Land Rover Range Rover Evoque 2019 — Reported problems

Backup camera became inoperable after a car wash and water leaked into the electrical components. This is already a current issue and many models have been recalled, but my year, 2019 has not been included. I can no longer view anything while backing up the video and the dash continues to flash Camera System Default. Please consider adding 2019 Evoques to the existing recall.

The fuel tank protective shield underneath my vehicle has severely rusted and corroded, with visible perforations forming through the metal (photos attached). This shield protects the fuel tank from road debris and also helps secure the tank to the vehicle. The corrosion appears to be caused by galvanic corrosion: the steel fuel tank shield is bolted directly to an aluminum heat shield, and the contact between these dissimilar metals accelerates corrosion of the steel component. This is a known issue affecting numerous vehicles of this make and model, suggesting a design defect. Safety concerns: The shield is structural — it helps hold the fuel tank in place. Continued deterioration could compromise the tank's mounting and lead to the tank dropping or shifting. As the shield fails, the fuel tank itself becomes exposed to road debris that could puncture it, creating a fuel leak and fire hazard. There were no warning lights, messages, or symptoms inside the vehicle. The damage was only discovered during a visual inspection underneath the vehicle. The component is available for inspection upon request. UNKNOWN whether the manufacturer has issued any formal acknowledgment, but the failure pattern is consistent across many owner reports.

The steel fuel tank shield and mounting cradle assembly on my Land Rover Range Rover (L405) is experiencing catastrophic structural failure due to excessive corrosion. This appears to be a result of galvanic corrosion between the steel cradle and the aluminum chassis components. The corrosion has caused the metal straps and support brackets to rot through completely, compromising the physical security of the fuel tank. This poses an unreasonable safety risk, as the fuel tank is no longer properly supported and is at risk of detaching from the vehicle while in motion. Furthermore, the jagged, rusted edges of the failing shield are in direct contact with the fuel tank, creating a potential puncture hazard and subsequent fire risk. This is a known structural defect within the L405 community, often resulting in immediate vehicle grounding during safety inspections due to the risk of fuel system detachment.

I was driving on the highway during heavy rain and there was a huge leak coming through the window in the backseat started dripping all over the seat and all over the seatbelts spreading above head into the front. I immediately pulled over because it scared me. I was scared it was going to continual leaking into the front steering and airbags

Driving down the road and the vehicle lost all fuel pressure and engine shut off in the middle of the road. Turns out to be a catastrophic Bosch CP4 failure. Thankfully I was not on the highway otherwise this likely would've caused an accident because besides steering and brakes i had no way to get the car out of the road and probably wouldn't have made it to the shoulder on the 5 lane highway. My safety was put at risk by having to sit on a busy road unable to move the car hoping no one came up and hit me. The issue has been confirmed by my independent service center. The component has not been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance or anyone else besides my mechanic. The battery light and check engine light came on approximately 2 seconds before the car died in the road. Other than than that no symptoms

The rear gas tank has started to rust and creates a safety issue since the metal shield is a different material it creates a galvazing effect on the metals due to them being seperate materials

Dealership reported at last service that the metal guard plate protecting the fuel tank is rusting and poses a safety hazard. This is a known defect with this model/vehicle.

While driving my 2019 Range Rover Evoque on the highway on [XXX], the headliner on my vehicle just suddenly collapsed, hitting me in the head while driving and blocking my view of my rear windshield and rear view mirror and startling me almost causing a serious accident at 70 miles per hour. Something like this should not happen on a car that is just a few years old and has less than 30k miles on it. The adhesive in the headliner just simply failed and the whole thing collapsed. I called my Land Rover Dealership and they just stated that the warranty expired 2 years ago and nothing they can do. So then I called Land Rover corporate at 1800-637-6837 option 9 and they told me they can't help either unless I take it to dealership and spend $300 to get a diagnostic report from them. Then they may or may not assist me. I brought to their attention that the model year 2020 Range Rover Evoque has 2 current recalls for the same issue, Failing headliner and headliner built missing materials and since the body on the 2019 and 2020 are exactly the same the recall should cover this as well, but they refuse and say it goes by year and VIN and 2019 is not covered under the recall. The recalls in mention are: Recall N412 (19V-840) and Recall N454. These need to be expanded to cover 2019 or a new recall needs to be added, because the issue of a suddenly collapsing headliner while driving is a serious and potentially fatal matter. Not sure how you can help but something needs to be done because this is a danger to life and property. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

