While driving my car on a road and attempting to merge onto a highway (I10) it lost the ability to accelerate. The vehicle would then not shift above 3rd gear (automatic). When I placed it manually into higher gears it tried to automatically downshift. I was unable to accelerate to merge onto the highway. I had to place on my four ways and make an emergency stop to avoid an accident causing a very unsafe driving situation. The dealership said that the turbo component had failed and needed to be replaced. After it was replaced I asked what had caused the failure and they said that nothing I did caused it. It is apparently a common issue for the turbo component to fail in the 2012-2014 models. I was not warned about this safety issue and they said it is caused by a known mechanical issue. They also said the replaced the turbo component with an alternate part number because the one originally in my vehicle fails so often they no longer use it. This occurs often enough they already had the part in stock. I think they should be forced to recall these faulty turbo parts. I have the service record if needed.

Engine misfires causing car to lose power and go into 'restricted mode'. this is very dangerous. It happened at high speed, making it very unsafe to pull over to the side of the highway - almost causing a multiple vehicle accident. Taken to dealer 3 times and they have not resolved the issue. Informed landrover usa about my concerns and they have not been helpful - saying take the vehicle back to the dealer and pay an additional $380 for diagnostics after already paying them $200 as the car is no longer under warranty. Vehicle has $59,250 miles. Other evoque owners also experience similar problems.
