Land rover Range rover evoque problems
The Land Rover Range Rover Evoque, also known as the Range Rover Evoque, is a subcompact luxury crossover SUV developed and produced by Jaguar Land Rover under their Land Rover marque. The original Evoque was a development of the Land Rover LRX concept vehicle, which was unveiled at the North American International Auto Show in January 2008. The first generation Evoque was produced from July 2011 until 2018 in three and five-door versions, with both two-wheel and four-wheel drive. The second generation of the car went into production in 2018.
First generation (L538; 2011)
Development
The size of the LRX concept vehicle complemented a wide array of efficiency-improving technologies in the form of Land Rover's e_Terrain technologies. These included biofuel compatibility, lightweight construction materials, and technologies such as the removable carbon composite roof panels, regenerative brakes, a stop-start system, along with the ERAD (electric rear axle drive) parallel hybrid powertrain system.
ERAD system
The ERAD system could propel the LRX to speeds up to 20 mph (32 km/h) before the engine was started by an integrated starter generator as part of the stop-start system. ERAD was designed to reduce CO2 emissions by an average of 20% under the NEDC test cycle and was expected to offer another 10% reduction in extra-urban driving situations while also optimizing the off-road ability of the vehicle. Land Rover aimed to achieve 120 g/km CO2 emissions and fuel economy of 60 mpg‑imp (4.7 L/100 km; 50 mpg‑US) on the European combined cycle with an efficient 2.2-litre turbodiesel engine based on PSA DW12. The engine would become the only four-cylinder vehicle in the Range Rover lineup.

- Summary: The the top of the windshield leaks. The windshield has actually pulled away from the body of the car and needs to be completely resealed. This is a well known and recall problem for 2015 to 2018 Land Rover Evokes. My Evoke is a 2019 thus dose not fall under the recall, yet its the same issue. There are many other people with this complaint which can be seen with a quick Google search on this issue. My dealership has straight out told me that my year is not in the recall, although same problem, its not a recall item because my year is not included in the recall. I am asking that you expand the current recall for leaking windshields form 2015 to 2022 (i say 2022 because on line, there seems to be an on going issue until 2022.

- VIN: SALZT2FX6PH
- Components: UNKNOWN OR OTHER
- Summary: . I leased the vehicle from the Suburban of Troy (Jaguar Troy-Land Rover Troy) at 1815 Maplelawn Troy, MI 48084 through Ally Financial on 6/30/22. On 7/29/22 and 8/15/22, I brought the vehicle into the Suburban Collection’s Service Center. I stated that when I remote started the vehicle from the app, I would start driving and a “Gearbox Fault” message would turn on for a day or so and would shut off. I provided the Service Advisor with my login credentials to troubleshoot the concern with my vehicle. Unfortunately, no resolution was made with regards to my vehicle and it was returned to me. This continued to occur. On 1/9/23 (with just over 6,500 miles), I again brought my vehicle into the service center. I started my vehicle using the mobile app while the auto start/stop function was enabled and drove the vehicle for a number of miles and upon entering a roundabout, the vehicle shifted itself into neutral during rush hour traffic. I could not switch out of neutral and had to restart the vehicle in the middle of rush hour and I could have been rear ended. This situation was horrifying. I reached out to four individuals via JLR corporate emails on 3/7/23, as I had not received any information from my service advisor regarding my vehicle. During that time, I was driving a loaner vehicle that did not have the same features and I was unable to start the vehicle remotely during that time. I received correspondence from an Executive Liaison, Jean Meyer on 3/8/23 after receiving my vehicle the day prior. It had been in the dealership’s possession at that time for 66 days and in total, my vehicle had been in their possession for 78 days. During that time, I was informed that the Service Advisor that I had worked with was eliminated because of his handling of my case. I was told that the Shop Foreman was working on my vehicle and that it had been escalated to an engineer that manufactures the transmission, but no one was able to find a resolution for my car switching into n

