OBTAINED FOUND A CONSTANT 12 VOLT DRAW ON THE BATTERY MORE REASONABLY EXPLAINING WHY THE 3 BATTERIES WERE DRAINED DEAD... DEALER HAD ME USING A "TRICKLE CHARGE" PLUGGING INTO AN OUTDOOR ELECTRIC OUTLET EACH NIGHT WHICH ONLY DELAYED THE INEVITABLE DEAD BATTERY. I ATTEMPTED TO LEMON LAW UNSUCCESSFULLY UNDER NYS LAW... READ ONLINE ABOUT THE "DEAD BATTERY CLUB" AMONG OWNER AND THUS CAME HERE...

TL* THE CONTACT WAS A BODY SHOP OWNER AND WAS DOING FRONT END REPAIRS ON A 2013 LAND ROVER RANGE ROVER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS TRAVELING 5 MPH IN A DRIVEWAY AT THE TIME OF THE INCIDENT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE HAD SEVERE DAMAGE FOR A VERY MINOR ACCIDENT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER DID NOT HAVE THE PART FOR THE CONTACT TO ORDER. THE MINOR INCIDENT CAUSED THE FRONT END DRIVER SIDE SHOCK TOWER TO BREAK AWAY FROM THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE WAY THE FRONT END WAS MADE, THE DAMAGE SHOULD HAVE BEEN A MINIMUM OF $2,500 INSTEAD OF $50,000. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THEY DID NOT HAVE A REPAIR FOR MOST OF THE DAMAGE THE VEHICLE SUFFERED FROM THE INCIDENT. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

I WAS STOPPED AT A STOP LIGHT WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE PEDAL. SUDDENLY THE ENGINE RPM WENT TO WIDE OPEN THROTTLE. I MASHED ON THE BRAKE AS HARD AS I COULD BUT THE VEHICLE KEPT GOING FORWARD. MY SON WAS IN THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME AND EVEN THOUGH HIS WINDOWS WERE CLOSED AS IT IS COLD HE HEARD THE ENGINE SCREAMING AND SAW THE VEHICLE MOVING FORWARD. HE MOVED FORWARD SO I DID NOT HIT HIM. I WAS ABLE TO PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK AND THEN THE ENGINE WENT BACK TO IDLE. *TR

