ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, INTERIOR LIGHTING
THE INTERIOR LIGHTS CONSISTENTLY SWITCH ON AND OFF WHILE DRIVING. PURCHASED THE VEHICLE JANUARY 2015. BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO THE LAND ROVER DEALERSHIP 3 TIMES IN THE PAST YEAR AND A HALF AND WAS CONTINUOUSLY TOLD THE TECHNICIAN CANNOT REPLICATE THE ISSUE. I EVEN WENT SO FAR IS TO RECORD THE LIGHTS SWITCHING IN AND OFF ON MY CELLPHONE WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION. *TR

POWER TRAIN
DRIVING ON THE MAIN HWY WHEN I NOTICED THAT A INDICATED LIGHT APPEARED ON THE DASHBOARD "TRANSMISSION FAULT TRACTION REDUCED". THE CAR DIDN'T HANDLE ANY DIFFERENT SO I IMMEDIATELY CONTACTED THE DEALER VIA PHONE. SPOKE TO THE SERVICE ADVISER WHO STATED TO PULL OFF THE ROAD, TURN OFF THE MOTOR AND AFTER A FEW MINS RESTART IT AND THAT SHOULD CLEAR THE FAULT. IF NOT, JUST MAKE AN APPT FOR SERVICE. UNFORTUNATELY THE PROBLEM WAS NOT CLEARED USING THE ABOVE RESTARTING PROCEDURE. UPON ARRIVING AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR THE NEXT AVAILABLE APPT 5 DAYS LATER, THE BATTERY WAS SUPPOSEDLY DEAD AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED ACCORDING TO THEM BECAUSE THEY COULD NOT START THE VEHICLE. WHICH IS STRANGE SINCE PRIOR TO THAT I HAD NO WARNING LIGHTS OF ANY BATTERY PROBLEMS COME ON. A DAY LATER, THE ADVISER CALLED ME AGAIN AND STATED THAT NOT ONLY DID I HAVE A DEAD BATTERY BUT THE POWER PUMP DIFFERENTIAL TO THE TRANSMISSION WAS FOUND TO BE FAULTY AND WOULD BE REPLACED. THIS IS A 3YR OLD CAR WITH LESS THAN 32K MILES ON IT WITH MOSTLY HWY DRIVING. *TR

ENGINE
I TOOK MY CAR IN TO THE LAND ROVER SERVICE DEPT WHERE I PURCHASED MY VEHICLE BECAUSE I SMELLED EXHAUST THROUGH THE VENTS AND I WAS GETTING HEADACHES EVERY TIME I DROVE. ON MY FIRST VISIT THEY TOLD ME THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG. AFTER A MONTH OF CONTINUED EXHAUST ISSUES I TOOK IT TO A DIFFERENT LAND ROVER SERVICE DEPT AND THEY EVENTUALLY FOUND A HAIRLINE FRACTURE IN THE TURBO. THEY QUOTED ME $6,500 FOR THE REPAIR AND ADVISED ME THAT IT WAS NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY. THEY TOLD ME TO SIMPLY RUN MY AIR/HEATER ON MANUAL VERSUS AUTOMATIC AND DRIVE WITH A WINDOW CRACKED. I AM CURRENTLY TRYING TO FIND SOMEONE THAT WILL WORK ON MY EVOQUE THAT COULD POSSIBLY WELD THE FRACTURE RATHER THAN REPLACING THE ENTIRE SYSTEM BUT HAVING DIFFICULTY. *TR

STEERING
I HAVE TAKEN MY CAR BACK TO THE LAND ROVER DEALER AS ALWAYS. AGAIN THE STEERING OF THIS AUTOMOBILE IS HAVING A CRACKLING SOUND WHEN TURNED. THE CRACKLING SOUND IS IN BOTH DIRECTIONS WHEN YOU TURN THE STEERING. THE SOUND IS AUDIBLE (CAPABLE OF BEING HEARD) WHEN THE CAR IS IN A STATIC POSITION OR AT VERY SLOW SPEED AND THE STEERING IS TURNED IN EITHER DIRECTION. THE CAR HAS BEEN AT THE LAND ROVER DEALER MORE THAN SEVEN TIMES. AND THEY STILL CAN NOT FIX IT. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT, WHEN LIGHT TURNED GREEN, I PRESSED THE ACCELERATOR, HOWEVER THE CAR WOULD ONLY ROLL NOT ACCELERATE, ENGINE HAD NO RESPONSE WHATSOEVER, IN SOME CASES THE REV ACTUALLY DROPPED INSTEAD OF GOING UP, WHICH WAS BIZZARE. AFTER PRESSING THE ACCELERATOR FOR ABOUT 5 SECONDS THE CAR WILL SUDDENLY ACCELERATE TO 3000 RPM AND OVER AND TAKE OFF, THEN WHEN I STOP AGAIN, SAME THING HAPPENS. IT KEPT ON RECURRING EVERYTIME I STOP. UPHILL WAS EVEN MORE DIFFICULT TO GET THE CAR GOING. HOWEVER, I DID GET IT FIXED BY UPDATING THE ENGINE SOFTWARE AT THE DEALER. THERE SHOULD BE AN ANNOUNCED RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM, IT IS SCARY.

