Gas leak in the fuel system. Obvious gas smell when car is turned on. Because of the impending danger i have taken the vehicle to á local independent service center for evaluation. They are in the process of confirming the problem. I could not chance driving too far to the dealer because of the hazzard and risk. There were no warning lights indicating the problem.

I have researched my 2014 Range Rover Evoque and have come upon 2 recalls. First one is recal no. 16V614000. This is where the vehicle unexpectedly shifts to neutral as I am driving. I had a few instances with this as I was driving and car shifting to neutral and gearbox gets stuck...resulting in getting stuck in the middle of the road. The second recall is recall no. 14V155000 regarding the suspension. The damaged bolts may fail, allowing the link arm to separate from the vehicle, resulting in a loss of control and increasing the risk of a crash. I have already contacted Land Rover customer service and they told me my VIN number is not covered under the recall even though it is clearly affected by the recalls. The car is not safe to drive. I am hoping you could add my vehicle to the recall list to get this repaired as soon as possible.

My car shifts into neutral while I’m driving. This is the same issue that I see recalls for but it’s stating that my car is not effected. Also, the rear suspension makes a loud grinding noise for no reason. It’s weird because other 2014 Land Rovers have these exact same recall warnings and my vin number comes up clear on the internet. This vehicle only has 45k miles on it.
While pulling out, the vehicle stopped running in the middle of the road. On restart the gear selector went down and I was unable to switch to neutral to push it out of the way. I had it towed to landrover and they told me the cam sprocket stopper dropped onto my timing chain and made it fall off. Looking online it seems like this is a big issue and still no safety recall. This issue is known by landrover and I don't see why life's have to be risked for things to get fixed.
The front door will not open on the driver's side from the outside. It will only open from the inside due to the door handle.
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.
The powertrain just went out at 60k miles. I googled regarding this n found a lot of other complaints with the powertrain even a lawsuit.
THE TIMING CHAIN CONTINUES TO SLIP AND NEED TO REPLACED . LOOSES POWER, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CONTINUES TO COME ON. BEEN HAPPENING FOR ABOUT A YEAR.
GAS LEAKING
WE BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE IN DEC. 2019. AFTER 10 MONTHS OF DRIVING ALL STABILITY CONTROL AND AWD FAILED WHILE DRIVING. COM TO FIND OUT THERE'S A RECALL ON TRANSMISSION WOULD HAVE NEVER KNEW WITHOUT INVESTIGATION. STILL NOT SURE WHO TO CONTACT. IT SEEMED TO BE A PROBLEM FOR PREVIOUS DRIVER ALSO EVIDENT IN OWNER'S MANUAL. WAS NEVER TOLD. I WAS DRIVING SOUNDED LIKE THE CAR WAS COMING APART W EVERY BUMP. ON I65 INTERSTATE WHEN IT HAPPENED
TURBO NEEDS TO BE REPLACED WITH LESS THAN 45,000 MILES
TURBO STOPPED WORKING FOR SECOND TIME AT 51,000 MILES, JUST OUT OF WARRANTY. THIS IS A KNOWN FAILURE AND SHOULD BE RECALLED.
IT IS KNOWN THE 2014 RANGE ROVER/EVOQUE HAS A TERRIBLE AND REPEATED PROBLEM WITH THE TURBO /SUPER CHARGER OVER BOOST CONDITION. IT COSTS THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TO REPAIR. THIS IS DUE TO A FAILED DESIGN WITH THE EXHAUST SYSTEM AS RANGE ROVER CAME UP WITH A NEW DESIGN AFTER 2014. *TR
GAS LEEK IN THE GAS TANK THERE WAS A CRACK IN IT
REAR TAILGATE WILL NOT OPEN DOORS WILL NOT LOCK INTERIOR LIGHTING STAYS ON. CAN NOT LOCK VEHICLE AND CAN NOT DRIVE AT NIGHT WITH INTERIOR LIGHTS ON.
THE CAR STARTED LEAKING GAS. APPARENTLY THE FUEL MODULE AND FUEL PUMP BROKE. IT LEAKED WHILE RUNNING.
CAR ABRUPTLY SHIFTS OUT OF GEAR AND INTO NEUTRAL WHILE DRIVING. GEAR WILL NOT MOVE TO PROPER GEAR ONCE THIS OCCURS. CONTROL OF VEHICLE IS LOST.
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.
THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY WENT INTO NEUTRAL ON THE HIGHWAY AND WOULD NOT SHIFT BACK. SPEED OF THE VEHICLE AT THE TIME OF INCIDENT WAS APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH
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.
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.
