2013 LAND ROVER RANGE ROVER EVOQUE Complaints

THE FRONT WINDSHIELD IS LOOSE AND LEAKS EXTREME TOOK IT TO A WINDSHIELD PROFESSIONAL AND SAID IT WAS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT BECAUSE THEY HAD MANY CLIENT WITH SAME PROBLEM. TOOK IT TO DEALER AND ALSO SAID CLIENTS WITH SAME PROBLEM. SADLY WHEN I CONTACTED CORPORATE THEY SAID THEY COULDN'T HELP. STANDING. JUST BOUGHT CAR FROM INDIVIDUAL. FOTO SHOWS PLASTIC BAG I HAD TO PUT FOR PROTECTION. WET ALL DASHBOARD STEERING AND LEATHER SEAT. *TR

PASSENGER SIDE SRS WARNING LIGHT. PASSENGER SEAT MODULE AND OCCUPANT SEAT SENSOR MODULE FAULT/ FAILED. ISSUE OCCURRED AND WAS CONSISTENT BOTH WHEN CAR WAS IN MOTION AND WHEN STATIONARY.

WHILE DRIVING MY CAR ON A ROAD AND ATTEMPTING TO MERGE ONTO A HIGHWAY (I10) IT LOST THE ABILITY TO ACCELERATE. THE VEHICLE WOULD THEN NOT SHIFT ABOVE 3RD GEAR (AUTOMATIC). WHEN I PLACED IT MANUALLY INTO HIGHER GEARS IT TRIED TO AUTOMATICALLY DOWNSHIFT. I WAS UNABLE TO ACCELERATE TO MERGE ONTO THE HIGHWAY. I HAD TO PLACE ON MY FOUR WAYS AND MAKE AN EMERGENCY STOP TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT CAUSING A VERY UNSAFE DRIVING SITUATION. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THAT THE TURBO COMPONENT HAD FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. AFTER IT WAS REPLACED I ASKED WHAT HAD CAUSED THE FAILURE AND THEY SAID THAT NOTHING I DID CAUSED IT. IT IS APPARENTLY A COMMON ISSUE FOR THE TURBO COMPONENT TO FAIL IN THE 2012-2014 MODELS. I WAS NOT WARNED ABOUT THIS SAFETY ISSUE AND THEY SAID IT IS CAUSED BY A KNOWN MECHANICAL ISSUE. THEY ALSO SAID THE REPLACED THE TURBO COMPONENT WITH AN ALTERNATE PART NUMBER BECAUSE THE ONE ORIGINALLY IN MY VEHICLE FAILS SO OFTEN THEY NO LONGER USE IT. THIS OCCURS OFTEN ENOUGH THEY ALREADY HAD THE PART IN STOCK. I THINK THEY SHOULD BE FORCED TO RECALL THESE FAULTY TURBO PARTS. I HAVE THE SERVICE RECORD IF NEEDED.

76K MILES AND TURBO CHARGER NEEDS REPLACED. $3,454.00. RIDICULOUS. NO TEPAIR SHOULD BE THIS MUCH. MANY ONLINE COMPLAINTS AT SIMILAR MILES. FOR A 4 CYLINDER ENGINE THIS IS HORRIBLE! NOTICED SLOW ACCELERATION WHEN ATTEMPTING TO GO UP HILLS.

SOUNDS LIKE THEY ARE VERY AWARE OR LTB00795NAS1. A TECHNICAL BULLETIN INVOLVING THE "ACTIVE ON DEMAND COUPLING OIL PUMP" THAT JUST HAPPENS TO MESS UP ON SPECIFIC CARS FROM A SPECIFIC PLANT AT WITH NO FAULT TO THE DRIVER, YET THIS IS NOT A RECALL?? I CALLED LR USA AND THE REPRESENTATIVE SAID IT DID NOT MEET THE STANDARDS OF A RECALL, WHATEVER THAT MEANS.

UPON STARTING THE ENGINE IN THE GARAGE WITH THE HEAT SYSTEM ON THE EXHAUST FROM THE ENGINE ENTERS THE CABIN OF THE CAR WITH CARBON MONOXIDE FUMES. SMELL IS SICKENING, POISONOUS, AND DANGEROUS. THE CAUSE AS PER MY REPAIRMAN: THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD HAS A FAULTY DESIGN. THE PIECES ARE WELDED, THE WELDING FAILS, A CRACK ALLOWS CARBON MONOXIDE TO LEAK INTO THE CABIN OF THE VEHICLE. THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD AND TURBO CHARGER ARE ONE PIECE. REPAIR COSTS OVER $3000. THE CAR HAS 44,000 MILES ON IT. THE NEWLY INSTALLED EXHAUST MANIFOLD/TURBO CHARGER IS THE SAME DESIGN THAT FAILED, LAND ROVER HASN'T MADE ANY CHANGES. IT'S LIKELY THIS NEW PART WILL FAIL AS WELL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 LAND ROVER RANGE ROVER EVOQUE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO STATED THAT THERE WAS A LOSS OF COMMUNICATION WITH THE RESTRAINT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO LAND ROVER RICHMOND (11670 MIDLOTHIAN TURNPIKE, 23113, VA, (866) 223-3943) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE SENSOR AND PASSENGER SIDE CUSHION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED.

TAKATA RECALL, AIRBAG SENSOR SENDING SIGNAL WHEN CAR IS STARTED THAT AIRBAG MAY NOT DEPLOY IN THE EVENT OF A CAR CRASH.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 LAND ROVER RANGE ROVER EVOQUE. WHILE DRIVING DOWN A HILL AT APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH, THE BRAKING SYSTEM MALFUNCTIONED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BRAKE PEDAL BECAME VERY STIFF WHEN DEPRESSED AND THE VEHICLE FAILED TO STOP. THE DRIVER HAD TO USE THE EMERGENCY BRAKE TO STOP THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE LOCAL DEALER (LAND ROVER CHANTILLY, 4120 AUTO PARK CIR, CHANTILLY, VA 20151) AND THE BRAKE VENT BOOSTER WAS REPLACED. AFTER RETRIEVING THE VEHICLE, THE FAILURE RECURRED WHILE DRIVING ON A LEVEL SURFACE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED BACK TO THE DEALER WHO REPLACED THE BRAKE BOOSTER AND BRAKE VALVES, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED WHILE DRIVING IN REVERSE ON AN INCLINE. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN BACK TO THE DEALER AND THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS OPERATING NORMALLY AND THERE WAS NO FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 56,000.
