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.

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.

SOUNDS LIKE THEY ARE VERY AWARE OR LTB00795NAS1. A TECHNICAL BULLETIN INVOLVING THE "ACTIVE ON DEMAND COUPLING OIL PUMP" THAT JUST HAPPENS TO MESS UP ON SPECIFIC CARS FROM A SPECIFIC PLANT AT WITH NO FAULT TO THE DRIVER, YET THIS IS NOT A RECALL?? I CALLED LR USA AND THE REPRESENTATIVE SAID IT DID NOT MEET THE STANDARDS OF A RECALL, WHATEVER THAT MEANS.

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.