“Gearbox Fault” error popped on dash. Vehicle stopped changing gears while driving. Went into limp mode. Toward to Land Rover dealership. Technician states that there is a fault inside the TCM module within the transmission. Which caused the transmission to fail.

incident # 11633408 December 30, 2024 The car was serviced due to a faulty door latch. Pd $1200.00 Two days later the passenger door flew open, and would not close. After 10 minutes I finally got the door to close fully.2 days later, the same door opened and almost hit shoppers in a parking lot. This continued until I did not use the passenger door at all. I returned the car to the dealership. Diagnosis..they had installed a faulty door latch again! This issue has been on recall. yet my car in number was not part of the recall so I had to pay for it. This is a huge safety issue. I shouldn't have to worry about a door flying open when operating it.Jaguar/Range Rover seems not to care since my vin number was not part of the recall. Plus, the dealership said my windshield now leaks, (again a recall) but not my vin number. Can someone assist me with my car that is having serious safety issues?

Saw a recall for coolant lines on other land rover models but they have the same engine as my model. Land rover says my vin is not covered but it is doing exactly the same thing as the recalled models. I am losing coolant and can smell it through the vents into the cabin. I believe the issue extends beyond the initial models they stated. I believe it is a common issue with these particular engines. The 5.0L and the 3.0L.

Incident #. 11633354 2 invoices attached $1232.20 Faulty door latch, camera, mirrors, alarm issues A recall was issued for this problem on 2019 evoque N335 19v-392

The contact owns a 2019 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque. The contact stated that upon attempting to lock the doors using the remote control or from inside the vehicle, the doors failed to lock as designed. The contact also stated that the rearview camera, and the driver’s and passenger’s side mirrors were not functioning using the controls on the inside of the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to a local dealer to be diagnosed, and the contact was informed that the door latch switch was faulty and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 40,500.

All four doors either are not locking when i lock the doors or they are not unlocking when i hit the unlock button. This cause the door to appear closed while not fully latched, potentially opening while driving. There is already a recall for this issue for my year and model but my VIN is not on the list.

I own the above Land Rover Range Rover. While driving on the highway I heard a loud pop and then found that the interior glass panel of the sunroof was completed shattered into thousands of pieces. The sunroof is composed of two pieces of glass. The exterior glass was not affected. I did nothing to cause this to occur. I found reports online of similar occurrences. The sunroof was inspected by my local Range Rover dealer in Jackson, MS who had no explanation of how this happened or could happen. I was told I would be responsible for the repair. It has yet to be repaired.

The the top of the windshield leaks. The windshield has actually pulled away from the body of the car and needs to be completely resealed. This is a well known and recall problem for 2015 to 2018 Land Rover Evokes. My Evoke is a 2019 thus dose not fall under the recall, yet its the same issue. There are many other people with this complaint which can be seen with a quick Google search on this issue. My dealership has straight out told me that my year is not in the recall, although same problem, its not a recall item because my year is not included in the recall. I am asking that you expand the current recall for leaking windshields form 2015 to 2022 (i say 2022 because on line, there seems to be an on going issue until 2022. Not to mention, this issue drastically diminishes the safety integrity of the vehicle roll over safety / security / strength. Thanks you.

The "3rd" brake light on Range Rovers, which are mounted under/on the SUV's rear spoiler, can detach and fly off at highway speeds, especially if any level of vibration is encountered. This high, center-mounted brake light is merely held in place with smooth clips that rely on friction to fasten them; there are no bolts, screws, pins, or even adhesive to securely fasten it. It can easily be removed from its frame (the rear spoiler) with just a slight amount of force. This is, in my opinion, a hazard to other drivers who may be following behind these SUVs.

Malfunction Indicator Lamp illuminated with VCT diagnostic trouble codes stored in module; increased induction noise while driving; reduction in performance; and camshaft over speed. This was covered in N481 but has expired. I have owned my vehicle since June 2020 and was not notified of this Service Action Notice by my dealer or Range Rover. The last 6 numbers of my VIN falls within the range of vehicles affected by this notice; I.e., 255258-354248. This is a known safety hazard and it needs to be covered for the vehicle owners affected by this issue without expiration.

Placed car into park by moving gare dial from drive to Park. Got out of car and car started moving back and I was knocked down by the door and dragged by the car on the driveway. Suffered torn shin with 7 stiches to muscle and 14 stiches, broken foot and lacreations all over the back. 13 year old in the car pushed the off button to turn car off.

