2016 LAND ROVER RANGE ROVER Complaints

FRONT BUMPER IS CRACKING AND SLOWLY BREAKING OFF AT THE FENDER. LOOKED UP THE PROBLEM ONLINE AND IT IS VERY COMMON AND IS A DESIGN FLAW. I BELIEVE IT IS DUE TO THE HEAT THE LIGHT GIVES OFF. THIS STARTED 2 WEEKS AGO AND THE CRACK IS GETTING BIGGER. NEVER BEEN IN A ACCIDENT DIDN'T HIT ANYTHING. I TALKED TO ANOTHER EVOQUE OWNER AND HE TOLD ME IF THE CRACK REACHES THE BOTTOM OF THE FENDER IT WILL FALL OFF AND COULD POSSIBLY HIT SOMEONE WHILE DRIVING.

WHEN IT RAINS THE RAIN COMES THROUGH THE TOP OF THE WINDSHIELD AND POURS DOWN ON THE STEERING WHEEL.

GOOD MORNING NHTSA, I AM WRITING TO YOU IN THE REQUEST OF THE ASSISTANCE OF HELP TO ASK RANGE ROVER CORPORATION TO TAKE ACTION ON RECALLING FAULTY TRANSMISSION ON VEHICLES SUCH LIKE THE ONE THAT I JUST PURCHASED FEBRUARY 11, 2020, AT MERCEDES BENZ OF PLEASANTON, CA (RANGE ROVER EVOQUE 2016) THAT ALMOST CAUSE AN ACCIDENT IN THE FREEWAY WHERE I LOST CONTROL IN ACCELERATION OR DECELERATION. I AM VERY THANKFUL THAT I MANEUVER TO DRIVE TO THE EMERGENCY ROAD SAVING MY FAMILY THAT COULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT AND ENDANGERED THE LIVES OF OTHER PEOPLE AND MY FAMILY. IT WAS MAY 30TH, 2020 WHEN THE CAR MALFUNCTION IN THE I-80 FREEWAY. MY CAR WAS TOWED FOR SERVICE AT JAGUAR RANGE ROVER IN SACRAMENTO FOR REPAIR. MY WARRANTY DECLINED THE CLAIM DUE TO BULLETIN ISSUED CLAIMING THAT THERE IS A RECALL. I AM THANKFUL THAT NO ACCIDENT HAPPENED TO ME AND MY FAMILY, BUT NOW I AM FACING A BILL OF $3792.54 FROM A FAULTY TRANSMISSION.. RANGE ROVER CORP TOLD ME THAT THIS CAR WAS ALSO BEEN REPAIRED AT ANOTHER RANGE ROVER IN LIVERMORE FOR THE TRANSMISSION ISSUE THAT WAS REPAIRED SO MANY TIMES, IF THERE WERE A RECALL THEN THOSE SHOULD HAVE BEEN FIXED. THE FRUSTRATION OF PAYING AN EXPENSIVE CAR PLUS PAYING THE REPAIR THAT WAS NOT MY FAULT IS UNFAIR AND STILL NOT AT 100% OF THE CAR'S RELIABILITY THAT IS STILL LINGERING IN MY HEAD. I AM REQUESTING YOUR KIND ASSISTANCE AND GUIDANCE TO MAKE RANGE ROVER CORPORATION REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION AND GEARBOX AT THEIR COST. THE FAULTY TRANSMISSION THAT BEEN REPEATEDLY OCCURRING IN THIS VEHICLE IS DANGEROUS! MY THOUGHTS ARE THIS CAR IS CONSIDERED A LEMON CAR. THE RANGE ROVER LIVERMORE SHOULD ALSO ACKNOWLEDGE THE FAILURE OF THEIR SERVICE THAT ALMOST CAUSE AN ACCIDENT SHOULD BE ALSO REPRIMANDED OF THEIR ACTION. THANK YOU FOR READING MY COMPLAINT AND HOPING TO HEAR FROM YOU. SINCERELY, [XXX] 3 ATTACHMENTS INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *CC *TR

I HAVE OWNED THIS VEHICLE LESS THAN ONE YEAR, AND THE TIRES ON THIS VEHICLE ARE ALL CRACKING ON THE OUTSIDE WALLS OF THEM. I REALIZE THAT THESE TIRES MAY HAVE WEAR TO THEM; HOWEVER, THIS TO ME IS CONSIDERED A SAFETY ISSUE ESPECIALLY IF THEY'RE TO BE OF ANY TYPE OF QUALITY FROM THE MANUFACTURER. I AM CONCERNED REGARDING THE QUALITY OF TIRE, AND HOW THESE TIRES ARE NOW ALL CRACKING AROUND THE SIDEWALLS OF THEM. *TR

