2013 LAND ROVER RANGE ROVER EVOQUE Complaints

The front bumper is cracking on the corners. Also found a forum where others are also experiencing this https://www.rangerovers.net/threads/front-bumper-cracked-no-impact.338578/

There is a gasoline leak which could be seen on the right rear underside of my vehicle (there is an exposed tank-like looking component saturated with gasoline) which can be easily ignited and cause a fire whether the car is running or parked. My vehicle is with the dealer at the moment being looked at. The dealer told me a flange connected to the fuel system and fuel pump was cracked (for no apparent reason, it just failed) which causes the leak. The dealer said this is a known problem on the range rover sport and LR4 models of certain year span and a recall is currently going on for those models BUT NOT on my model vehicle. I noticed smell of gasoline and saw the leak some time in January 2022. According to my research on NHTSA website there is another vehicle of this same model located in Apopka Florida with the same problem as mine. I am concerned that land rover may have used the same component or parts provider on the 2013 Evoque (for the flange and fuel pump) as they did for the range rover sport and LR4 models. Please look into this and hopefully any serious accident can be avoided.

The contact's granddaughter owns a 2013 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque. The contact stated that while her granddaughter was driving at an undisclosed speed, the check engine warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer and diagnosed that the turbocharger, intake, exhaust variable valve timing (VVT), timing chain, and all other supporting parts needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 65,000. Consumer stated this time, dealer stated that Turbocharger, internal mechanical failure, intake and exhaust VVTs, Timing Chain, Guides, Tensioner and all other supporting parts (Intake VVT mechanical failure) needed replacement – total for this estimate is $9,952.98!!!!!

Exterior and interior began to smell of gasoline, upon investigation by accessing the low pressure fuel pump located under the rear seat, it was determined the fuel pump developed hairline cracks allowing fuel to leak onto the undercarriage of the vehicle.

Similar to those issues identified in Open Investigation EA 20-001, I was driving two boy scouts to camp when my vehicle's brakes no longer worked. The brake pedal was firm and vehicle would not slow down almost resulting in a catastrophic crash on Interstate 95. Was able to veer off the road into the shoulder and up a ramp with a hill to slow down to safety. Vehicle is currently at dealer for diagnostics and repair.

2013 Range Rover Evoque. Consumer writes in regards to electrical issues. THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED SOFTWARE ISSUES, WIRING FAILURES, AND SEAT OCCUPATION ISSUES. THE CONSUMER INTENDED TO SELL THE VEHICLE.

the windshield is getting microscratches in it and they seem to be on the inside of the glass they are getting worse and are impedeing me seeing.

WAS DRIVING AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THERE WAS A LOUD WIND SOUND AND THEN ALL ENGINE POWER WAS LOST, IT ALSO WOULDN'T SHIFT BECAUSE OF THE LOSS OF ENGINE POWER. BUT I HAD TO AT LEAST MAKE IT HOME AND ON MY WAY HOME I WAS ON THE BYPASS AND I COULDN'T GET THE CAR TO GO ABOVE 65. IT WAS DEFINITELY STRUGGLING. I WENT TO SHOP AND GOT DIAGNOSED AND THEY CAME TO THE CONCLUSION THAT THE TURBO HAS GONE OUT AND THAT HAS BEEN A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE EVOQUE. SO NOW IT'S A HEFTY REPAIR DUE TO FAULTY MANUFACTURING OF THE TURBOCHARGER. I LOOKED IT UP AND IT SEEMS THAT MANY EVOQUE OWNERS HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE WITH THEIR TURBOS GOING OUT

VEHICLE IS LEAKING POWER STEERING FLUID WHICH CAN CAUSE OUT OF CONTROL ACCIDENTS LEADING TO LOSS OF LIFE. VEHICLE WAS PARKED ON MY DRIVEWAY AND I NOTICED SPOTS OF STAINS WHEN FURTHER INSPECT I NOTICE IT WAS POWER STEERING FLUID SWEATING COMING FROM THE POWER STEERING HOSE AT THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE. VEHICLE IS PARKED ON MY DRIVEWAY I HAVE ANOTHER VEHICLE THAT I'M USING IN THE MEANWHILE.
