What 130 owners told NHTSA about the 2015 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque (3-door)

I HAD BACKED IN TO THE GARAGE AND TURNED THE 'KNOB' TO PARK. THE VEHICLE WAS IN PARK, I HAD REMOVED MY SEATBELT BUT NOT EXITED THE CAR YET AND THE CAR WENT BACKWARDS WITH SOME FORCE AND BREAKING DIDN'T STOP IT, ONLY AFTER I HIT THE BUTTON TO CUT IT OFF, MULTIPLE TIMES, DID IT FINALLY SHUT DOWN. MY HUSBAND WAS BEHIND THE CAR, GETTING READY TO GET THE GROCERIES OUT OF THE REAR. THIS VEHICLE STRUCK HIM AND WENT THRU THE KITCHEN WALL OF OUR CONDO. HIS LEG WAS STUCK UNDER THE TIRE WHICH THAT WAS TURNING ON TOP OF HIS CALF. I AM ABSOLUTELY CERTAIN THE CAR WAS IN PARK BC NOT ONLY WAS THE KNOB SET AT P BUT ALSO THE P WAS ON THE SCREEN. ONLY CERTAIN BECAUSE I'M ALWAYS CAUTIOUS DUE TO THE PROXIMITY OF DISTANCE OF EVERYTHING IN THE GARAGE AND TIGHT QUARTERS.

THE ENGINE WAS RUNNING AND THE VEHICLE WAS IN PARK AND I EXITED THE VEHICLE. I WENT INSIDE AN ADJACENT BUILDING FOR APPROXIMATELY 1 MINUTE. I RETURNED TO THE VEHICLE AND OPENED THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE DOOR. I PICKED UP MY KEY FOB AND PRESSED THE IGNITION BUTTON TO TURN OFF THE ENGINE. WHEN THE ENGINE TURNED OFF THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO ROLL AWAY AND STRUCK A PARKED CAR AND PINNED ME BETWEEN THE VEHICLE AND THE OPENED PASSENGER SIDE DOOR. MY HAND WAS PRESSED BETWEEN THE CAR DOOR AND A LIGHT POLE IN THE PARKING LOT. THE TOW TRUCK DRIVER SAT IN THE DRIVER'S SEAT AND PRESSED THE ENGINE BUTTON AND THE GEAR SHIFTER EMERGED AND WAS IN THE PARK POSITION. THE TOW TRUCK DRIVER THEN SHIFTED THE VEHICLE TO NEUTRAL AND THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT MOVE. THE PARKING BRAKE CONTINUED TO ENGAGE AND THE TIRES WOULD NOT ROLL FREELY.

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.

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. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