WATER IS LEAKING THROUGH THE FRONT WINDSHIELD. WHEN DRIVING IT AFFECTS THE VISIBILITY AS THE WATER IS GETTING INSIDE THE CAR. *TR

INTERESTED IN BUYING THIS CAR USED FROM ELLIOT BAY AUTO BROKERS THIS ISSUE HAS NOT BEEN RESOLVED? SHOULD THEY FIX THIS BEFORE I MAKE AN OFFER?

ENGINE OIL IS LEAKING FROM TURBO DIRECTLY ONTO EXHAUST. THIS HAS BEEN NOTICED SINCE THE VEHICLE HAD 15000 MILES. WHEN TRAVELING AND COME TO COMPLETE STOP, STRONG OIL BURNING SMELL IS IS NOTICED INSIDE THE CAR AND OUTSIDE THE CAR, NO FLAMES HAVE BEEN SEEN YET. THE VEHICLE HAS ABOUT 24000 MILES AND IT IS GETTING A LOT WORSE. HIGH POTENTIAL OF FIRE.

I WAS STOPPED AT A LIGHT WITH MY CAR IN DRIVE AND FOOT ON THE BRAKE WHEN THE DASHBOARD STARTED ALERTING ME THAT I WAS IN THE WRONG GEAR. I LOOKED DOWN AT THE SHIFT NOB AND THE D WAS FLASHING ON AND OFF AS WELL AS IN THE DASHBOARD. I PUT IT IN PARK AND BACK TO DRIVE AND THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN AND I PRESSED THE GAS. INSTEAD OF GOING FORWARD THE CARS WENT BACKWARDS WHILE IN THE DRIVE GEAR. I ALMOST HIT THE CAR BEHIND ME AND ALMOST GOT HIT WITH ALL OF THE CARS COMING FULL FORCE SINCE THE LIGHT WAS GREEN. I WAS IN THE DRIVE GEAR AND COULDN'T GO FOWARD THE CAR KEPT GOING BACKWARDS. IT WAS REALLY SCARRY AND YOUR CAR SHOULD NOT GO IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION OF WHAT YOU ARE SELECTING IN YOUR GEAR. I TOOK IT IN TO THE DEALER BUT THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE AND SHOULD BE CORRECTED IMMEDIATELY. I DON'T HAVE A PHOTO BUT I HAVE A VIDEO THAT I CAN EMAIL IN.

WHEN I TURNED MY CAR ON IN THE MORNING THE STEREO WAS NOT WORKING AND YOU COULD HEAR CRACKLING. I THEN WAS DROPPING MY SON OFF AT SCHOOL AND WE WERE GOING SLOW BECAUSE WE WERE IN THE SCHOOL ZONE.MAYBE 5-10 MPH I SMELLED SMOKE AND THEN LOOKED BACK AND SAW SMOKE COMING FROM INSIDE THE CAR WHERE THE READING LIGHT IS IN THE BACK. I HAD TO PARK MY TRUCK AT MY DADS CAR BECAUSE I DID NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING IT. I GOOGLED AND FOUND THAT A LOT OF RANGE ROVER HAVE A FAULTY SUNROOF TO WHERE WATER LEAKS CAUSING ELECTRICAL DAMAGE. THIS WAS ALSO WHAT THE RANGE ROVER SPECIALIST TOLD ME HE HAS SEEN HAPPEN. MY TRUCK MODEL HOWEVER HAS YET TO BE RECALLED. BUT THERE ARE OTHER MODELS THAT HAVE BEEN RECALLED FOR THIS SUNROOF ISSUE. IT IS CLEARLY SOMETHING LAND ROVER VEHICLES HAVE AN ISSUE WITH. I AM OUT OF WARRANTY JUST A MONTH AGO. WHEN I WENT YESTERDAY TO MY DADS HOUSE TO GET SOMETHING OUT OF MY TRUCK IT WAS COVERED IN MOLD. THIS IS BECAUSE THERE IS SO MUCH WATER THAT SEEPED THROUGH THE SIDES OF THE CAR. YOU CAN TELL BECAUSE THE MOLD WAS COMING FROM THE SEATBELT HOLES AND SUCH.
