09/06/18 I WAS STOPPED ,WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE, WAITING TO TURN LEFT BECAUSE THERE WAS ONCOMING TRAFFIC. SUDDENLY, WHILE I STILL HAD MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE. MY VEHICLE ACCELERATED AND I HAD TO VEER AND SWERVE TO MISS ONCOMING TRAFFIC. 09/07/18 IT WAS ABOUT 10:50 AM AND I WAS PREPARING TO PARK NEXT TO A STORE. AS I WAS ATTEMPTING TO PARK, AGAIN WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE, MY VEHICLE ACCELERATED OUT OF CONTROL AND I WAS THRUST UP THE CURB, ACROSS A SIDE WALK AND THRU THE STORE FRONT. EVEN THOUGH MY FOOT WAS ON THE BRAKE, IT WOULDN'T STOP. THERE WAS SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE TO MY VEHICLE AND THE STORE MY AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY. SUDDENLY THE VEHICLE SLOWED ON ITS OWN. IT WAS PLACED ON A TOW TRUCK AND DELIVERED TO THE H&H PREMIER AUTOMOTIVE IN OMAHA. LAND ROVER ENGINEERS AND MY INSURANCE COMPANY ARE INVESTIGATING MY CASE NUMBER WITH LAND ROVER IS 8000569280 I DO HAVE PICTURES IF YOU EMAIL ME I CAN ATTACH THEM TO THAT EMAIL. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS. I'M AFRAID RANGE ROVER WILL NOT ADMIT THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM BECAUSE IT WOULD BE A MAJOR RECALL BUT SOMEONE IS GOING TO BE KILLED IF THIS CONTINUES.

ON 9/22/2017 I PURCHASED A CERTIFIED PRE-OWNED(CPO) RANGE ROVER EVOQUE FROM DIMMITT LAND ROVER IN CLEARWATER. IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE PURCHASE, I BROUGHT UP SEVERAL ISSUES WITH THE VEHICLE TO INCLUDE A MISSING FRONT PASSENGER WINDOW TINT, 3 BLOWN SPEAKERS ON THE FRONT PASSENGER DOOR, PART OF THE A PILLAR FALLING OFF WHILE DRIVING, PROBLEMS WITH THE ECO START/STOP NOT WORKING, AND A TIRE THAT SOUNDED LIKE A TRACTOR TRAILER. SINCE 9/22/2017 I HAVE BEEN TO THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT SOME 6 TIMES, THE MOST RECENT ON JUNE 8TH 2018 FOR ECO START/STOP ISSUE AND THE AGAIN THE TIRE NOISE. NEITHER ONE WAS ADDRESSED AT ALL. I ALSO BROUGHT THE VEHICLE IN FOR SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE TWICE SINCE 9/22/2017 AND BOTH TIME THE MAINTENANCE REQUIRED A TIRE MANDATORY TIRE ROTATION AT 40,000 AND 50,000 MILES. ON NEITHER OCCASION WAS THE TIRE ROTATION DONE. I WAS FORCED TO CONDUCT THE TIRE ROTATION MYSELF ON 6/9/2018. I AM A DISABLED VETERAN WITH MULTIPLE MEDICAL CONDITIONS AND HAVE NO BUSINESS DOING LABOR WORK. THIS IS WHY I PAIED THEM TO DO THE WORK. THEY ALSO HAVE USED MY DISABILITY TO DISCRIMINATE AGAINST ME ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS GOING AS FAR AS USING PREDATORY TACTICS WITH MY DISABILITY TO TRY TO SELL ME OUT OF MY VEHICLE INSTEAD OF FIXING THE PROBLEM.

THE PERSON BEHIND ME SWIRVES OFF THE ROAD TO MISS ME. I AM STUCK IN THE MIDDLE OF HWY 17 (VERY BUSY) THE ROAD FOR 5 MINUTES TRYING TO REATART. MY ENGINE LIGHT IS NOW ON. I GET THE CAR TO START I IMMEDIATELY TURN AROUND TO GET MY CAR AND MY BABY HOME. I AM UP TO 55MPH STILL ON HWY 17 IN JACKSONVILLE NC. MY CAR LOOSES ALL POWER AND SHUTS OFF, AND THE CARS BEHIMD ME SLAMS ON BRAKES AND THERE AIR BAGS COME OUT. NOTHING WAS HIT, BUT IT WAS CLOSE. I TOOK IT TO LAND ROVER IN WILMINGTON NC THEY ARE SAYING IT IS THE VARIABLE VALVE TIMING CONTROL SOLENOID. THE MECHANIC RYAN TOLD ME THAT THIS HAPPENS A FEW TIMES A YEAR, AND HE HAS WORKED ON MANY WITH THE SAME ISSUE. MY CAR ONLY HAS 60,000 MILES ON IT, AND SHOULD NOT HAVE THIS ISSUE. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN OF MINE, ME AND MY CHILD COULD HAVE BEEN HURT. I CONTACTED CORPORATE JAGUAR LAND ROVER AND TOLD THEM OF THE ISSUE I HAD AND THEY SAID THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO. THIS IS A REOCCURRING ISSUE, AND NOTHING IS BEING DONE ABOUT IT, AND IF I WOULDNT HAVE THOUGHT FAST DURING MY INCIDENT I COULD HAVE LOST MY LIFE OR EVEN WORSE MY CHILDS.

