The vehicle unexpectedly shifts into neutral. I purchased the vehicle in 2023 at a used car dealership. I mentioned that this was happening to the salesmen roughly 1-2 months after I purchased the vehicle when it first happened I asked him if there were any recalls or any repairs done that I should know about. I was told there were no recalls and no repairs done on the truck. I was told to take it to a dealer to have it check. I called the dealer and mentioned that I saw a recall for this same issue from 2016. I was told there wasn’t a recall on the vin #. The truck is not safe to drive. I’m afraid I will cause a serious accident with the truck unexpectedly shifting into neutral.
The contact owns a 2015 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle suddenly lost motive power after shifting into neutral, as indicated by the gear shift indicator light. The vehicle returned to normal functionality, but the failure became a regular occurrence. No warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer or an independent mechanic. The vehicle was not repaired. After investigating the failure, the contact related the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 16V614000 (Power Train), but the VIN was not included.

My window is constantly leaking water. I am not the original owner. I went to get the window repaired and the shops say it’s a recall. I never knew it was one. I now have a problem with wiring and I believe that the leaks have lead to this!
I am reporting a critical and systemic defect affecting Land Rover vehicles equipped with the 2.0L GTDi turbo petrol engine (240 hp), including my 2015 Evoque, My engine suffered catastrophic failure at ~118,000 miles while driving caused by a premature timing chain or tensioner failure. Pistons & valves collides, cams clashed and wouldn't rotate, loss of compression and dangerously instantaneous loss of power/speed/control without warning. The damage required full engine replacement. This significantly increases the risk of crashes & deaths especially at high speeds, traffic congestion, windy roads or hills, night time driving, poor weather conditions. Without warning the driver is helpless without power or ability to move to safety and rear end collision or loss of control is highly likely. Land Rover’s Passport to Service for the 2015 model year does not include timing chain inspection or replacement at any interval—not at 60k, 90k, or even 120k miles. The chain is treated as a “lifetime” component, giving drivers no opportunity to prevent failure. Vehicle had all proper maintenance, recent oil changes at low intervals, and official Land Rover dealership underwent full diagnostics and testing with the conclusion this fault was not user/driver related or to any part myself. Online forums, technician reports, and owner cases show this issue is widespread and recurring across many model years and builds using this engine. The repair is anywhere from 15-20k USD for the evoque (using a reman or new engine). Notably, Land Rover has previously settled class-action lawsuits (e.g., 2012-2014 Lr4 for the or 5.0L V8) where timing chain failures caused major damage—offering full or prorated reimbursement to owners. There are also industry precedents, such as VW/Audi 2.0T engines, in which tensioner defects led to class actions covering engine replacements.
At low speed, pulled out of parking spot into [XXX] and the steering completely failed. Could not move the steering wheel at all. My service person is replacing the complete steering rack ($6500). There are many reports of this on a UK site and report that Land Rover has been paying for the repair. Definitely a safety issue.

The vehicle was towed to the dealer, where it was determined that the variable valve timing (VVT) solenoid needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 155,000.
1. The EPAS system detached from the steering rack (caused by the three bolts that attach the EPAS to the steering rack being fractured and corroded due to saltwater ingress (inter crystalline corrosion) causing a loss of steering control. 2. This caused loss of steering control and presented a potentially catastrophic driving condition. 3. The problem has been confirmed by a JLR dealer. 4. This problem has been recognized by Canadian authorities who issued a recall (Transport Canada Recall #2018-180). Further, in the UK, the UK Government DVSA secured and agreement from JLR tp "fix upon failure" which may have been changed to a general recall. Lastly, BMW of North America issued a letter in September, 2018 proactively recalling all cars possibly affected by this issue to be inspected by their service departments and corrective action taken free of charge. 5. There were no warning lamps, messages or symptoms prior to failure.

While driving on the highway, I heard a loud pop and then my car lost acceleration. When I tried to press on gas, it made a loud whining noise and struggled to get above 40-50 MPH. I took it to mechanic and they said that the turbo had a defect and wasn’t working properly. Had to replace entire turbo
My trunk door will open up on its own. I will come outside in the morning and my trunk will be open,or as we are getting in our getting out of the vehicle the trunk door will come up all by itself. I have a toddler so this posses a serious safty concern. In addition, my power train just stops on its own where the vehicle wont accelerate as it should. i have kept up with all of the service request and needed repairs on the vehicle.
