Summary

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.

Summary

MY DOOR LOCKS ARE FAILING AND LAND ROVER / RANGE ROVER IS TELLING ME IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH YOUR PRIOR INVESTIGATION, RECALL OR OTHER. FIRST, I COULDN'T GET MY PASSENGER DOOR TO LOCK, THEN IT SUDDENLY STARTED WORKING AGAIN. NOW, I CAN'T GET MY DRIVER SIDE TO LOCK, AND MY PASSENGER IS FINE. LAND ROVER CLAIMS THEY ALREADY UPDATED MY "SOFTWARE" BUT I THINK IT'S SOMETHING MUCH MORE DETAILED THAN THAT, AS THERE ARE LITERALLY 1000'S OF PEOPLE ASKING ON THE INTERNET ABOUT THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM. NOT SURE IF THIS WILL RESULT IN MY DOORS FLYING OPEN SUDDENLY, AS HAS BEEN DOCUMENTED IN PRIOR CASES WITH NHTSA FOR MY YEAR RANGE ROVER - BUT I TRULY FEEL AS IF THEY KNOW ABOUT A PROBLEM WITH THEIR DOOR ACTUATORS, SOFTWARE AND LOCKS BUT ARE UNWILLING TO FIX THEM IN THEIR DEALERSHIP UNDER RECALL OR WARRANTY. SEVERAL DEALERS HAVE NOTED FOR MY VIN, THEY'VE DEVELOPED NEW ACTUATORS BECAUSE OF FLAWS IN PREVIOUS VERSIONS AND WANT ME TO SPEND UPWARDS OF $2K TO HAVE REPLACEMENTS.

Summary

I HAVE THE 2014 RANGE ROVER WITH THE V6 SUPERCHARGED GAS ENGINE. DURING A ROLLING START, SUCH AS ROLLING START TO PERFORM A U-TURN OR MERGING INTO A HIGHWAY, THE ACCELERATION IS DELAYED BY AT LEAST 2 SECONDS, WHICH IS VERY DANGEROUS. ESPECIALLY DURING MERGING ON TO THE FREEWAY THE 2 SECONDS ACCELERATION LAG COULD SEND FALSE INFORMATION TO THE OTHER CARS AND MADE ME ALMOST CRASH FOR A FEW TIMES. IT SHOULD BE A TRANSMISSION OR ENGINE MANAGEMENT SOFTWARE UPDATE TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE.

Summary

WHILE TRAVELING APPROXIMATELY 15 MPH (INSIDE MY SUBDIVISION AS WAS ONLY LEAVING THE MY GARAGE TO COMMUTE INTO WORK) AND MAKING A RIGHT HAND TURN, THE LEFT SIDE PASSENGER DOOR OPENED BY ITSELF. INITIALLY UNAWARE OF THIS (INSIDE LIGHTS DID NOT TURN ON, NOR THE PASSENGER DASH HIGHLIGHTING ANY INFORMATION) I CONTINUED TO DRIVE, ONLY TO HAVE THE NOW OPEN DOOR SMASH INTO A BRICK COLUMN WHICH WAS TO THE LEFT SIDE OF ME. I IMMEDIATELY PULLED TO THE RIGHT TO ASSESS WHAT WAS HAPPENING AND FOUND THAT THE DOOR WAS DENTED AND SCRATCHED BUT NOW THE DOOR LATCH WAS NOW ENGAGED AND THE DOOR NOT ABLE TO CLOSE. THANKFULLY MY 8 MONTH OLD DAUGHTER, WHO USUALLY SITS ON THIS SIDE OF THE CAR WAS NOT WITH ME. I AM EXTREMELY ALARMED AND CONCERNED THAT THE DOOR COULD BECOME OPENED BY ITSELF AND NOW UNDERSTAND THAT THIS MATTER IS BEING INVESTIGATED BY NHTSA DUE TO OTHERS HAVING HAD SIMILAR ISSUES. I WANT TO DOCUMENT THAT I TOO HAVE HAD THIS HAPPEN TO ME AND AM DOING MY BEST NOW TO WORK WITH LAND ROVER DIRECTLY TO ASSIST ME IN FIXING THE ISSUE, INCLUDING THE ROOT CAUSE AND BODY WORK. HOWEVER, THE DEALER REPRESENTATIVE IS ALREADY SUGGESTING NO FAULT BY THE VEHICLE.