- Date Of Incident: 2019-07-26
- Date Complaint: 2021-05-28
- VIN: SALVP2RX9KH
- Components: ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
- Summary: While driving on the interstate I released the cruise and slowed down when coming up on an 18 wheeler. When it was clear I began to change lanes to the left and tried to accelerate but the engine would not respond. About 5 or 6 seconds later it finally responded. This has happened about a dozen times at random. It has been in the dealers shop 6 times for this issue. The usually update the software and call it good but it keeps on happening. I had it in the shop this past January 2021 and a tech from Range Rover worked on it for about 1 1/2 weeks upgrading the software and said it was fixed. It happened 2 times since then so back to the shop I went. They returned the car on the 4th day stating they could not make the car shut down and there were no codes. I don’t know about you but it’s very stressful when you are driving in heavy traffic on Interstate 4 near Orlando and your car shuts done for a few seconds. I read on the internet where other people are having similar issues. I think something needs to be done before there is a tragic accident because Range Rover acts like they don’t know what everyone is talking about.

Congratulations on your purchase of the Evogue! It's great to hear that you've been enjoying it for the past three months. The 2 litre turbo engine sounds like it provides plenty of power when you need it. While the rear window may have a restricted view, it's good to know that you still feel safe while driving. The 9 gear automatic gearbox is impressive, allowing the engine to rev to only 1700 revs at 100kph. The car's handling and turning circle are also noteworthy. It's great to hear that the car has performed well in both rural and city driving. Thank you for sharing your experience with us!

I completely agree that LR should offer the 190 hp diesel 6 spd manual Evoque in the US. It's a shame that this model is not available here, especially considering how much better it is compared to the US spec quirky automatic. I had military sales order a German spec model and it was a pleasure to drive. The car gets about 40 mpg on the autobahn and will run a steady 120 mph all day. Visibility is not a problem and the back-up camera is a must. LR should definitely consider bringing this model to the US, especially since VW has been successful in bringing over their diesels.

Let me start by saying how much I love this car! It's super stylish and comfortable, and the design is just wonderful. The vehicle is full of thoughtful additions, and as a daily driver, it really shines. The electronics are workable, but could be improved. Off-road, this car is amazing, and even though it doesn't have a low transfer case, it's extremely capable. However, clearance can be an issue, especially when the car is loaded up with camping equipment. The 4wd system is easy to use and very effective. We've driven it on all kinds of terrain, from mud-ruts to snow, and it's been unbelievable. Now, onto the cons. The cost of ownership is a bit of a letdown, and I suspect this is true for the entire Land Rover/Range Rover range. Unless you're a millionaire with lots of time or someone to look after your cars, you're going to get frustrated. The car always seems to need to go into the shop for something, and getting it serviced is a nightmare. On our last road trip, we had to have it serviced between trips due to a check engine light, and then the light came on again during the second trip. Unfortunately, getting a service appointment took nearly two months, and each service always took way too long. The previous service took a week, and they didn't even look at the vehicle for nearly three days. Overall, though, I still love this car and would recommend it to anyone who can handle the cost of ownership and the occasional service headache.Why not book it in for work when you can fulfill the request in a timely manner? Additionally, the cost can be quite high. If you can average out of service costs for less than $1,000, you are lucky! However, my experience is not unique. I was talking to another owner in particular who really started to make me think about changing. He said, 'When you own a Land Rover/Range Rover, you need to buy two - one for the repair shop while you drive the other and vice versa.'

The frequent engine issues caused by the thermostat problem have persisted despite multiple attempts to fix them. As a result, I have filed a claim under the lemon law. Additionally, there have been some minor issues occurring every 2-3 months. It is important to note that the Evoque has been unstable.

Hi there! I've had my 2016 Evoque for 2 years now, but unfortunately, I've been experiencing some issues with the engine light coming on every 1 or 2 months. Although it's frustrating to have to bring it in for repairs so frequently, the service advisor at the dealership knows me well by now. I wanted to share my experience with you, as I've never written a review before. If you're considering purchasing a Range Rover, please be cautious and do your research. I hope this helps!

I have experienced the same issues and problems that other reviewers have mentioned. My car has been in the dealer for service fees multiple times, and in the first year alone, it was at the dealer for over a total of 6 weeks. When I had finally had enough, I called Land Rover National HQ to complain. They assured me that they would open a formal case file and get back to me quickly with an offer of resolution. However, I never received a call back, and despite my attempts to contact them over several weeks, I did not receive any return calls. Paying for a car that is unsafe and unreliable and that you can't drive is frustrating. As a result, I have decided to never purchase another Range Rover.