THE PASSENGER HEADLIGHT WENT OUT ON MY 2015 EVOQUE AT 24,280 MILES. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE RANGE ROVER DEALER WHERE I BOUGHT THE CAR. THE SERVICE ADVISOR SAID THE TECHNICIAN FOUND A TECHNICAL BULLETIN REGARDING "HALOGEN BULBS MAY HAVE BLOWN AT LOW TIME IN SERVICE". THIS IS DUE TO LOW RESISTANCE IN WIRING HARNESS. DEALER REPLACED THE WIRING HARNESS AND BULB UNDER WARRANTY. I BELIEVE THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE THAT THE MANUFACTURER WAS AWARE OF BUT DID NOT NOTIFY ME IN ADVANCE IN ORDER TO GET THE WIRING HARNESS REPLACED PRIOR TO THE BULB FAILURE.

NHTSA ODI 10981365

KEYLESS START - SIGNAL BEING JAMMED BY CELL PHONE. IN ADDITION TO ANOTHER RECENT ISSUE OF PARKING BRAKE ENGAGING AT START AND WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. LAND ROVER CANNOT FIND ERROR CODES IN SOFTWARE AND IS NOT ABLE TO SEE OR RESOLVE THE ISSUE. LAND ROVER NOTED THAT OTHER PEOPLE HAVE HAD THE CELL PHONE JAMMING ISSUES. LAND ROVER IS AWARE BUT, THERE IS NO FIX AT THIS TIME. I'VE HAD THE VEHICLE FOR MORE THAN 2 YEARS AND THE PROBLEM HAS DEVELOPED OVER THE LAST 3-4 MONTHS TIME FRAME. I NEED HELP WITH FIGURING OUT THE PROBLEM - IF ITS AN APPLICATION ON MY PHONE OR RECENT APPLE SOFTWARE UPDATE. LOGICAL REASONING TELLS ME THAT THE ISSUE IS COMING FROM MY PHONE IF LAND ROVER CANNOT FIND A "TECHNICAL" ISSUE ON THEIR END. LAND ROVER SHOULD HAVE SECURITY THAT WOULD PREVENT THIS FROM HAPPENING THOUGH. IF THIS IS SOME TYPE OF HARASSMENT, I WANT TO GET TO THE BOTTOM OF IT. CAN YOU HELP ME?

TAKATA RECALL, ON THURSDAY , 7-7-16 I TOOK MY VEHICLE IN FOR ITS 40,000 MILE CHECK UP/OIL CHANGE/UPDATE. LAND ROVE/ NIELLO IN ROCKLIN, CA KEPT MY CAR DUE TO ADDITIONAL NEEDS SUCH AS ECO STOP MALFUNCTION. WHEN RETURNING THE RENTAL ON WEDNESDAY THE 13TH THE SERVICE MANAGER [XXX] HAD ME PAY AND SIGN MY 5 PAGE RECEIPT/ INSPECTION. AT THIS TIME [XXX] MENTIONED THAT THE BRAKES WERE GETTING LOW AND NEEDED TO BE CHANGED FOR NEW BRAKES OR THE CALIBERS/ROTORS COULD DAMAGE, WHICH IS NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY. THE DEALERSHIP HAD 3 WHOLE BUSINESS DAYS TO INFORM ME ABOUT BRAKE PADS BEING LOW BUT FAILED TO DO SO IN A TIMELY MANNER. THEN WHEN CHECKING OUT THEY TOLD ME I COULD HAVE THE BRAKES REPLACED IN MY HOMETOWN PROVIDING ME THE PARTS NUMBER. THE VERY NEXT MORNING I WAS DRIVING IN MOTION ESTIMATING 15 MPH. ON A 25 MPH STREET I LIVE ON, DEGARMO AND ESPLANADE. I TRIED TO PRESS THE BRAKES BUT NOTHING HAPPENED THE BRAKE WENT TO THE FLOOR. IMMEDIATELY I HAD LES SCHUAB TIRES MEASURE THE BRAKE/ROTORS/CALIBERS. THE TIRE CENTERS MEASUREMENTS DIFFERED THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AT ROCKLIN. MANAGER FROM LES SHCUAB TOLD ME THESE PARTS HAPPEN OVER TIME NOT RESULTING FROM A SUDDEN CRASH. I COPIED THE MEASUREMENTS AND ASKED LAND ROVER ROCKLIN AND THE CUSTOMER SERVICE DEPARTMENT OF NORTH AMERICA TO SEE THE DIFFERENCE IN MEASUREMENTS SINCE IT CAUSED MY CRASH AND I PAID OUT OF WARRANTY FOR EVERYTHING WHICH SHOULD HAVE BEEN COVERED. THEY TURNED DOWN THE OFFER TO REVIEW MY PAPERWORK. SINCE THE CRASH THE SAFETY RECALL P091: OR (NHTSA) 16V- SINCE THE CRASH THE SAFETY RECALL P091(NHTSA16V-614 HAS CAME OUT AND THE DEALERSHIP FINALLY HAS CLAIMED TO DO UPDATES & FIX THE ISSUE I HAD TO GET AAA TO TOW ME DOWN AFTER THE ISSUE WORSENED ON VEHICLE. THEY HAVE BEEN IN MY OPINION NEGLIGENT, UNETHICAL, UN-PROFESSIONAL. BY REPORTING THIS I HOPE TO PREVENT THIS FROM HAPPENING IN A WORSE CIRCUMSTANCE.

