The head lights arbitrarily go off on their own when driving. It doesn’t happened when going over something /bump in road. Turn lights back on & they go back off intermittently. It’s very dangerous driving at night to all of a sudden lights go off.

While driving south on I-95 from Virginia into North Carolina, we experienced serious brake failure. The power brakes went out completely. The Evoque is almost 10 years old with about 95K miles, we bought it new and we've maintained it meticulously (new rear brakes installed late May, 2022). We had been driving in fairly heavy traffic for the first 200 miles of our trip, with plenty of stop & go, and no issues. When we decided to exit at the NC Welcome Center, my wife was driving and when she tried to break on the exit ramp, nothing happened! We were lucky no cars or pedestrians were in front of us, and lucky it was a long exit ramp. She kept her foot on the brake as hard as possible, and we gradually slowed to a manageable speed and parked. First I checked myself and sure enough the car wouldn't stop as soon as I put it in gear. Next I checked the brake fluid, which was full. I tried pumping the brakes, and everything else I could thing of but the brakes would not work at all. While waiting 3.5 hours for a tow truck, I did some research and learned that this issue of power assist failure in the 2012-2019 Evoque models has been under review by the NHTSA already. Our Evoque had a Virginia safety inspection in May 2022 when the new rear brakes were installed, and there were absolutely no warning lights or other indications of trouble or risk. This situation could have ended very seriously if we hadn't pulled over for a break. Now that I know this has happened with other Evoques, I expect Land Rover to pay for the repair; I've also lost confidence in the Evoque power assist configuration and I think Land Rover needs to issue a safety recall.
Car started to smell like gas. Had mechanic check and there is a fuel tank leak . No engine light appeared prior to having inspected.
My car is parked in my single car garage. I go on vacation for 2 weeks. Car is not driven. I come home and I smell gas in my garage. I pull car out of garage and there ARE NO LEAKS ON GARAGE FLOOR. Car only has 39k miles on it. There are no Check Engine lights on.
The front bumper is cracking on the corners. Also found a forum where others are also experiencing this https://www.rangerovers.net/threads/front-bumper-cracked-no-impact.338578/
There is a gasoline leak which could be seen on the right rear underside of my vehicle (there is an exposed tank-like looking component saturated with gasoline) which can be easily ignited and cause a fire whether the car is running or parked. My vehicle is with the dealer at the moment being looked at. The dealer told me a flange connected to the fuel system and fuel pump was cracked (for no apparent reason, it just failed) which causes the leak. The dealer said this is a known problem on the range rover sport and LR4 models of certain year span and a recall is currently going on for those models BUT NOT on my model vehicle. I noticed smell of gasoline and saw the leak some time in January 2022. According to my research on NHTSA website there is another vehicle of this same model located in Apopka Florida with the same problem as mine. I am concerned that land rover may have used the same component or parts provider on the 2013 Evoque (for the flange and fuel pump) as they did for the range rover sport and LR4 models. Please look into this and hopefully any serious accident can be avoided.
Driving on the highway the passenger door opens.
The contact's granddaughter owns a 2013 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque. The contact stated that while her granddaughter was driving at an undisclosed speed, the check engine warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer and diagnosed that the turbocharger, intake, exhaust variable valve timing (VVT), timing chain, and all other supporting parts needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 65,000. Consumer stated this time, dealer stated that Turbocharger, internal mechanical failure, intake and exhaust VVTs, Timing Chain, Guides, Tensioner and all other supporting parts (Intake VVT mechanical failure) needed replacement – total for this estimate is $9,952.98!!!!!
Exterior and interior began to smell of gasoline, upon investigation by accessing the low pressure fuel pump located under the rear seat, it was determined the fuel pump developed hairline cracks allowing fuel to leak onto the undercarriage of the vehicle.

Similar to those issues identified in Open Investigation EA 20-001, I was driving two boy scouts to camp when my vehicle's brakes no longer worked. The brake pedal was firm and vehicle would not slow down almost resulting in a catastrophic crash on Interstate 95. Was able to veer off the road into the shoulder and up a ramp with a hill to slow down to safety. Vehicle is currently at dealer for diagnostics and repair.
2013 Range Rover Evoque. Consumer writes in regards to electrical issues. THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED SOFTWARE ISSUES, WIRING FAILURES, AND SEAT OCCUPATION ISSUES. THE CONSUMER INTENDED TO SELL THE VEHICLE.
the windshield is getting microscratches in it and they seem to be on the inside of the glass they are getting worse and are impedeing me seeing.
WAS DRIVING AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THERE WAS A LOUD WIND SOUND AND THEN ALL ENGINE POWER WAS LOST, IT ALSO WOULDN'T SHIFT BECAUSE OF THE LOSS OF ENGINE POWER. BUT I HAD TO AT LEAST MAKE IT HOME AND ON MY WAY HOME I WAS ON THE BYPASS AND I COULDN'T GET THE CAR TO GO ABOVE 65. IT WAS DEFINITELY STRUGGLING. I WENT TO SHOP AND GOT DIAGNOSED AND THEY CAME TO THE CONCLUSION THAT THE TURBO HAS GONE OUT AND THAT HAS BEEN A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE EVOQUE. SO NOW IT'S A HEFTY REPAIR DUE TO FAULTY MANUFACTURING OF THE TURBOCHARGER. I LOOKED IT UP AND IT SEEMS THAT MANY EVOQUE OWNERS HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE WITH THEIR TURBOS GOING OUT
VEHICLE IS LEAKING POWER STEERING FLUID WHICH CAN CAUSE OUT OF CONTROL ACCIDENTS LEADING TO LOSS OF LIFE. VEHICLE WAS PARKED ON MY DRIVEWAY AND I NOTICED SPOTS OF STAINS WHEN FURTHER INSPECT I NOTICE IT WAS POWER STEERING FLUID SWEATING COMING FROM THE POWER STEERING HOSE AT THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE. VEHICLE IS PARKED ON MY DRIVEWAY I HAVE ANOTHER VEHICLE THAT I'M USING IN THE MEANWHILE.
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.
Higher-selling and older vehicles accumulate more reports. Counts are not failure rates and are not directly comparable between vehicles that sold in very different numbers.
