Land Rover Range Rover Evoque Questions & Answers

I had the same situation today at 130 km overtaking with a car coming straight for me with total loss of power John

Very Dangerous it could have been a disaster

Absolutely! And LR is not giving any fix to this problem, at least I couldn't find the resolution so far. Obviously, it's a design/system flaw.

Same problem here

Hello. I'm looking at purchasing this model range rover. Would you recommend and is this the only problem and did you get an answer why this happened thanks regards Chris

Hi yes service centre at Range Rover told that they upgraded software version (which connect battery to other unit of car). And since then working fine and no issue. I just drove for 4K km in last 4 months so too early to review but so far apart from this problem I am satisfied and it’s a good luxury car

Oops Range Rover not rebate lol

From the sun yes.

Hi Violeta. Im having similar issues, did you got any solutions for that ?

Hi, When my next service was due I mentioned and they checked all filters. It’s stopped. When I called them back they said they didn’t do anything, except open and closed back where the filters are. They didn’t even replaced the filters, they were still in good condition. I am not sure, maybe they closed properly or turned around the filter or they have done something dodge before and the didn’t want to admit. I don’t have that problem since then. I hope this will help. Violeta

Thanks

I also have the same issue and it's getting dangerous, Carwire12 did you fix yours?

Hi Darren, I xcan see your concern and given yours us a reject doors serues . I wondered if it could be something to do with the electronic seating like my 4 door variant has a motorised seating position which never gave a proble . I niow have a new Velar which is a larger vehicle for my purposes. An independent specialist in Land Tover or a good auto electrician along with the two good Land Tover owner forums are a good place to allay concerns Best Wishes Barry

Hi Fiona, I am sorry I cannot help you as I have had Electric windows on other makes for a longer period than that. Being aware that Land Rover repairs can be costly, See if you can get the selling dealer to rectify this as for the door, that is more technical to deal with. It may be worth investigating if the Global locking is correctly set through the scrollable panel (security/convenience features) on the dashboard activated by the buttons on the steering wheel whilst the vehicle is stationary of course. Otherwise the motorised apparatus may be faulty. I rarely use the electric window except when occasionally letting in fresh air at times

So sorry to hear that Karen but it's "quite normal" with Land Rover cars to go bust in just a few k's. I would love to help you but I don't know how unfortunately. They will never admit from my experience that anything is ever wrong with their car.

If you try legal way, that's usually useless, cost money but more in lost time than anything else.

I wish you all the best!!!!

Hi , so sorry to hear this news. Don't believe RR Evoke dealership or Company in UK would be pleased . Firstly , I would approach principal of dealership by registered letter / email stating problems with vehicle ( be polite ) and only out of warranty short period . Give dealership and UK company at least two weeks to reply with their response . In the 2nd instance I would also approach Consumer Affairs in your state . Free service / advice . I'm not a lawyer, however I believe a product has to be in working order especially due to price . It would be different if you purchased a low cost item like eg hair tongs and only cost approx $200 as this car is very expensive and that alone should help your cause . Truly find it hard to believe RR Evoke would just dismiss you as their brand is too important .

Good luck.

I know how you feel Karen, we purchased a brand new Range Rover Evoque in July 2017 and after 6 weeks it started to jump out of her whilst driving. Sine then our dealer Buckby Motors has had the vehicle 4times being a total of 19 weeks to date. The last time at Land Rover Australias request they installed a camera to capture the issue (as apparently our word was not enough) and now they still have the vehicle and no closer to a resolution. This is the second Evoque we have had an would never purchase another nor recommend to anyone. Land Rover Australia just want money and will not take responsibility for a dodgy product. We have now obtained a lawyer to act on our behalf as Consumer Affairs (I won't say Protection as they have been on no help at all) are absolutely useless.

Hi, mine's an SD4 Auto. Only time I lost power was when I inadvertently knocked the steering wheel gear paddle putting car in neutral. Have not experienced anything like what you're describing.

DPF Regeneration i found out and pretty sure thats the issue. anyone with a diesel should read about in the manual-

Hi, I'm in the process of buying a 2014 9speed auto. It's been over a week before I receive it that they have found a fault in loss of power twice. They've gone over it fully and can't find a problem, they've contacted land rover in the uk which they've sent the delearship a number of spec to go through to rectify the problem, no problem still comes up but once they drive it it happens of and on. I've driven it before pre delivery but it didn't happen to me so now I'm worried about buying a car with a fault they can't fix.

Hi, If its DPF related then it may or may not happen it all depends on how it's driven. Mine still does it occasionally so when it does do it i have to take it for a run on the freeway because i mainly do city driving. My mechanic- No longer use Landrover- puts an additive in the fuel on servicing and then i take that freeway drive.

just do a steady speed above 80km/h for 20-30 minutes.

Yes it's annoying and not something you should have to do but have heard of Nissan and VW drivers with the same issue. Changing to a Petrol car hopefully in the next year.

My Evoque is almost 3 years old and hasn't had a single issue. Sounds electrical fault, suggest back to dealer.

Sounds like an electrical issue, back to the dealer!

I've been driving the RR Evoque 2015 model for the last 10 months. I've had no issues with the gear box or for that matter any other part failure. Recently, LR updated the gearbox software to Q500, which removed a bit of lag I felt and made the gearbox change smoother and faster. There use to be a bit of lag/delay changing from reverse to Drive, but the new Q500 software has fixed that. I couldn't be any happier with my car. Its smooth, premium, and drivers very well.

My evoque is a 2015 dynamic turbo diesel 9-speed auto and I have had endless problems with this one. One week after collecting the brand new car it suddenly and abruptly broke down in Melbourne city centre. All warning lights and messages displayed and it would not change out of 2nd gear - remember this is an auto so

I was pretty stuck. Had to wait for a tow truck and be taken back to the dealer. After them sending error messages to LandRover and receiving advice back (this happened over a few days) they changed the electrical control box for the rear diff. They also ran the gear box upgrade (q450 at that time) and got the car back working fine.

A month later, it started to 'get stuck' in the lower gears - rev counter going up and up and up into red but no shift. Took the car back to LandRover and they did more error reporting. On advice from LRA they changed the whole auto transmission - a week later I picked up the car and everything seemed OK.

A few weeks passed and then the car started having a VERY long lag between input (I.e. Pressing accelerator) and the car actually moving - I've now had the q500 update and it hasn't really made much of a difference.

All my problems seem related to the transmission. In my opinion 9 gears are too much for the evoque's electronics to deal with - it never really knows which one it should be in. I will get rid of this car soon for a non-Land Rover replacement. It's sad because my 1st Evoque was a manual and I never had any problems - a fabulous car. I would not touch an auto - reliability is definitely an issue.
