2015 LAND ROVER RANGE ROVER Complaints

RIGHT REAR DOOR WILL NOT LOCK WHEN USING THE REMOTE OR ELECTRIC LOCK FEATURE. IN ORDER TO LOCK THE DOOR YOU MUST MANUALLY DEPRESS THE LOCK FEATURE. WHEN DRIVING THE DOOR REMAINS UNLOCKED AND THEREFORE COULD OPEN.

REAR MIDDLE SEAT BELT BECOME UNLATCHED. THIS HAS HAPPENED WHEN STATIONARY AS WELL AS WHILE IN MOTION. WE HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS SEVERAL TIMES WHILE TURNING AS WELL AS WHILE IDLE.

I PURCHASED A CAR AT AUTO MAGIC 3 MONTHS AGO. I JUST GET A FLAT TIRE AND REALIZED THE DEALER DID NOT GIVE ME THE KEY TO UNLOCK THE TIRE. I DROPPED THE CAR TO THEM AND THEY COULD NOT FIND A KEY TO GIVE ME. THEY HAVE ME GO HOME AND WILL NOT GIVE ME A CAR TO DRIVE WHILE I AM WAITING FOR THE KEY.

09/06/18 I WAS STOPPED ,WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE, WAITING TO TURN LEFT BECAUSE THERE WAS ONCOMING TRAFFIC. SUDDENLY, WHILE I STILL HAD MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE. MY VEHICLE ACCELERATED AND I HAD TO VEER AND SWERVE TO MISS ONCOMING TRAFFIC. 09/07/18 IT WAS ABOUT 10:50 AM AND I WAS PREPARING TO PARK NEXT TO A STORE. AS I WAS ATTEMPTING TO PARK, AGAIN WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE, MY VEHICLE ACCELERATED OUT OF CONTROL AND I WAS THRUST UP THE CURB, ACROSS A SIDE WALK AND THRU THE STORE FRONT. EVEN THOUGH MY FOOT WAS ON THE BRAKE, IT WOULDN'T STOP. THERE WAS SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE TO MY VEHICLE AND THE STORE MY AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY. SUDDENLY THE VEHICLE SLOWED ON ITS OWN. IT WAS PLACED ON A TOW TRUCK AND DELIVERED TO THE H&H PREMIER AUTOMOTIVE IN OMAHA. LAND ROVER ENGINEERS AND MY INSURANCE COMPANY ARE INVESTIGATING MY CASE NUMBER WITH LAND ROVER IS 8000569280 I DO HAVE PICTURES IF YOU EMAIL ME I CAN ATTACH THEM TO THAT EMAIL. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS. I'M AFRAID RANGE ROVER WILL NOT ADMIT THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM BECAUSE IT WOULD BE A MAJOR RECALL BUT SOMEONE IS GOING TO BE KILLED IF THIS CONTINUES.

AT AROUND 12:40PM ON JULY 10TH, 2018. MY COUSIN AND I WERE PARKING THE 2015 EVOQUE IN A GARAGE DRIVEWAY. THE DRIVEWAY HAS A SLIGHT DOWN SLOPE AND 3 OTHER VEHICLES IN FRONT OF ME SO BRAKES WERE BEING APPLIED TO MANEUVER. AS I WAS COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP, THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED HARD AND QUICKLY. I TRIED TO HOLD THE BRAKE BUT IT SEEMED IT HAD NO EFFECT. THE CAR ENDED UP HITTING THE END OF THE GARAGE STRUCTURE. 911 WAS CALLED SHORTLY AFTER. ON JULY 12TH, THE INSURANCE COMPANY HAS ALREADY DEEMED THE CAR A TOTAL LOSS.

ON 9/22/2017 I PURCHASED A CERTIFIED PRE-OWNED(CPO) RANGE ROVER EVOQUE FROM DIMMITT LAND ROVER IN CLEARWATER. IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE PURCHASE, I BROUGHT UP SEVERAL ISSUES WITH THE VEHICLE TO INCLUDE A MISSING FRONT PASSENGER WINDOW TINT, 3 BLOWN SPEAKERS ON THE FRONT PASSENGER DOOR, PART OF THE A PILLAR FALLING OFF WHILE DRIVING, PROBLEMS WITH THE ECO START/STOP NOT WORKING, AND A TIRE THAT SOUNDED LIKE A TRACTOR TRAILER. SINCE 9/22/2017 I HAVE BEEN TO THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT SOME 6 TIMES, THE MOST RECENT ON JUNE 8TH 2018 FOR ECO START/STOP ISSUE AND THE AGAIN THE TIRE NOISE. NEITHER ONE WAS ADDRESSED AT ALL. I ALSO BROUGHT THE VEHICLE IN FOR SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE TWICE SINCE 9/22/2017 AND BOTH TIME THE MAINTENANCE REQUIRED A TIRE MANDATORY TIRE ROTATION AT 40,000 AND 50,000 MILES. ON NEITHER OCCASION WAS THE TIRE ROTATION DONE. I WAS FORCED TO CONDUCT THE TIRE ROTATION MYSELF ON 6/9/2018. I AM A DISABLED VETERAN WITH MULTIPLE MEDICAL CONDITIONS AND HAVE NO BUSINESS DOING LABOR WORK. THIS IS WHY I PAIED THEM TO DO THE WORK. THEY ALSO HAVE USED MY DISABILITY TO DISCRIMINATE AGAINST ME ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS GOING AS FAR AS USING PREDATORY TACTICS WITH MY DISABILITY TO TRY TO SELL ME OUT OF MY VEHICLE INSTEAD OF FIXING THE PROBLEM. (SEE ATTACHED)

