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.

ON FEBRUARY 10, 2018, WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY, THE ERROR MESSAGE "GEARBOX FAULT" CAME ON. AT THE SAME TIME, THERE WAS A SUDDEN LOSS OF MOTIVE POWER ALTHOUGH THE GEAR SHIFT KNOB WAS STILL IN THE "S" POSITION. I SAFELY PULLED OVER AND SWITCHED OFF THE ENGINE. AFTER THE GEAR SHIFT KNOB HAD RETRACTED, I STARTED THE ENGINE AGAIN BY PRESSING THE START/STOP BUTTON. I WAS UNABLE TO MOVE THE GEAR SHIFT KNOB OUT OF THE "P" POSITION. AFTER REPEATING THIS PROCEDURE SEVERAL TIMES, I WAS FINALLY ABLE TO TURN THE GEAR SHIFT KNOB INTO "S" AGAIN, ALLOWING ME TO DRIVE AWAY. THE ALMOST EXACT SAME EVENT HAPPENED AGAIN ON FEBRUARY 11, 2018. I HAD TO PULL OVER AGAIN WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY. THE ONLY DIFFERENCE WAS THAT I COULD MOVE THE GEAR SHIFT KNOB INTO THE "S" POSITION ON THE FIRST TRY AFTER RESTARTING THE ENGINE. LATER THAT DAY, THE ERROR MESSAGE "GEARBOX FAULT" CAME ON AGAIN WHEN I STARTED THE ENGINE IN A PARKING GARAGE. AS HAPPENED THE DAY BEFORE, I NEEDED TO RESTART THE ENGINE REPEATEDLY IN ORDER TO TURN THE GEAR SHIFT KNOB OUT OF THE "P" POSITION (I HAVE FILMED THIS INCIDENT WITH MY PHONE; FILE SIZE TOO BIG TO UPLOAD). FURTHERMORE, I ENCOUNTERED THE SAME PROBLEM IN DECEMBER 2016 AND JANUARY 2017 WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY ROADS. IN BOTH CASES, I BROUGHT MY VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIR AND INFORMED THE SERVICE ADVISOR OF THE PROBLEM. HOWEVER, THE PROBLEM APPARENTLY STILL PERSISTS AND HAS SO FAR HAPPENED A TOTAL OF 5 TIMES.

ENGINE
WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE I EXPERIENCED A LOSS IN ENGINE POWER AND IT SEEMED TO BE AT A VERY HIGH RPM FOR A LOW SPEED. THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT GO OVER 30MPH AND HAD TO BE DRIVEN TO THE SHOP. IT WAS DIAGNOSED AS A BLOWN TURBO AND THE TURBO HAD TO BE REPLACE. ABOUT A MONTH LATER THE ENGINE NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. I BELIEVE A DIRECT CORRULATION BETWEEN THE TURBO AND ENGINE.

WHILE DRIVING MY VEHICLE IT SHUTDOWN AND I ROLLED TO A STOP ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. IT WOULD NOT START BACK UP AND HAD TO BE TOWED TO THE DEALER. I WAS TOLD IT MAY BE A BLOWN MOTOR BUT AFTER ADDITIONAL DIAGNOSIS IT WAS THE DETERMINED TO BE THAT THE TIMING CHAIN BROKE AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED WITH THE TENSIONER. THE VEHICLE HAS ONLY 83,000 MILES ON IT.

THIS IS MY FIRST RANGE ROVER AND WAS VERY EXCITED ABOUT THE STYLE AND LOOK OF MY CAR.. I'VE OWNED MANY OTHER CAR MODELS, BUT THIS HAS BY FAR BEEN MY FAVORITE. HOWEVER, I HAVE NEVER HAD THE COLORING ON THE CAR BRAND FADE. THE "R" ON RANGE ROVER, IN THE FRONT, IS ALMOST COMPLETELY BLACK. MY CAR IS STILL FAIRLY NEW AND THIS DISCOLORATION MAKES IT LOOK TACKY. WHAT CAN BE DONE ABOUT THIS? THIS IS A LUXURY CAR AND SHOULD NOT TARNISH THIS QUICKLY. IT'S THE NAME, SHOULDN'T IT REPRESENT QUALITY?

THE CAR WENT INTO NEUTRAL WHILE DRIVING, SHOWING A GEAR BOX FAILURE WARNING. WE STOPPED THE CAR AND TURNED OFF THE ENGINE. AFTER TURNING OFF THE ENGINE, AND RESTARTING AFTER A SEVERAL MINUTE WAIT, WE RESUMED DRIVING AND THE VEHICLE CAME TO A SUDDEN SCREECHING HALT AND WOULD NOT MOVE. THE ERROR MESSAGE AGAIN STATED GEAR BOX FAILURE. WE HAD THE CAR TOWED TO THE DEALER.

POWER TRAIN
WHILE ATTEMPTING TO ENTER HIGHWAY FROM STREET TO HIGHWAY SPEEDS, THE EVOQUE 2014 WOULD NOT ACCELERATE BUT RATHER REV AT VERY HIGH RPMS FOR ABOUT 15 SECONDS AND THEN JARRINGLY SLIP INTO NEXT GEAR. THIS OCCURRED ON 6 OCCASIONS, ALWAYS ON THE HIGHWAY AND OFTEN AS CARS AND TRUCKS RAPIDLY APPROACHED AND HAD TO SLOW BEHIND ME OR SWERVE TO FREE LANES. I WAS TOLD SEVERAL TIMES BY THE DEALER THAT THIS WAS LIKELY A SOFTWARE PROBLEM AND IN AN EMAIL: "A COUPLE OF WEEKS AFTER INSTALLING THE LATEST SOFTWARE FOR YOUR TRANSMISSION, THE FACTORY HAS REQUESTED ALL DEALERS TO SUSPEND THE INSTALLATION OF THE SOFTWARE. THEY HAVE NOT GONE INTO DETAIL ON WHY BUT I ASSUME THE SOFTWARE HAS NOT COMPLETELY OR ONLY PARTIALLY CORRECTED THE INTENDED REPAIRS" THIS HAS ME VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THE RELIABILITY AND SAFETY OF THE VEHICLE. *TR
