Experiencing exhaust fumes in the cabin. failed state inspection after mechanic checked and found cracked exhaust manifold - less than 60,000 miles on vehicle. found similar issue on evoque forums. dealer indicates there is no recall on this issue. this is definitely a safety issue with carbon monoxide being funneled into the vehicle by a failed part, a part that should not be failing, at least, not cracking. i was wondering why i felt sick, sleepy, and suffered headaches and vomiting. there were no warning indicators illuminated. the mechanic stated that the fumes filled his garage and he had to work on the vehicle outside of garage in the parking lot. this should definitely be reason for a recall for a vehicle with low mileage and can cause death if vehicle is running inside the garage. there are numerous complaints filed about this dangerous issue.

Experiencing exhaust fumes in the cabin. dealer checked and found cracked exhaust manifold - less than 72,000 miles on vehicle. found similar issue on evoque forums. dealer indicates there is no recall on this issue. attached dealer diagnostic receipt. i feel this is a safety issue with carbon monoxide being funneled into the vehicle by a failed part, a part that should not be failing, at least, not cracking.
I took my car in to the land rover service dept where i purchased my vehicle because i smelled exhaust through the vents and i was getting headaches every time i drove. on my first visit they told me they could not find anything wrong. after a month of continued exhaust issues i took it to a different land rover service dept and they eventually found a hairline fracture in the turbo. they quoted me $6,500 for the repair and advised me that it was not covered by warranty. they told me to simply run my air/heater on manual versus automatic and drive with a window cracked. i am currently trying to find someone that will work on my evoque that could possibly weld the fracture rather than replacing the entire system but having difficulty. *tr
I was driving vehicle at about 65-70 mph on freeway for about one hour. exited freeway, stopped at traffic light. when leaving light, accelerated normal & instantly noticed there was very poor acceleration. the engine service light displayed & vehicle would not go over 35mph. i then pulled into parking lot, turned car off for 2 minutes, restarted & no change in problem. took car to dealership where i purchased & vehicle was fixed at no charge. *tr
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. *tr
On july 28, 2012 my mother and i were driving to new england from maryland through intermittent thunderstorms at speeds above 65 miles per hour. i attempted to accelerate to pass a vehicle when the engine began to lose power and took over 30 seconds to reach 40 miles per hour. i observed the speed warning light and the amber ?check engine? light come on. i tried to accelerate to pull off of the road but could only drive approximately 35-40 miles per hour until the next exit which was over 2 miles ahead (as cars unsafely had to suddenly stop behind me on i-95 as i maneuvered back into the right travel lane) since the vehicle would not go any faster. once off of the road (the rain had ceased) i turned off the vehicle and removed the 74 mile an hour speed warning and the amber ?check engine? lamp went off after ten minutes of driving. i resumed my trip through the on-and-off-again rain for another three hours and did not attempt to accelerate again. i later told my husband that i thought that the sudden slow engine acceleration and speed impediment was a function of the speed warning and assumed that to be the cause of the lack of speed and ability to accelerate. needless to say this was a frightening experience for me and my mother. on august 25th my husband and i were driving for over an hour in heavy rain and it happened again. unlike my experience, a warning message that said ?restricted performance? came up on the dashboard and the amber check engine light was on (there was also an amber hazard signal on the dashboard). when we pulled over, we looked in the owner?s manual under the following words: ?performance, engine, and warnings, to find the restricted performance warning and what it meant to no avail. the rain continued on this evening and we drove (slowly) home for the remaining 20 minutes while the check engine light remained red. *tr