WE WERE HEADED DOWN A FAIRLY STEEP GRADE THAT WAS COVERED IN PACKED SNOW CONDITIONS, THERE IS A BUTTON IN THE CAR THAT CONTROLS VARIOUS TERRAIN CONDITIONS AND ONE OF THEM HAS A SNOWFLAKE ON IT, MY WIFE SUGGESTED WE PUT IT IN THAT POSITION AND I THOUGHT THAT WOULD BE GOOD SINCE IT WAS SNOWING. THERE IS ALSO A HILL DECENT BUTTON THAT CONTROLS SPEED GOING DOWN HILL THAT WE HAD BEEN USING EARLIER ON DRY CONDITIONS THAT WAS ENGAGED. AS WE HEADED DOWN THE SLICK GRADE AT A CRAWLING RATE OF SPEED THE CARS BRAKES LOCKED DOWN TO THE BEST OF MY KNOWLEDGE THE WHEELS WERE TOTALLY SLIDING THE ANTI-LOCK SYSTEM WAS MAKING NOISE BUT WE WERE JUST SLIDING. I HAD NO LUCK TURNING THE WHEEL OR ASSISTING THE BRAKES TO GET THE CAR TO STOP SLIDING, WE WERE IN NO DOUBT HEADED OFF THE ROAD AND DOWN A MOUNTAIN WHEN I DECIDED TO STEP ON THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL AND THIS UNLOCKED THE BRAKES SO I COULD TURN, AS SOON AS I LET OFF THE GAS IT WOULD LOCK BACK DOWN AND START SLIDING. THERE WAS A ROAD JUST AHEAD OF US TO THE RIGHT THAT HEADED UP THE MOUNTAIN SO I STEPPED ON THE GAS AND TOOK IT UP THE ROAD TO GET THE CAR TO STOP WHILE WE WERE STILL ALIVE. WE THEN LOOKED IN THE OWNERS MANUAL AND IT DID NOT MENTION IF YOU PUT THE CAR IN SNOW FLAKE MODE IT WOULD LOCK DOWN THE WHEELS ON STEEP GRADES. SO AFTER MY WIFE SAID WE ARE SELLING THIS PIECE OF C--- I PUT THE CAR BACK IN REGULAR DRIVING MODE AND WE HEADED BACK DOWN THE SLOPE JUST USING A LOW GEAR AND MANUAL BRAKING AND THIS WOULD WORK IF YOU DID NOT PUSH ON THE BRAKE TO HARD, THEN IT WOULD START SLIDING AGAIN. SO WE TOOK IT TO THE DEALER WHEN WE HAD A CHANCE AND THEY SAID IT WAS FINE! I STILL DO NOT SEE ANY WARNINGS ABOUT NOT PUTTING THE CAR IN CERTAIN POSITIONS FOR VARIOUS DRIVING CONDITIONS ON ANY BUTTONS IN THE CAR OR IN THE OWNERS MANUAL. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 LAND ROVER EVOQUE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE HESITATED TO ACCELERATE FROM A STOP. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 14,694.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 LAND ROVER RANGE ROVER. WHILE THE ENGINE WAS RUNNING AND THE VEHICLE WAS UNATTENDED, IT ACCELERATED BACKWARDS INTO A MAILBOX. THERE WERE NO INJURIES. THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED AND THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 13,000.

I GOT OUT OF THE EVOQUE WITH IT RUNNING AND THE DOOR OPEN. WHEN I CAME WALKING BACK THE CAR WAS GOING UP THE ROAD BY ITSELF IN REVERSE. IT HIT A MAILBOX THAT STOPPED IT. IT COULD HAVE HIT KIDS THAT ARE USUALLY IN THE AREA. LR/RR LOOKED AT IT FOR TWO WEEKS THEN TOLD ME I MUST HAVE LEFT IT IN REVERSE AND GOT OUT OF THE SUV SOMEHOW BEFORE IT MOVED. THEY WERE NOT GOING TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. WHEN I GOT IN THE SUV AFTER IT HIT THE MAILBOX IT WAS STILL IN PARK. LONG STORY SHORT IS LR/RR IS DOING NOTHING FOR US. NOW THE BODY SHOP IS TELLING US THE REPAIR PARTS THAT I HAVE TO PAY FOR WILL TAKE UP TO ONE YEAR TO GET IN. WE HAVE BEEN OVER 60 DAYS AND STILL THEY HAVE NO ETA FOR THE PARTS. WHAT A JOKE FOR A COMPANY OF THIS SIZE. MY WIFE WILL NEVER AGREE TO DRIVE THIS SUV AGAIN WITH THIS ISSUE. NEVER BUY A RR/LR. *TR

I PURCHASED A 2013 RANGE ROVER EVOQUE IN MARCH 2013. WITHIN DAYS OF PURCHASING THE NEW VEHICLE I HAD TO BRING THE VEHICLE TO TWO (2) DIFFERENT LAND ROVER DEALERSHIPS. AS IT TURNS OUT WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS ASSEMBLED THE STEERING COLUMN WAS NOT INSTALLED PROPERLY AND CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO PULL. AN EFFORT WAS MADE TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. I ALSO HAD THE FRONT AXLE REPLACED WITHIN 5 MOTHS OF OWNING THE VEHICLE. I'VE ALSO HAD NUMEROUS OTHER PROBLEMS WITH THE VEHICLE AND HAVE HAD IT IN THE REPAIR SHOP SEVERAL TIMES. *TR