During routine maintenance (motor oil change), I discovered the transfer case leaking oil from a sealing cap. Upon further investigation, I discovered Land Rover is aware of the issue and they have a Technical Bulletin (LTB00834NAS1) for the repair. I contacted Land Rover Corporate and the local dealer, they both refused to repair it free of charge since the vehicle is out of warranty. This is a safety issue and Land Rover should repair it with a recall. If all the oil leaks out (transfer case only holds approx 1 pint), the transfer case would seize and potentially cause a crash.
I was driving on the highway and my turbo went out. My car has not been the same since. I’ve taken it to the deal many times but the engine is not the same and the car shakes when idol and does not properly accelerate

Steering completely went on my car. Thankfully I was just backing out of the driveway. I had to have the car towed to the dealership b/c it was completely undrivabe. If I had been driving on the highway, I don't know what would have happened. Absolutely no warning lights came on. The issue is a bolt snapped due to corrosion. The Land Rover dealership told me they need to replace the steering gearbox. I have done some research and have found this issue has been recalled in the UK and Canada but not in the US. The dealer acknowledged this is a known issue but that it has not been recalled in US yet.
Two month ago , i bought this 2015 Landover Evoque a week later i smelled fuel gasoline odor , after a close inspection , found gasoline leaking from the right rear of the vehicle's tire above the gas tank , am a mechanic by hobby , started digging in online and found the same issue with other landcovers see below (( Makes/Models/Model Years: LAND ROVER/LR4/2010-2016 LAND ROVER/RANGE ROVER SPORT/2010-2013 Mfr's Report Date: August 12, 2021 NHTSA Campaign Number: 21V-635 Components: FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:DELIVERY:FUEL PUMP:MOUNTING PLATE/FLANGE Potential Number of Units Affected: 111,746 Problem Description: Jaguar Land Rover North America, LLC (Land Rover) is recalling certain 2010-2013 Range Rover Sport and 2010-2016 LR4 vehicles equipped with 3.0L V6 or 5.0L V8 engines. The fuel outlet flange mounted on the fuel tank may crack, possibly resulting in a fuel leak. Consequence: A fuel leak in the presence of an ignition source increases the risk of a fire.)) I took vehicle to a land rover dealership , they confirmed the leaking issue from fuel sending unit (FLANGE) they found the unit cracked .I did contact Land rover customer relationship ,they confirmed with dealership service adviser that this part is defective ! They refused to take responsibly This issue am having is the exact same issue that was acknowledged by landcover on a different model. I wonder how many other landcover like mine is on the road now, with leaking fuel from the gas tank .Very hazardous and dangerous issue for the publics
Vehicle has stress cracking bilaterally on front bumper where it meets the fender , looks like it is due to heat or excess tension from headlight. Cracks are split down the sides symmetrically and end result is requiring a brand new bumper at thousands of dollars. LTB00738NAS2 Is a technical bulletin describing exact issue but land rover states this bulletin doesn’t matter to me as I am out of factory warranty and there is no recall. The bumper being adrift reduces safety of the vehicle and interferes with alignments of sensors used for parking, collision avoidance, and other ADAS systems.
2015 Evoque cam failed and ruined the engine at 68k miles. The cost of the repair exceeds the value of the car (about $17k). No one will fix it for this reason. It shifted into neutral unexpectedly causing a potential traffic hazard. It was impossible to move it out of the roadway without the assistance of a tow truck (parking brakes lock, and gear selector becomes useless.) After some research this seems to be a fairly common known issue. This is very unsafe, and financially devasting on a financed car. There were no warnings and no prior issues up to the time of incident.
After driving the vehicle for 30 miles or more and parking in the garage, a very strong gas odor fills the garage; the vehicle has to be parked outside in the driveway.
