Our 2014 Land Rover Evoque has a gear knob (gear shifter) located on the console. The gear knob changes by itself from drive, to neutral, to park. Dangerous! We identified this as part of a safety recall and took it to the dealer for repair. They updated the software and sent us on our way. After the same issue occurring several times, we took it back to the dealer at which time the stated we need a new transmission for over $17,000!!! The vehicle last showed only 35,000 miles! We have begged and pleaded our case with the dealer and repeatedly with Land Rover USA with no satisfactory resolution.

Recall P091 - our vehicle was not included in this recall however it suffers from the same dangerous safety issue. The vehicle shuts down while driving, even doing 70mph on the freeway. It appears to shift into neutral, with the dash saying "gearbox fault" and the gear shifter locking up. The car no longer revs and we have to coast to the side of the road. Very dangerous and we have had several near misses, including with a semi truck on the freeway. Landrover have done five (5) failed repair attempts via two separate dealerships. The problem remains unresolved. We have replaced the gearbox and turbo at landrovers suggestion of this being the issue; the car was not fixed by this. We believe that the car should have been included in the recall. This car is a deathtrap and landrover are refusing to do anything about it. We have 14 failed repairs on this vehicle in total, with landrover suggesting we pay for a 15th repair at a cost to us of almost $30,000. This would be the sixth (6th) repair attempt on this same issue alone. The car is riddled with numerous other issues. We have multiple videos of this issue taken over several break downs due to the same issue as the recall. This has happened over a dozen times, usually when the car is in motion, however it has happened upon starting the car, driving slowly on streets, and driving on the freeway at 70mph. We have all of the repair records documenting this but there are too many to upload here.

The car went into neutral while driving, showing a gear box failure warning. We stopped the car and turned off the engine. After turning off the engine, and restarting after a several minute wait, we resumed driving and the vehicle came to a sudden screeching halt and would not move. The error message again stated gear box failure. We had the car towed to the dealer.

The contact owns a 2014 Range rover evoque. The contact stated that the vehicle shifted gears independently. On one occasion, the vehicle independently shifted out of the park gear and into reverse, causing the contact to crash into a curb. As a result, the tire blew out and also crashed into another vehicle. The vehicle was towed to a dealer where it was diagnosed that the software update to the transmission needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. There were no injuries and a police report was not filed. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 10,000. The VIN was not available.