WHILE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION, THE BREAKS FAIL TO ENGAGE. ONLY UNTIL THE BREAK PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED ALL THE WAY TO FLOOR WAS IT ABLE TO ENGAGE CAUSING THE WHEELS TO LOCK AND LOSING CONTROL.

I WAS DRIVING TO WORK WITH MY BABY IN THE BACK SEAT. I GOT TO A RED LIGHT, TURNED GREEN I GO, GET UP TO 40MPH, CAR CUTS OUT (COMPLETE LOSS OF POWER). THE PERSON BEHIND ME SWIRVES OFF THE ROAD TO MISS ME. I AM STUCK IN THE MIDDLE OF HWY 17 (VERY BUSY) THE ROAD FOR 5 MINUTES TRYING TO REATART. MY ENGINE LIGHT IS NOW ON. I GET THE CAR TO START I IMMEDIATELY TURN AROUND TO GET MY CAR AND MY BABY HOME. I AM UP TO 55MPH STILL ON HWY 17 IN JACKSONVILLE NC. MY CAR LOOSES ALL POWER AND SHUTS OFF, AND THE CARS BEHIMD ME SLAMS ON BRAKES AND THERE AIR BAGS COME OUT. NOTHING WAS HIT, BUT IT WAS CLOSE. I TOOK IT TO LAND ROVER IN WILMINGTON NC THEY ARE SAYING IT IS THE VARIABLE VALVE TIMING CONTROL SOLENOID. THE MECHANIC RYAN TOLD ME THAT THIS HAPPENS A FEW TIMES A YEAR, AND HE HAS WORKED ON MANY WITH THE SAME ISSUE. MY CAR ONLY HAS 60,000 MILES ON IT, AND SHOULD NOT HAVE THIS ISSUE. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN OF MINE, ME AND MY CHILD COULD HAVE BEEN HURT. I CONTACTED CORPORATE JAGUAR LAND ROVER AND TOLD THEM OF THE ISSUE I HAD AND THEY SAID THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO. THIS IS A REOCCURRING ISSUE, AND NOTHING IS BEING DONE ABOUT IT, AND IF I WOULDNT HAVE THOUGHT FAST DURING MY INCIDENT I COULD HAVE LOST MY LIFE OR EVEN WORSE MY CHILDS.

THE PASSENGER HEADLIGHT WENT OUT ON MY 2015 EVOQUE AT 24,280 MILES. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE RANGE ROVER DEALER WHERE I BOUGHT THE CAR. THE SERVICE ADVISOR SAID THE TECHNICIAN FOUND A TECHNICAL BULLETIN REGARDING "HALOGEN BULBS MAY HAVE BLOWN AT LOW TIME IN SERVICE". THIS IS DUE TO LOW RESISTANCE IN WIRING HARNESS. DEALER REPLACED THE WIRING HARNESS AND BULB UNDER WARRANTY. I BELIEVE THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE THAT THE MANUFACTURER WAS AWARE OF BUT DID NOT NOTIFY ME IN ADVANCE IN ORDER TO GET THE WIRING HARNESS REPLACED PRIOR TO THE BULB FAILURE.

KEYLESS START - SIGNAL BEING JAMMED BY CELL PHONE. IN ADDITION TO ANOTHER RECENT ISSUE OF PARKING BRAKE ENGAGING AT START AND WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. LAND ROVER CANNOT FIND ERROR CODES IN SOFTWARE AND IS NOT ABLE TO SEE OR RESOLVE THE ISSUE. LAND ROVER NOTED THAT OTHER PEOPLE HAVE HAD THE CELL PHONE JAMMING ISSUES. LAND ROVER IS AWARE BUT, THERE IS NO FIX AT THIS TIME. I'VE HAD THE VEHICLE FOR MORE THAN 2 YEARS AND THE PROBLEM HAS DEVELOPED OVER THE LAST 3-4 MONTHS TIME FRAME. I NEED HELP WITH FIGURING OUT THE PROBLEM - IF ITS AN APPLICATION ON MY PHONE OR RECENT APPLE SOFTWARE UPDATE. LOGICAL REASONING TELLS ME THAT THE ISSUE IS COMING FROM MY PHONE IF LAND ROVER CANNOT FIND A "TECHNICAL" ISSUE ON THEIR END. LAND ROVER SHOULD HAVE SECURITY THAT WOULD PREVENT THIS FROM HAPPENING THOUGH. IF THIS IS SOME TYPE OF HARASSMENT, I WANT TO GET TO THE BOTTOM OF IT. CAN YOU HELP ME?
