2015 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque Engine Problems

“Just purchased my car in july 2018. Was a previous leased car with reguiar maintenance. I was driving on the highway and my car suddenly would not shift gears no pickup in the car. Luckily I was able to pull to side of the road to prevent an accident and turn car off and back on again. Check engine light came on. Was able to drive to an authorized Land Rover dealer to which they state turbocharger has an internal defect and a common problem with my make and model car.”

“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.

The vehicle will accelerate slowly and drive rough when gears are changing. The codes we get are for the turbo charger.”

“The turbo failed at 42000 miles, was replaced under warranty by range rover of portland. The turbo has failed again at 84000 miles.

Bills $4500 and am out of warranty since nov 2020. Common problem ??? How can a 5 yr old 50k vehicle have a common problem that costs $4500 to fix ? My research show Land Rover was always aware of this turbo failure issues and never attempted to fix it. …”

“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. …”
