2015 Evoque cam failed and ruined the engine at 68k miles. The cost of the repair exceeds the value of the car (about $17k). No one will fix it for this reason. It shifted into neutral unexpectedly causing a potential traffic hazard. It was impossible to move it out of the roadway without the assistance of a tow truck (parking brakes lock, and gear selector becomes useless.) After some research this seems to be a fairly common known issue. This is very unsafe, and financially devasting on a financed car. There were no warnings and no prior issues up to the time of incident.

My 2015 Range rover evoque with 52,000 miles on it, lost power while driving on the freeway. I was unable to accelerate and keep up with traffic even with the gas pedal complete to the floor. On roadways that had hills, I would lose speed causing traffic to back up behind me. The check engine also came on. When I took it to the auto repair shop I was told that the turbo charger had failed and needed to be replaced. The estimate was $6275.

The turbocharger has gone out and the vehicle has less than 60K miles on it. How can this be possible" aren't land rovers a high end vehicle??" there is no reason that my american made car is older than this vehicle and I have had no costly repairs on it. Someone needs to review these turbochargers and ensure a better quality because these cars are too expensive as it is and now to fix this I need to pay over $3000!!! it's not right! the vehicle will accelerate slowly and drive rough when gears are changing. The codes we get are for the turbo charger.

I was driving on the highway going approximately the speed limit of 75 mph when all the sudden the car began making a knocking noise & started losing power and rapidly decelerating out of my control. My rpms began running 7K+ and I needed to jam down on the gas pedal in order to try and maintain speed and avoid an accident, which worked for a second and actually allowed me to gain back speed. However, with the gas all the way down it only kept speed for a short period until the check engine light popped on and I began dropping down speed again. I could not maintain speed. I immediately changed to the right lane and was able to pull over at a rest stop. I read the manual, and according to the warning transmission signal which displayed, my car may be driven but performance may be reduced and I should immediately take it into a dealer, which I did. I was later told by an authorized dealer that 'my turbo had blown' with cracks along with a destroyed solenoid and other parts relating to the speed of my car. It currently has under 80K miles and is in the repair shop as we speak. It has had routine maintenance and just underwent service care (replaced oil/ oil filter, transmission fluid, etc) less than 2 months ago. The total estimated repair cost relating to this safety concern is roughly $5,200 usd from an authorized dealer (a new turbo, solenoid, labor, etc).

((((exact same story as another report filed: NHTSA id number:11076170))). I got to a red light, turned green I go, get up to 25mph, car cuts out (complete loss of power). Engine light is now on. I get the car to start I immediately turn around to get home. * my car looses all power and shuts off in the freeway home. * I finally get the vehicle home, and my husband ran diagnostics. - the computer is saying it is the variable valve timing control solenoid issue. * my car only has @80,000 miles on it, and should not have this issue.. **this is a huge safety concern. * I haven't contacted corporate Jaguar Land Rover yet. This seems to be a very big reoccurring issue, with this year/make/model, and it seems like Land Rover is doing nothing about it.. looks like it may be time to lawyer up, and set up a class action!. semper fidelis

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.

Gearbox fault. I drive a new Range rover evoque, model 2015. The first time I had this problem with the vehicle was in October, 2014, only a month after taking the car out of the dealership. While driving the vehicle, it suddenly and abruptly stopped in the middle of a busy road. Cars behind me had to stop abruptly, almost hitting my car and pedestrians. My vehicle accused a gearbox fault, and the gearbox was blocked. I could not shift gears, the vehicle was stuck for over half an hour, and I had to restart the car several times to be able to drive it again. My car was then taken to Land Rover service for repair. When the vehicle was returned to me, however, the gearbox problem persisted. The same gearbox problem happen again two more times in June, 2015. In the last times I was inside my garage. I got in the car and started the vehicle, but I could not shift gears. The gearbox was blocked again, accusing the gearbox fault, and the car was stuck. This time it had to be towed away to Land Rover service. In the last time Land Rover repaired my vehicle, a new software was installed. The service representative stated that there is a recall in the United States for the evoque model. Apparently, Land Rover used faulty gearboxes, and is now offering a software upgrade to all vehicles of that model to fix the faulty gearboxes. Over 36,000 thousand vehicles were recalled outside the U.S. for the software upgrade, after the problem was reported in the media. But I found no confirmation of the recall in the United States. Land Rover did not contact us about the recall before, and was unable to answer whether or not it is an effective solution to the gearbox fault problem with the evoque model.
