CAR SWITCHING INTO NEUTRAL RANDOMLY AND BRAKES DO NOT ENGAGE IMMEDIATELY/LAG IN RESPONSE AFTER ENGAGING BRAKE PEDAL.

THE ENGINE WAS RUNNING AND THE VEHICLE WAS IN PARK AND I EXITED THE VEHICLE. I WENT INSIDE AN ADJACENT BUILDING FOR APPROXIMATELY 1 MINUTE. I RETURNED TO THE VEHICLE AND OPENED THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE DOOR. I PICKED UP MY KEY FOB AND PRESSED THE IGNITION BUTTON TO TURN OFF THE ENGINE. WHEN THE ENGINE TURNED OFF THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO ROLL AWAY AND STRUCK A PARKED CAR AND PINNED ME BETWEEN THE VEHICLE AND THE OPENED PASSENGER SIDE DOOR. MY HAND WAS PRESSED BETWEEN THE CAR DOOR AND A LIGHT POLE IN THE PARKING LOT. THE TOW TRUCK DRIVER SAT IN THE DRIVER'S SEAT AND PRESSED THE ENGINE BUTTON AND THE GEAR SHIFTER EMERGED AND WAS IN THE PARK POSITION. THE TOW TRUCK DRIVER THEN SHIFTED THE VEHICLE TO NEUTRAL AND THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT MOVE. THE PARKING BRAKE CONTINUED TO ENGAGE AND THE TIRES WOULD NOT ROLL FREELY.

I PARKED MY CAR AT THE DOG PARK AND WAS THERE FOR ABOUT 30 MINUTES. WHEN I CAME OUT MY CAR WAS ENGULFED IN FLAMES. TOTAL LOSS BY THE TIME THE FIREFIGHTERS WERE DONE FIGHTING THE BLAZE. .

JUST PURCHASED MY CAR IN JULY 2018. WAS A PREVIOUS LEASED CAR WITH REGUIAR MAINTENANCE. I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND MY CAR SUDDENLY WOULD NOT SHIFT GEARS NO PICKUP IN THE CAR. LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO PULL TO SIDE OF THE ROAD TO PREVENT AN ACCIDENT AND TURN CAR OFF AND BACK ON AGAIN. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. WAS ABLE TO DRIVE TO AN AUTHORIZED LAND ROVER DEALER TO WHICH THEY STATE TURBOCHARGER HAS AN INTERNAL DEFECT AND A COMMON PROBLEM WITH MY MAKE AND MODEL CAR.

THE TURBO FAILED AT 42000 MILES, WAS REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY BY RANGE ROVER OF PORTLAND. THE TURBO HAS FAILED AGAIN AT 84000 MILES. BOTH FAILURES OCCURRED WHILE DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY PASSING ANOTHER VEHICLE AT APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH. I HAVE BEEN ADVISED BY AN AUTHORIZED RANGE ROVER REPAIRMAN. MESSER AUTOWERKS OF KENNEWICK, WA. THAT THE TURBOS FOR THE EVOQUE AND LR2 HAVE A DESIGN FLAW, THERE IS AN INTERNAL COMPONENT THAT BREAKS OFF AND CAUSES THE TURBO TO FAIL. I RESEARCHED WITH YOUR WEBSITE AND RANGE ROVER THERE IS NO RECALL IN PLACE FOR MY MODEL AN YEAR

((((EXACT SAME STORY AS ANOTHER REPORT FILED: NHTSA ID NUMBER:11076170))) . I GOT TO A RED LIGHT, TURNED GREEN I GO, GET UP TO 25MPH, CAR CUTS OUT (COMPLETE LOSS OF POWER). *MY ENGINE LIGHT IS NOW ON. I GET THE CAR TO START I IMMEDIATELY TURN AROUND TO GET HOME. * MY CAR LOOSES ALL POWER AND SHUTS OFF IN THE FREEWAY HOME. * I FINALLY GET THE VEHICLE HOME, AND MY HUSBAND RAN DIAGNOSTICS. - THE COMPUTER IS SAYING IT IS THE VARIABLE VALVE TIMING CONTROL SOLENOID ISSUE. * MY CAR ONLY HAS @80,000 MILES ON IT, AND SHOULD NOT HAVE THIS ISSUE. . **THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN. * I HAVEN'T CONTACTED CORPORATE JAGUAR LAND ROVER YET. THIS SEEMS TO BE A VERY BIG REOCCURRING ISSUE, WITH THIS YEAR/MAKE/MODEL, AND IT SEEMS LIKE LAND ROVER IS DOING NOTHING ABOUT IT. . LOOKS LIKE IT MAY BE TIME TO LAWYER UP, AND SET UP A CLASS ACTION! . SEMPER FIDELIS

HEADLIGHT HAS GONE OUT 5 TIMES IN 73,000 MILES. THEY HAVE DISCOVERED IT WAS IMPROPERLY GROUNDED. THE FREQUENCY OF THE ISSUE HAS CREATED A SAFETY AND LEGAL ISSUE FOR DRIVING AT DUSK AND AFTER AS WELL AS IN BAD WEATHER.

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.

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.
