What 49 owners told NHTSA about the 2012 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque (3-door)

When curving left, driving 50mph, the slightest bump, such as a lane marker makes the front passenger wheel bounce independently from the other three tires and makes the steering wheel shake. It's possible to lose control. The problem has been identified as a control arm. I have had this problem repaired 3 times. Why does this keep happening, specifically to that side? Repairs took place in 2016, 2018, 2024