During heavy rain or snow, there is water intrusion coming through the center of windshield. this water lands on my center console where a lot of my controls and they shouldn't be getting wet.

Three issues so far: 1) pulled over to close back door when warning light came on. Turned knob to put in park got out to secure back door. Vehicle began to back up., knocked me down and ran over my leg. Keep rolling until it was stop by a curb. 2) windshield started leaking after going through car wash. 3) both vanity covers on visors broke off 2 weeks apart. Plastic inferior “knobs” break without even using much. Never use passenger side and it broke 1st!

While driving on the interstate I released the cruise and slowed down when coming up on an 18 wheeler. When it was clear I began to change lanes to the left and tried to accelerate but the engine would not respond. About 5 or 6 seconds later it finally responded. This has happened about a dozen times at random. It has been in the dealers shop 6 times for this issue. The usually update the software and call it good but it keeps on happening. I had it in the shop this past January 2021 and a tech from Range Rover worked on it for about 1 1/2 weeks upgrading the software and said it was fixed. It happened 2 times since then so back to the shop I went. They returned the car on the 4th day stating they could not make the car shut down and there were no codes. I don’t know about you but it’s very stressful when you are driving in heavy traffic on Interstate 4 near Orlando and your car shuts done for a few seconds. I read on the internet where other people are having similar issues. I think something needs to be done before there is a tragic accident because Range Rover acts like they don’t know what everyone is talking about.

While driving on a clear day on a Virginia State Highway at about 50 mph on Sunday, May 16, 2021, my wife and I heard and felt a very loud explosion as if the car had been hit by a very large object. We observed no immediate damage, saw no debris bounce off the car and the car that was closely following us made no evasive movements as if there was debris in their path. We stopped within a few hundred yards and noticed that the rear 10 inches or so of the moonroof had simply exploded. The glass was buckled up and shattered. We were not injured and the car functioned normally. We are taking it to the Range Rover dealer this morning and they advise me it is not covered by the warranty. My insurance company, USAA, will most likely pay the cost of repair, which is estimated at $5500. I am convinced this was caused by a defect in the glass or faulty design or manufacture. In my view, this is a serious defect with the potential to cause serious injury.

I EXPERIENCED AN UNINTENDED POWERED ROLLAWAY. SPECIFICALLY, AS I WAS REVERSING OUT OF MY GARAGE, I NOTICED SOMETHING ON THE GROUND SO I PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK TO PICK IT UP. WHEN I EXITED THE VEHICLE, I WAS STANDING IN THE WEDGE BETWEEN THE DRIVER'S SEAT AND THE OPEN DRIVER'S DOOR, AND THE CAR UNEXPECTEDLY ROLLED IN REVERSE. I DID NOT HEAR OR SEE ANY WARNINGS AT ANY TIME THAT ALERTED ME THAT I WAS IN ANY DANGER. I QUICKLY TRIED TO GET BACK INTO THE CAR TO STOP IT (MY 4-YR-OLD SON WAS INSIDE) AND, WHEN TRYING TO GET BACK IN, I WAS PUSHED OUT, FELL TO THE GROUND, AND FOUND MYSELF FIGHTING WITH THE DOOR AND THE TIRE COMING TOWARD MY HEAD AND BODY. I STUCK MY RIGHT HAND INTO THE CAR TO PRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL WITH MY HAND. ULTIMATELY, MY RIGHT HAND FELL OUT OF THE CAR, AND THE CAR ROLLED OVER AND CRUSHED IT. THE DRIVER'S DOOR HIT MY HEAD, WHICH CAUSED A CONCUSSION AND BLEEDING. THE CAR DRAGGED ME FROM THE GARAGE INTO THE DRIVEWAY, CAUSING TIRE BURNS AND SCRAPES ON MY BODY. ULTIMATELY, THE CAR STOPPED WHEN IT ROLLED DOWN THE DRIVEWAY AND HIT A POST ACROSS THE STREET. I WAS THEN TRANSPORTED TO THE HOSPITAL IN AN AMBULANCE, WHERE THEY RAN MULTIPLE TESTS ON MY ENTIRE BODY AND DIAGNOSED MY CONCUSSION AND BROKEN HAND. I HAVE SINCE HAD TO UNDERGO RECONSTRUCTIVE SURGERY ON MY RIGHT, DOMINANT HAND AS THE BONES IN MY HAND WERE CRUSHED BY THE VEHICLE'S TIRE.