SUSPENSION
I HAVE PURCHASED A BRAND NEW 2012 LAND ROVER, RANGE ROVER EVOQUE ON SEPTEMBER 25, 2012. WHEN I GET HOME WITH MY NEW CAR I REALIZED THAT THE ENTERTAINMENT SYSTEM DOESN'T WORK AND THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE SUSPENSION SYSTEM(THE DEALER TOLD ME THIS). WHEN I WAS APPLYING THE ACCELERATOR I HEAR NOISE FROM THE CAR AND ALSO WHEN I MAKE TURNS. IT IS A BRAND NEW CAR WITH ONLY 41 MILES WHEN I BROUGHT IT. I HAVE ONLY DROVE IT FOR HUNDRED SOMETHING MILES AND HAVEN'T FILL THE GAS TANK YET. THERE WERE A LOTS OF PROBLEM WITH THIS CAR. I CAN'T BELIEVE IT. *TR

ENGINE, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, POWER TRAIN
WHILE DRIVING IN RAINY WEATHER FOR APPROXIMATELY ONE HOUR, I WENT TO ACCELERATE TO PASS A CAR AND THERE WAS A LOSS OF POWER, AMBER WANING LIGHT CAME ON, ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND I COULD NOT GO FASTER THAN 35 MPH. THIS COULD HAVE CAUSED A SERIOUS ACCIDENT BUT I WAS ABLE TO SLOW DOWN ENOUGH TO GET BACK IN THE SLOW LANE. CAR HAD TO BE TOWED TO DEALER THE NEXT DAY. THE LONER EVOQUE THEY GAVE ME DID THE SAME THING IN RAINY WEATHER ON SEPTEMBER 16, 2012. *TR

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
ON JULY 28, 2012 MY MOTHER AND I WERE DRIVING TO NEW ENGLAND FROM MARYLAND THROUGH INTERMITTENT THUNDERSTORMS AT SPEEDS ABOVE 65 MILES PER HOUR. I ATTEMPTED TO ACCELERATE TO PASS A VEHICLE WHEN THE ENGINE BEGAN TO LOSE POWER AND TOOK OVER 30 SECONDS TO REACH 40 MILES PER HOUR. I OBSERVED THE SPEED WARNING LIGHT AND THE AMBER ?CHECK ENGINE? LIGHT COME ON. I TRIED TO ACCELERATE TO PULL OFF OF THE ROAD BUT COULD ONLY DRIVE APPROXIMATELY 35-40 MILES PER HOUR UNTIL THE NEXT EXIT WHICH WAS OVER 2 MILES AHEAD (AS CARS UNSAFELY HAD TO SUDDENLY STOP BEHIND ME ON I-95 AS I MANEUVERED BACK INTO THE RIGHT TRAVEL LANE) SINCE THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT GO ANY FASTER. ONCE OFF OF THE ROAD (THE RAIN HAD CEASED) I TURNED OFF THE VEHICLE AND REMOVED THE 74 MILE AN HOUR SPEED WARNING AND THE AMBER ?CHECK ENGINE? LAMP WENT OFF AFTER TEN MINUTES OF DRIVING. I RESUMED MY TRIP THROUGH THE ON-AND-OFF-AGAIN RAIN FOR ANOTHER THREE HOURS AND DID NOT ATTEMPT TO ACCELERATE AGAIN. I LATER TOLD MY HUSBAND THAT I THOUGHT THAT THE SUDDEN SLOW ENGINE ACCELERATION AND SPEED IMPEDIMENT WAS A FUNCTION OF THE SPEED WARNING AND ASSUMED THAT TO BE THE CAUSE OF THE LACK OF SPEED AND ABILITY TO ACCELERATE. NEEDLESS TO SAY THIS WAS A FRIGHTENING EXPERIENCE FOR ME AND MY MOTHER. ON AUGUST 25TH MY HUSBAND AND I WERE DRIVING FOR OVER AN HOUR IN HEAVY RAIN AND IT HAPPENED AGAIN. UNLIKE MY EXPERIENCE, A WARNING MESSAGE THAT SAID ?RESTRICTED PERFORMANCE? CAME UP ON THE DASHBOARD AND THE AMBER CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON (THERE WAS ALSO AN AMBER HAZARD SIGNAL ON THE DASHBOARD). WHEN WE PULLED OVER, WE LOOKED IN THE OWNER?S MANUAL UNDER THE FOLLOWING WORDS: ?PERFORMANCE, ENGINE, AND WARNINGS, TO FIND THE RESTRICTED PERFORMANCE WARNING AND WHAT IT MEANT TO NO AVAIL. THE RAIN CONTINUED ON THIS EVENING AND WE DROVE (SLOWLY) HOME FOR THE REMAINING 20 MINUTES WHILE THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT REMAINED RED. *TR
