2015 LAND ROVER RANGE ROVER Complaints

Two month ago , i bought this 2015 Landover Evoque a week later i smelled fuel gasoline odor , after a close inspection , found gasoline leaking from the right rear of the vehicle's tire above the gas tank , am a mechanic by hobby , started digging in online and found the same issue with other landcovers see below (( Makes/Models/Model Years: LAND ROVER/LR4/2010-2016 LAND ROVER/RANGE ROVER SPORT/2010-2013 Mfr's Report Date: August 12, 2021 NHTSA Campaign Number: 21V-635 Components: FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:DELIVERY:FUEL PUMP:MOUNTING PLATE/FLANGE Potential Number of Units Affected: 111,746 Problem Description: Jaguar Land Rover North America, LLC (Land Rover) is recalling certain 2010-2013 Range Rover Sport and 2010-2016 LR4 vehicles equipped with 3.0L V6 or 5.0L V8 engines. The fuel outlet flange mounted on the fuel tank may crack, possibly resulting in a fuel leak. Consequence: A fuel leak in the presence of an ignition source increases the risk of a fire.)) I took vehicle to a land rover dealership , they confirmed the leaking issue from fuel sending unit (FLANGE) they found the unit cracked .I did contact Land rover customer relationship ,they confirmed with dealership service adviser that this part is defective ! They refused to take responsibly This issue am having is the exact same issue that was acknowledged by landcover on a different model. I wonder how many other landcover like mine is on the road now, with leaking fuel from the gas tank .Very hazardous and dangerous issue for the publics

Vehicle has stress cracking bilaterally on front bumper where it meets the fender , looks like it is due to heat or excess tension from headlight. Cracks are split down the sides symmetrically and end result is requiring a brand new bumper at thousands of dollars. LTB00738NAS2 Is a technical bulletin describing exact issue but land rover states this bulletin doesn’t matter to me as I am out of factory warranty and there is no recall. The bumper being adrift reduces safety of the vehicle and interferes with alignments of sensors used for parking, collision avoidance, and other ADAS systems.

2015 Evoque cam failed and ruined the engine at 68k miles. The cost of the repair exceeds the value of the car (about $17k). No one will fix it for this reason. It shifted into neutral unexpectedly causing a potential traffic hazard. It was impossible to move it out of the roadway without the assistance of a tow truck (parking brakes lock, and gear selector becomes useless.) After some research this seems to be a fairly common known issue. This is very unsafe, and financially devasting on a financed car. There were no warnings and no prior issues up to the time of incident.

After driving the vehicle for 30 miles or more and parking in the garage, a very strong gas odor fills the garage; the vehicle has to be parked outside in the driveway.

My forward collision warning alert frequently goes off unnecessarily but this is not a big deal. However, recently it went off and partially applied the brakes. This should not have occurred and could have been a very big safety issue.

MY CAR WAS TAKEN IN TO A DEALER MULTIPLE TIMES REGARDING WHAT I BELIEVED WERE SEIZED AND LEAKING MAGNERIDE SHOCKS. WHEN ON FREEWAY AND CAR HIT A BUMP THE WHOLE CAR WOULD GIVE A LOUD THUMP AND STABILITY WAS SERIOUSLY COMPROMISED TO THE POINT TURNS DID NOT FEEL SAFE IF THERE WAS A 'ROUGH' ROAD. DEALER FAILED TO RECOGNIZE IT EVEN AFTER ME BRINGING IT IN AND STATING THE PROBLEM AS THEY SAID THAT ISSUE WOULD BE MORE RARE. HAD A THIRD PARTY INSTALL NEW MAGNERIDE SHOCKS... 2 WERE COMPLETELY SEIZED UP IN EXTENDED POSITION ALMOST TO THE POINT THEY COULDN'T BE REMOVED AND A THIRD WAS LEAKING. THERE IS NO MENTION OF ANY SERVICE, LIFESPAN, OR MAINTENANCE ON THE MAGNERIDE SHOCKS. WHILE IN THE PROCESS OF SUSPENSION REMOVAL, BOTH FRONT AXLES WERE BROKEN AS THE INSTALLER NOTICED THE FRONT AXLE THREADS WERE STRIPPED AT THE HUB AND ONE NUT SIEZED AND ANOTHER WAS DANGEROUSLY LOOSE... ENDED UP NEEDING TWO NEW FRONT AXLES AND WHEEL BEARING. THE MAIN ISSUE IS THE REACTION BETWEEN THE METALS, THE HUBS ARE ALUMINIUM AND THE BOLTS ARE STEEL AND THAT CAUSES GALVANIC CORROSION AND CAN BE A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. SHOULD THERE BE SHEARING OR BREAKAGE WHILE DRIVING IT COULD BE LETHAL AND IT'S A SERIOUS DESIGN FLAW.

