2020 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque

My 2020 Range Rover Evoque with VIN [XXX] has an identical failure described in Land Rover Service Action N221/N221NAS18.09.004. Water has entered from the top edge of windshield seal during rain. Though this defect took place in earlier models 2015-2018, the defect continued in 2020 model year ( L551). My front footwells and carpet are soaked, my infotainment system in the car went blank and upon investigation at the dealership, they've found water in the body of the car and white mold under the carpet and as a result the need to replace a lot of electrical modules etc. My car has a factory windshield, no replacement. When I went to retrieve my car from the dealer, they gave me back with a hairline crack in the windshield which the service advisor admitted that wasn't there when the car was dropped off and possibly happened during testing. Im requesting coverage for N221 to include 2020 year model. Link to technician video of his findings. [XXX] Please note : I had no idea this is how water was getting into my car. I thought my windows were left down during rain. The dealer made me aware of the defect but had no interest in doing a Goodwill repair because I'm no longer under warranty. I thank them for admitting that this is a defect however saddened that they won't fix the issue. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

My vehicle is affected by Safety Recall D126 / 26V-248. The vehicle has already experienced the recall failure: loss of charging, stalling while driving, and now it will not crank at all. The dealership is refusing towing, refusing to document the safety failure, and refusing Transportation. Corporate has also refused assistance. I am left without a vehicle and unable to work. This is an unsafe condition and a violation of federal recall obligations.

On 4/26/2026 My vehicle experienced hybrid system failure, electrical failure, charging system failure, loss of drive power, electrical shutdown, and loss of exterior lighting at a busy intersection, while at a red light. My vehicle had to be towed and was confirmed by the Range Rover dealership as a DC-DC converter failure. My 73 yr old mother and I had to get out and direct traffic for over two hours, to keep my vehicle from getting hit or us being seriously injured, until a wrecker arrived. I had previously took my vehicle to two dealerships, when I had a light to come on. They told me to keep driving until they researched the problem and that my vehicle would not leave me on side of the road. Approximately 2 weeks later is when it displayed another warning light, right before shutting off completely on the above date and having me stopped, not on the side of the road, but worse, at a red light busy intersection off a highway ramp. I found out by the dealership that my vehicle issue is part of an active DC/DC converter recall. My husband and I had to pay for the costly repairs, towing and have been out of a vehicle, with no loaner for over a month. I am requesting a "recall reimbursement”,“goodwill reimbursement” and “pre-remedy reimbursement eligibility."