Summary

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.

Summary

THERE IS AN NHTSA ARTICLE FOR A RECALL ATTRIBUTED TO A FRONT SIDE AIRBAG WHICH AFFECTED VEHICLES BUILT FROM MAY 9, 2012 THROUGH MARCH 15, 2013. I BELIEVE THIS RECALL SHOULD BE EXTENDED TO ALL 2013-2014 MODEL YEAR RANGE ROVERS. WHEN MY AIRBAG LIGHT TURNED ON, I WAS IMMEDIATELY CONCERNED AND RUSHED TO THE DEALER TO HAVE THE ISSUE INSPECTED. UPON DEALER INVESTIGATION, I WAS TOLD THAT THE LIGHT TURNS ON AND OFF. OFTEN THE LIGHT WILL REMAIN ON. OTHER TIMES, THE LIGHT WILL REMAIN FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME AND THEN TURN OFF AND FINALLY AT ODD TIMES IT WILL REMAIN OFF. I WAS INFORMED BY A DEALER THAT THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE WITH THE 2013-14 MODEL YEAR RANGE ROVERS HOWEVER THE MANUFACTURER HAS LIMITED THE ORIGINAL RECALL TO 3,912. WHILE I HAVE CONTACTED THE MANUFACTURER TO HAVE THEM RESOLVE THIS ISSUE. I HAVE REQUESTED THE DEALERSHIP TO ORDER THE PART WHICH I WAS INFORMED WILL TAKE OVER 3 WEEKS TO RECEIVE. THIS IS THE SECOND FULL WEEK.

Summary

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.

THESE ITEMS MADE CONTACT WITH THE BUTTONS ON THE RIGHT SIDE WALL OF THE TRUNK THAT CONTROL THE INCLINE/DECLINE OF THE REAR SEATS. THE BUTTON WAS ACTIVATED AND THE SEAT MY DAUGHTER WAS SEATED IN STARTED TO DECLINE. SHE WAS NOT STRONG ENOUGH TO RESIST THE DECLINE AND THE SEAT FORCED HER TO NEAR HORIZONTAL BEFORE WE WERE ABLE TO REVERSE THE SWITCH. SHE ESCAPED INJURY, BUT IT SEEMS LIKELY THAT AN INJURY COULD HAVE RESULTED FROM THIS HAD THE SEAT DECLINED FURTHER. THESE BUTTONS NEED TO BE PROTECTED IN SOME FASHION TO PREVENT ACCIDENTAL ENGAGEMENT.

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

I PURCHASED MY NEW VEH IN MAY OF 2014. FROM THAT TIME UNTIL NOVEMBER, MY VEH DROVE/SHIFTED SMOOTH. I TOOK MY VEH IN FOR ITS 1ST SERVICE ON NOV. 25TH, 2014 AND AT THAT TIME THEY PERFORMED A TCM SOFTWARE UPDATE. SINCE LEAVING WITH MY VEH, I NOTICED IT DROVE COMPLETELY DIFFERENT. IT SHIFTED HARD, CLUNKED INTO GEAR & NO LONGER DRIVES LIKE A PREMIUM, NEW VEHICLE. I ADVISED MY SERVICE ADVISOR [XXX] A FEW DAYS LATER. AT THAT TIME HE SCHEDULED AN APT TO BRING IN & CHECK IT OUT. I ARRIVED FOR MY APT ON DEC 16TH, HAD THE SERVICE ADVISOR DRIVE WITH ME SO I COULD SHOW HIM WHAT I WAS EXPERIENCING. THE NEXT DAY I RECEIVED A PHONE CALL THAT MY VEH WAS "READY TO BE PICKED UP". I ASKED "DOES THAT MEAN IT IS FIXED?" HE REPLIED, "AT THIS TIME, WE & LAND ROVER ARE AWARE OF YOUR CONCERN, BUT UNFORTUNATELY, THERE IS NO REMEDY/FIX AT THIS TIME." THEY TOLD ME THEY WOULD CONTACT ME WHEN THERE WAS A KNOWN FIX/REPAIR. I PICKED MY VEH UP, & SINCE THEN, IT DRIVES EVEN WORSE. I EXPLAINED TO THE SERVICE DEPT THAT EVEN THOUGH THEY SAY IT IS "SAFE TO DRIVE", THAT I DO NO FEEL SAFE DRIVING IT. IN THE MORNINGS, THE SHIFTS ARE SO VIOLENT THAT I FEEL LIKE I AM DOING FURTHER DAMAGE TO MY DRIVETRAIN/SUSPENSION COMPONENTS. I HAVE REACHED OUT TO LAND ROVER NORTH AMERICA (REP:[XXX]: 800.452.4827 EXT. [XXX]0) SEVERAL TIMES, HE STATES THE SAME THING, "LAND ROVER IS AWARE OF THE TRANSMISSION PROBLEM, BUT THERE IS NO KNOWN FIX AT THIS TIME". IN MY OPINION, THIS VEHICLE IS CLASSIFIED AS A "LEMON" BECAUSE I CANNOT OPERATE IT WITH MY CHILDREN IN THE CAR & FEEL SAFE, & THE DEALERSHIP/CAR MANUFACTURER DOES NOT HAVE A REMEDY/FIX NOR CAN THEY TELL ME WHEN IT WILL BE AVAILABLE. (I HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH THIS ISSUE NOW FOR ALMOST 2 MONTHS & THINK THE TIME FRAME I HAVE BEEN PATIENTLY WAITING FOR IS MORE THAN REASONABLE, WHICH IS WHY I AM PROCEEDING NOW WITH FURTHER ACTION).

