2014 LAND ROVER RANGE ROVER EVOQUE Complaints

Our 2014 Land Rover Evoque has a gear knob (gear shifter) located on the console. The gear knob changes by itself from drive, to neutral, to park. Dangerous! We identified this as part of a safety recall and took it to the dealer for repair. They updated the software and sent us on our way. After the same issue occurring several times, we took it back to the dealer at which time the stated we need a new transmission for over $17,000!!! The vehicle last showed only 35,000 miles! We have begged and pleaded our case with the dealer and repeatedly with Land Rover USA with no satisfactory resolution.

The powertrain just went out at 60k miles. I googled regarding this n found a lot of other complaints with the powertrain even a lawsuit.

THE TIMING CHAIN CONTINUES TO SLIP AND NEED TO REPLACED . LOOSES POWER, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CONTINUES TO COME ON. BEEN HAPPENING FOR ABOUT A YEAR.

WE BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE IN DEC. 2019. AFTER 10 MONTHS OF DRIVING ALL STABILITY CONTROL AND AWD FAILED WHILE DRIVING. COM TO FIND OUT THERE'S A RECALL ON TRANSMISSION WOULD HAVE NEVER KNEW WITHOUT INVESTIGATION. STILL NOT SURE WHO TO CONTACT. IT SEEMED TO BE A PROBLEM FOR PREVIOUS DRIVER ALSO EVIDENT IN OWNER'S MANUAL. WAS NEVER TOLD. I WAS DRIVING SOUNDED LIKE THE CAR WAS COMING APART W EVERY BUMP. ON I65 INTERSTATE WHEN IT HAPPENED

TURBO STOPPED WORKING FOR SECOND TIME AT 51,000 MILES, JUST OUT OF WARRANTY. THIS IS A KNOWN FAILURE AND SHOULD BE RECALLED.

IT IS KNOWN THE 2014 RANGE ROVER/EVOQUE HAS A TERRIBLE AND REPEATED PROBLEM WITH THE TURBO /SUPER CHARGER OVER BOOST CONDITION. IT COSTS THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TO REPAIR. THIS IS DUE TO A FAILED DESIGN WITH THE EXHAUST SYSTEM AS RANGE ROVER CAME UP WITH A NEW DESIGN AFTER 2014. *TR

REAR TAILGATE WILL NOT OPEN DOORS WILL NOT LOCK INTERIOR LIGHTING STAYS ON. CAN NOT LOCK VEHICLE AND CAN NOT DRIVE AT NIGHT WITH INTERIOR LIGHTS ON.

THE CAR STARTED LEAKING GAS. APPARENTLY THE FUEL MODULE AND FUEL PUMP BROKE. IT LEAKED WHILE RUNNING.

CAR ABRUPTLY SHIFTS OUT OF GEAR AND INTO NEUTRAL WHILE DRIVING. GEAR WILL NOT MOVE TO PROPER GEAR ONCE THIS OCCURS. CONTROL OF VEHICLE IS LOST.

RECALL P091 - OUR VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THIS RECALL HOWEVER IT SUFFERS FROM THE SAME DANGEROUS SAFETY ISSUE. THE VEHICLE SHUTS DOWN WHILE DRIVING, EVEN DOING 70MPH ON THE FREEWAY. IT APPEARS TO SHIFT INTO NEUTRAL, WITH THE DASH SAYING "GEARBOX FAULT" AND THE GEAR SHIFTER LOCKING UP. THE CAR NO LONGER REVS AND WE HAVE TO COAST TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. VERY DANGEROUS AND WE HAVE HAD SEVERAL NEAR MISSES, INCLUDING WITH A SEMI TRUCK ON THE FREEWAY. LANDROVER HAVE DONE FIVE (5) FAILED REPAIR ATTEMPTS VIA TWO SEPARATE DEALERSHIPS. THE PROBLEM REMAINS UNRESOLVED. WE HAVE REPLACED THE GEARBOX AND TURBO AT LANDROVERS SUGGESTION OF THIS BEING THE ISSUE; THE CAR WAS NOT FIXED BY THIS. WE BELIEVE THAT THE CAR SHOULD HAVE BEEN INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. THIS CAR IS A DEATHTRAP AND LANDROVER ARE REFUSING TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. WE HAVE 14 FAILED REPAIRS ON THIS VEHICLE IN TOTAL, WITH LANDROVER SUGGESTING WE PAY FOR A 15TH REPAIR AT A COST TO US OF ALMOST $30,000. THIS WOULD BE THE SIXTH (6TH) REPAIR ATTEMPT ON THIS SAME ISSUE ALONE. THE CAR IS RIDDLED WITH NUMEROUS OTHER ISSUES. WE HAVE MULTIPLE VIDEOS OF THIS ISSUE TAKEN OVER SEVERAL BREAK DOWNS DUE TO THE SAME ISSUE AS THE RECALL. THIS HAS HAPPENED OVER A DOZEN TIMES, USUALLY WHEN THE CAR IS IN MOTION, HOWEVER IT HAS HAPPENED UPON STARTING THE CAR, DRIVING SLOWLY ON STREETS, AND DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AT 70MPH. WE HAVE ALL OF THE REPAIR RECORDS DOCUMENTING THIS BUT THERE ARE TOO MANY TO UPLOAD HERE.