MY CAR WAS TAKEN IN TO A DEALER MULTIPLE TIMES REGARDING WHAT I BELIEVED WERE SEIZED AND LEAKING MAGNERIDE SHOCKS. WHEN ON FREEWAY AND CAR HIT A BUMP THE WHOLE CAR WOULD GIVE A LOUD THUMP AND STABILITY WAS SERIOUSLY COMPROMISED TO THE POINT TURNS DID NOT FEEL SAFE IF THERE WAS A 'ROUGH' ROAD. DEALER FAILED TO RECOGNIZE IT EVEN AFTER ME BRINGING IT IN AND STATING THE PROBLEM AS THEY SAID THAT ISSUE WOULD BE MORE RARE. HAD A THIRD PARTY INSTALL NEW MAGNERIDE SHOCKS... 2 WERE COMPLETELY SEIZED UP IN EXTENDED POSITION ALMOST TO THE POINT THEY COULDN'T BE REMOVED AND A THIRD WAS LEAKING. THERE IS NO MENTION OF ANY SERVICE, LIFESPAN, OR MAINTENANCE ON THE MAGNERIDE SHOCKS. WHILE IN THE PROCESS OF SUSPENSION REMOVAL, BOTH FRONT AXLES WERE BROKEN AS THE INSTALLER NOTICED THE FRONT AXLE THREADS WERE STRIPPED AT THE HUB AND ONE NUT SIEZED AND ANOTHER WAS DANGEROUSLY LOOSE... ENDED UP NEEDING TWO NEW FRONT AXLES AND WHEEL BEARING. THE MAIN ISSUE IS THE REACTION BETWEEN THE METALS, THE HUBS ARE ALUMINIUM AND THE BOLTS ARE STEEL AND THAT CAUSES GALVANIC CORROSION AND CAN BE A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. SHOULD THERE BE SHEARING OR BREAKAGE WHILE DRIVING IT COULD BE LETHAL AND IT'S A SERIOUS DESIGN FLAW.
2015 EVOQUE, 50K MILES ONLY. ON FEB 26TH 2020, I WAS ON THE INTERSTATE AND NOTICED A HUMMING SOUND FROM ENGINE SIDE. GRADUALLY IT BECAUSE SO LOUD AND NON IGNORABLE. THE VEHICLE LOST POWER AND SLOWED DOWN ON THE INTERSTATE. MY WHOLE FAMILY SURVIVED A CLUSTER CRASH BY MERE LUCK. DEALERSHIP SAYS TURBO IS BLOWN AND THIS IS COMMON PROBLEM. BILLS $4500 AND AM OUT OF WARRANTY SINCE NOV 2020. COMMON PROBLEM ??? HOW CAN A 5 YR OLD 50K VEHICLE HAVE A COMMON PROBLEM THAT COSTS $4500 TO FIX ? MY RESEARCH SHOW LAND ROVER WAS ALWAYS AWARE OF THIS TURBO FAILURE ISSUES AND NEVER ATTEMPTED TO FIX IT. THIS IS A DESIGN ISSUE HIDDEN FROM CUSTOMERS AND WE ARE MADE TO PAY FOR THE DEFECT. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS WITH LR AND I REQUEST A RECALL OF TURBOS ON ALL DEFECTIVE LR VEHICLES ASAP.
WHILE DRIVING, MY CAR WILL UNEXPECTEDLY SHIFT INTO NEUTRAL. EACH TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED ON DECELERATION AND IS ACCOMPANIED BY A "RESELECT GEAR" ALERT ON THE DASH AND AN ALARM (DINGING) NOISE. THIS HAS HAPPED 5-6 TIMES IN 3 MONTHS. I HAVE TO FORCE THE SHIFTER OUT OF D AND INTO N THEN BACK TO D AND IT WILL CONTINUE DRIVING. I HAVE TAKEN IN INTO THE LAND ROVER DEALERSHIP 2 TIMES FOR A TOTAL OF ALMOST 6 WEEKS COMBINED, AND THEY HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO FIGURE OUT THE ISSUE OR GET THE FAULT TO REPLICATE. THERE IS A RECALL FOR MY SAME MAKE AND MODEL, JUST NOT MY VIN, THAT IS EXACTLY THE SAME AS WHAT MY CAR IS DOING.
MY 2015 RANGE ROVER EVOQUE WITH 52,000 MILES ON IT, LOST POWER WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY. I WAS UNABLE TO ACCELERATE AND KEEP UP WITH TRAFFIC EVEN WITH THE GAS PEDAL COMPLETE TO THE FLOOR. ON ROADWAYS THAT HAD HILLS, I WOULD LOSE SPEED CAUSING TRAFFIC TO BACK UP BEHIND ME. THE CHECK ENGINE ALSO CAME ON. WHEN I TOOK IT TO THE AUTO REPAIR SHOP I WAS TOLD THAT THE TURBO CHARGER HAD FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE ESTIMATE WAS $6275.
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.