MY CAR HAS BEEN IN 4 TIMES WITH THE SAME ISSUE, THE VEHICLE WILL RANDOMLY SHUT ITSELF OFF, I.E. THE CAR SHUTS OFF, THE TRANSMISSION MOVES TO PARK. IT IS NOT ECOSTART OR FROM MY UNBUCKLING THE SEATBELT. THIS HAPPENS WHEN I AM TURNING INTO PARKING SPACES AND IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE VEHICLE STOPS, OCCURRENCE IS 20+ TIMES NOW. THE FAULT WILL NOT SAVE IN THE COMPUTER AND LAND ROVERS ENGINEERS HAVE ADMITTED ITS PROBABLY A SOFTWARE GLITCH BUT CANNOT FIX IF IT DOESN'T SHOW IN COMPUTER. I HAVE ATTEMPTED BUYBACK PROCESS WITH LAND ROVER WITH THEM ADMITTING MY CAR HAS "INHERENT DEFECTS" THEY WILL NOT BUY THE VEHICLE BACK, ARE UNABLE TO FIX THIS AND OTHER ISSUES WITH THE VEHICLE. LAND ROVER CLAIMS THE ISSUE DOES NOT AFFECT DRIVEABILITY.

WHEN FUELING THE VEHICLE, THE FUEL HANDLE CONSTANTLY STOPS DUE TO A VEHICLE DESIGN DEFECT. IT CAN SOMETIMES TAKE TEN TO FIFTEEN ATTEMPTS TO COMPLETE THE FUELING OF THE VEHICLE. THE PROBLEM IS THAT YOU CAN NEVER KNOW WHEN THE FUEL TANK IS FULL SO THAT WHILE FUELING THE VEHICLE THE TANK CAN OVER FILL AND OVER FLOW CAUSING THE EXCESS FUEL TO GET ALLOVER YOUR HAND, THE SIDE OF THE CAR AND THE GROUND. THIS CAN RUIN THE FINISH OF THE VEHICLE BUT EVEN MORE IMPORTANTLY; THERE IS A DANGER THAT A SPARK OF ANY KIND CAN IGNITE THE EXCESS FUEL AND CAUSE AN EXPLOSION. I HAD REPORTED THIS TO THE DEALER SOON AFTER I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IN LATE 2014, THEY KNOW ABOUT THE PROBLEM BUT HAD NO SOLUTION. I HAVE GROWN TIRED AND AFRAID OF THIS SO I REPORTED IT TODAY DIRECTLY TO RANGE ROVER CUSTOMER SERVICE (BRIDGETTE) AND SHE SAID THAT THEY ALSO KNEW ABOUT THE PROBLEM AND ARE STILL WORKING ON IT OVER A YEAR LATER. THERE IS NO CURRENT FIX AND I BELIEVE THAT THE NHTSA SHOULD LOOK INTO IT BEFORE THERE IS A FATAL ACCIDENT.

IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC FOR APPROXIMATELY 20 MINUTES THE RANGE ROVER'S ECO MODE WAS ENGAGING PROPERLY AND SHUTTING DOWN THE ENGINE. IT HAD BEEN RESTARTING PROPERLY HOWEVER IN ONE INSTANCE THE VEHICLE DID NOT RESTART AND THE 'D' INDICATOR FLASHED. THIS LEFT THE VEHICLE DISABLED IN THE MIDDLE LANE OF TRAFFIC. RESTARTING THE ENGINE SOLVED THE PROBLEM HOWEVER THIS COULD HAVE BEEN DANGEROUS IF I HAD BEEN UNABLE TO REENGAGE 'DRIVE.'