Summary

I WAS TURNING INTO A PARKING SPACE GOING APPROX. 2 MPH WHEN SUDDENLY THE CAR ACCELERATED SO FAST THAT IT JUMP ONTO THE CURB AND HIT A TREE. LUCKILY, I DID NOT HIT A PERSON OR ANOTHER CAR. HOWEVER, MY BRAND NEW CAR IS NOW IN THE BODY SHOW AND IS ESTIMATED TO COST AT LEAST $40K. IT COMPLETELY DAMAGED THE INSIDE OF MY CAR. ITS MIND BOGGLING TO ME HOW THE SPEED ALL OF A SUDDEN WENT SO FAST. NOTE THAT I DO NOT HAVE THE VIN BECAUSE IT IS IN THE BODY SHOP. ALSO, IT IS THE RANGE ROVER SPORT 2014 (THAT OPTION WAS NOT AVAILABLE IN THE SELECTION SO I JUST CHOSE RANGE ROVER 2014). *TR

Summary

I HAVE AN UNRESOLVED ISSUE WITH LAND ROVER RELATING TO THE ENGINE / TRANSMISSION WARNING LIGHT AND THE NEED FOR AN O2 SENSOR TO BE FITTED TO THE VEHICLE. LAND ROVER (SOUTH WEST FREEWAY, HOUSTON) HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO A) SOURCE THE O2 SENSOR B) ENSURE THAT THE VEHICLE IS RUNNING CORRECTLY C) GIVE ME A DATE WHEN THE PART WILL BE AVAILABLE. FEEL LIKE I AM BEING IGNORED BY THE GARAGE HAVING HAD THE VEHICLE IN 3 TIMES FOR DIAGNOSTICS AND TWICE TOLD THAT THE PART WOULD BE FITTED WHEN THEY HAD NONE IN STOCK. *TR