2015 EVOQUE, 50K MILES ONLY. ON FEB 26TH 2020, I WAS ON THE INTERSTATE AND NOTICED A HUMMING SOUND FROM ENGINE SIDE. GRADUALLY IT BECAUSE SO LOUD AND NON IGNORABLE. THE VEHICLE LOST POWER AND SLOWED DOWN ON THE INTERSTATE. MY WHOLE FAMILY SURVIVED A CLUSTER CRASH BY MERE LUCK. DEALERSHIP SAYS TURBO IS BLOWN AND THIS IS COMMON PROBLEM. BILLS $4500 AND AM OUT OF WARRANTY SINCE NOV 2020. COMMON PROBLEM ??? HOW CAN A 5 YR OLD 50K VEHICLE HAVE A COMMON PROBLEM THAT COSTS $4500 TO FIX ? MY RESEARCH SHOW LAND ROVER WAS ALWAYS AWARE OF THIS TURBO FAILURE ISSUES AND NEVER ATTEMPTED TO FIX IT. THIS IS A DESIGN ISSUE HIDDEN FROM CUSTOMERS AND WE ARE MADE TO PAY FOR THE DEFECT. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS WITH LR AND I REQUEST A RECALL OF TURBOS ON ALL DEFECTIVE LR VEHICLES ASAP.

I HAD BACKED IN TO THE GARAGE AND TURNED THE 'KNOB' TO PARK. THE VEHICLE WAS IN PARK, I HAD REMOVED MY SEATBELT BUT NOT EXITED THE CAR YET AND THE CAR WENT BACKWARDS WITH SOME FORCE AND BREAKING DIDN'T STOP IT, ONLY AFTER I HIT THE BUTTON TO CUT IT OFF, MULTIPLE TIMES, DID IT FINALLY SHUT DOWN. MY HUSBAND WAS BEHIND THE CAR, GETTING READY TO GET THE GROCERIES OUT OF THE REAR. THIS VEHICLE STRUCK HIM AND WENT THRU THE KITCHEN WALL OF OUR CONDO. HIS LEG WAS STUCK UNDER THE TIRE WHICH THAT WAS TURNING ON TOP OF HIS CALF. I AM ABSOLUTELY CERTAIN THE CAR WAS IN PARK BC NOT ONLY WAS THE KNOB SET AT P BUT ALSO THE P WAS ON THE SCREEN. ONLY CERTAIN BECAUSE I'M ALWAYS CAUTIOUS DUE TO THE PROXIMITY OF DISTANCE OF EVERYTHING IN THE GARAGE AND TIGHT QUARTERS.

WHILE DRIVING, MY CAR WILL UNEXPECTEDLY SHIFT INTO NEUTRAL. EACH TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED ON DECELERATION AND IS ACCOMPANIED BY A "RESELECT GEAR" ALERT ON THE DASH AND AN ALARM (DINGING) NOISE. THIS HAS HAPPED 5-6 TIMES IN 3 MONTHS. I HAVE TO FORCE THE SHIFTER OUT OF D AND INTO N THEN BACK TO D AND IT WILL CONTINUE DRIVING. I HAVE TAKEN IN INTO THE LAND ROVER DEALERSHIP 2 TIMES FOR A TOTAL OF ALMOST 6 WEEKS COMBINED, AND THEY HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO FIGURE OUT THE ISSUE OR GET THE FAULT TO REPLICATE. THERE IS A RECALL FOR MY SAME MAKE AND MODEL, JUST NOT MY VIN, THAT IS EXACTLY THE SAME AS WHAT MY CAR IS DOING.

MY 2015 RANGE ROVER EVOQUE WITH 52,000 MILES ON IT, LOST POWER WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY. I WAS UNABLE TO ACCELERATE AND KEEP UP WITH TRAFFIC EVEN WITH THE GAS PEDAL COMPLETE TO THE FLOOR. ON ROADWAYS THAT HAD HILLS, I WOULD LOSE SPEED CAUSING TRAFFIC TO BACK UP BEHIND ME. THE CHECK ENGINE ALSO CAME ON. WHEN I TOOK IT TO THE AUTO REPAIR SHOP I WAS TOLD THAT THE TURBO CHARGER HAD FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE ESTIMATE WAS $6275.
