Door latch is not locking door in place, yes it is available for inspection. Our safety is at risk due to the door will always be open and it is unlatched if driven. There is a potential hazard to other vehicles on streets and the highway due to this problem. Contacted dealer in San Antonio Texas to report the problem they indicated no recalls and they did not seem interested in the matter. The problem has not been confirmed by the dealer. The vehicle has not been inspected by the manufacturer or others. No warning or indication of a problem prior to the failure.

LAND ROVER PART # KNB 500023, LISTED AS KNB 500080 IN THE RANGE ROVER KIT ACCESSORY BOOKLET IS FOR A TOW HITCH, THAT HAS A HIGH FAILURE RATE. FILED CASE WITH LAND ROVER AND THEY REFUSE TO CORRECT PART UNDER THEIR LAND ROVER PROTECTION PLAN IN FORCE. THE UNIQUE PART MALE END IS INSERTED INTO A FEMALE INTEGRATED PART OF THE CHASSI AND TOGETHER FORMS A 2" X 2" CLASS III CAPABLE OF TOWNING 77016 # WITH A TONGUE WEIGHT OF 550# AS IMPRINTED OR FORGED ON THE LAND ROVER PART. THERE ARE CASES ON RECORD IN OTHER COUNTRIES THAT THERE IS A HIGH DEGREE OF FAILURE RATE WHEN THE VEHICLE IS TOWING TRAILERS ACCORDING TO THE MANUFACTURE SPECIFICATION. SO REPORT THAT THE LOCKING SYSTEM , DOES NOT LATCH FULL AND REPORTS OF THESE 5# PART WILL FALL OFF WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION. I HAVE HAD TWO FAILURE ON TOWING AND CONSIDER THIS A HIGHWAY SAFETY ISSUE SUBJECT TO IMMEDIATE RECALL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 LAND ROVER RANGE ROVER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FRONT PASSENGER DOOR DID NOT LOCK.

THE NEW GENERATION 2013 RANGE ROVER, RELEASED IN DECEMBER 2012, DOES NOT HAVE ADEQUATE WINDSHIELD WASHER SPRAY NOZZLES. THEY ARE UNABLE TO APPLY WASHER FLUID TO CLEAR AN OBSTRUCTED WINDSHIELD AT ANY TRAVELING SPEED. THIS CREATES A DANGEROUS DRIVING CONDITION DURING ANY WINTER DRIVING WHICH WILL LEAD TO ACCIDENTS. LAND ROVER CORPORATE OFFICES ARE UNWILLING / UNABLE TO ADDRESS THIS DESIGN FLAW IN ANY MANNER. THEY WOULD ONLY "REFER THIS DESIGN COMPLAINT" TO THEIR CORPORATE DESIGN ENGINEERING IN SOLIHULL, ENGLAND.

THE WASHER FLUID SPRAY NOZZLES DOES NOT PROVIDE SUITABLE SPRAY ONTO THE WINDSHIELD OTHER THAN IN PARK. INADEQUATE DESIGN, FLOW, SPRAY PATTERN IS CAUSING A SAFETY VISIBILITY ISSUE. I HAVE ATTEMPTED TO ADDRESS THE ISSUE WITH LANDROVER USA CUSTOMER SERVICE HOWEVER THEY WILL NOT FIX THE CONCERN. THEY HAVE LABELED THE ISSUE AS A "DESIGN CONCERN" NOT A SAFETY ISSUE AND "NOTIFIED" ENGINEERING IN ENGLAND FOR THEIR "POSSIBLE" REVIEW. TO CLEAR THE WINDSHIELD IN WINTER DRIVING, I MUST PULL OVER EVERY 10 - 15 MILES TO SPRAY WINDOW. THIS IS A BRAND NEW VEHICLE DESIGN FOR LAND ROVER AND AN OBVIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. I WOULD LIKE TO FILE A FORMAL SAFETY COMPLAINT WITH NHTSA.. THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION. I CAN FORWARD VIDEO AND PICTURES OF THE ISSUE IF DESIRED. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

WHILE DRIVING ON A CITY STREET MY ENTIRE STEERING WHEEL CAME LOOSE AND DETACHED FROM THE VEHICLE.

I PURCHASED A 2013 RANGE ROVER EVOQUE IN MARCH 2013. WITHIN DAYS OF PURCHASING THE NEW VEHICLE I HAD TO BRING THE VEHICLE TO TWO (2) DIFFERENT LAND ROVER DEALERSHIPS. AS IT TURNS OUT WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS ASSEMBLED THE STEERING COLUMN WAS NOT INSTALLED PROPERLY AND CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO PULL. AN EFFORT WAS MADE TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. I ALSO HAD THE FRONT AXLE REPLACED WITHIN 5 MOTHS OF OWNING THE VEHICLE. I'VE ALSO HAD NUMEROUS OTHER PROBLEMS WITH THE VEHICLE AND HAVE HAD IT IN THE REPAIR SHOP SEVERAL TIMES. *TR

I GOT OUT OF THE EVOQUE WITH IT RUNNING AND THE DOOR OPEN. WHEN I CAME WALKING BACK THE CAR WAS GOING UP THE ROAD BY ITSELF IN REVERSE. IT HIT A MAILBOX THAT STOPPED IT. IT COULD HAVE HIT KIDS THAT ARE USUALLY IN THE AREA. LR/RR LOOKED AT IT FOR TWO WEEKS THEN TOLD ME I MUST HAVE LEFT IT IN REVERSE AND GOT OUT OF THE SUV SOMEHOW BEFORE IT MOVED. THEY WERE NOT GOING TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. WHEN I GOT IN THE SUV AFTER IT HIT THE MAILBOX IT WAS STILL IN PARK. LONG STORY SHORT IS LR/RR IS DOING NOTHING FOR US. NOW THE BODY SHOP IS TELLING US THE REPAIR PARTS THAT I HAVE TO PAY FOR WILL TAKE UP TO ONE YEAR TO GET IN. WE HAVE BEEN OVER 60 DAYS AND STILL THEY HAVE NO ETA FOR THE PARTS. WHAT A JOKE FOR A COMPANY OF THIS SIZE. MY WIFE WILL NEVER AGREE TO DRIVE THIS SUV AGAIN WITH THIS ISSUE. NEVER BUY A RR/LR. *TR

The metal gas tank shroud (cover) on the bottom of the car is completed rotted away and there is no longer anything protecting the gas tank from rupture. This was brought to my attention by an automotive service center as well as my own visual inspection. My understanding this shroud not only protects the tank but also helps support it to the car.

WHILE DRIVING ON A CITY STREET MY ENTIRE STEERING WHEEL CAME LOOSE AND DETACHED FROM THE VEHICLE.
