Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Driving on the main hwy when I noticed that a indicated light appeared on the dashboard transmission fault traction reduced . The car didn't handle any different so I immediately contacted the dealer via phone. Spoke to the service adviser who stated to pull off the road, turn off the motor and after a few mins restart it and that should clear the fault. If not, just make an appt for service. Unfortunately the problem was not cleared using the above restarting procedure. …”
NHTSA complaint #10715256, filed 2015-05, 31,500 miles“While driving in rainy weather for approximately one hour, I went to accelerate to pass a car and there was a loss of power, amber waning light came on, engine light came on and I could not go faster than 35 MPH. This could have caused a serious accident but I was able to slow down enough to get back in the slow lane. Car had to be towed to dealer the next day. The loner evoque they gave me did the same thing in rainy weather on september 16, 2012.”
NHTSA complaint #10478209, filed 2012-10, 7,080 miles“While driving, vehicle looses power. This is an intermittent problem and can not be predicted. No signs or signals that there is a problem before car stalls. Very scary and dangerous situation. Almost got struck from behind. Pulled over, turned vehicle off, then back on and restarted and drove with no issues. This has happened numerous times. Usually happens after deescalation of speed, like exiting expressway but has happened while driving on a city street. Took vehicle to Land Rover and was told if there weren't any messages displayed, there was nothing wrong.”