Summary

OUR 2014 RANGE ROVER SPORT PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG INDICATOR DEACTIVATES INTERMITTENTLY DURING MULTIPLE TRIPS AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS WITH AN ADULT IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. AFTER 7-12 MINUTES THE INDICATOR LIGHT NEAR THE SUNSHADE BUTTON WILL ILLUMINATE TO NOTE THE PASSENGER AIRBAG HAS BEEN DEACTIVATED OR IS NOT OPERATIONAL; EVEN THOUGH THE PASSENGER IS SITTING CORRECTLY AND MAINTAINING CONSTANT WEIGHT ON THE SEAT. MOVING AROUND THE SEAT OR SHIFTING WEIGHT FROM ONE SIDE TO THE OTHER WILL NOT EXTINGUISH THE INDICATOR LIGHT; HOWEVER BRIEFLY UNBUCKLING THE SEAT BELT WHILE THE VEHICLE IS MOVING AND THEN QUICKLY BUCKLING THE SEAT BELT WILL CAUSE THE INDICATOR LIGHT TO SHUT OFF FOR 7 TO 12 MINUTES. AFTER THIS UNBUCKLING AND BUCKLING PROCESS HAS BEEN COMPLETED THE LIGHT WILL COME ON AGAIN. THE LAND ROVER DEALERSHIP INSPECTED THIS VEHICLE AND FOUND NO PROBLEMS WITH THE PASSENGER AIR BAG SENSORS. LAND ROVER ALSO NEVER MENTIONED TO ME THAT THIS ISSUES HAS OCCURRED WITH OTHER RANGE ROVER VEHICLES. ON ANOTHER NOTE, THE AIR BAG INDICATOR LIGHT IS SEVERELY UNDERILLUMINATED. VERY DIFFICULT TO SEE DURING THE DAY AND THERE IS NO OTHER VISUAL OR AUDIO QUEUE TO THE DRIVER THAT THE PASSENGER AIR BAG HAS BEEN DEACTIVATED. THIS IS TROUBLING BECAUSE YOU MAY NEVER NOTICE THE ISSUE UNLESS IT OCCURS AT NIGHT, BUT EVEN THEN IT IS STILL DIFFICULT TO SEE IN THE DARK.[XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

Summary

I WANTED TO INFORM YOU OF A VERY SERIOUS ISSUE WITH 2014 RANGE ROVERS THAT MAY EITHER CAUSE AN ACCIDENT OR STRAND SOMEONE MANY MILES FROM CIVILIZATION! I STOPPED THE VEHICLE AND THE ROTARY SHIFTER WOULD NOT POP UP AS IT WAS STUCK DOWN AND THE CAR WAS STUCK IN DRIVE! I HAD TO SHUT THE VEHICLE OFF AND THEN IT WOULD NOT SHIFT OUT OF DRIVE SO IT WOULD NOT START WHEN THE START/STOP BUTTON WAS PUSHED! THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED ASAP. MY CAR IS NOW AT THE DEALER AND THEY ARE SAYING IT WILL BE AT LEAST 2 WEEKS TO REPAIR. *TR

Summary

PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG INDICATOR ACTIVATES AND DEACTIVATES INTERMITTENTLY DURING A SINGLE TRIP WITH A SINGLE PASSENGER. FOR EXAMPLE, AFTER 45 MINUTES INTO A TRIP DRIVING A STEADY 75 MPH, THE INDICATOR LIGHT WILL ILLUMINATE TO NOTE THAT THE PASSENGER AIRBAG IS NOW DEACTIVATED AND WILL REMAIN THIS WAY FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE 4-HOUR TRIP. THIS OCCURS DESPITE THE FACT THAT PASSENGER IS SITTING AS SHE SHOULD, NOT MOVING ABOUT, AND WEIGHS 120 POUNDS. NO AMOUNT OF MOVING AROUND OR SITTING STILL CHANGES THE DEACTIVATION LIGHT. UNDOING THE SEAT BELT AND REFASTENING WILL OCCASIONALLY CAUSE THE LIGHT TO SHUT OFF FOR 10 OR 15 MINUTES, BUT IT COMES BACK ON AGAIN AND STAYS ON PERMANENTLY. ON SHORTER, LOCAL TRIPS THAT LAST AROUND A HALF HOUR AT LOWER SPEEDS, THE PASSENGER AIRBAG LIGHT DOES NOT ILLUMINATE, MEANING THAT THE AIRBAGS ARE ACTIVATED. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN BROUGHT TO LAND ROVER CHICAGO TWICE, AND THEY REFUSE TO SERVICE OR ASSIST FURTHER. LAND ROVER CORPORATE ALSO CLAIMS OPERATION IS NORMAL. YET, NO ONE CAN EXPLAIN WHY THE AIRBAG PROTECTION IS INTERMITTENT, WHAT WEIGHT YOU MUST BE TO RECEIVE AIRBAG PROTECTION, OR WHAT IS CAUSING THE COMPUTER TO CHANGE ITS MIND 45 MINUTES INTO A TRIP. NOR CAN ANYONE EXPLAIN WHY THE SAME PASSENGER HAS AIRBAG PROTECTION DURING LOCAL TRIPS BUT NOT ON LONGER TRIPS AT FASTER SPEED. *TR
