While driving my car on a road and attempting to merge onto a highway (i10) it lost the ability to accelerate. the vehicle would then not shift above 3rd gear (automatic). when i placed it manually into higher gears it tried to automatically downshift. i was unable to accelerate to merge onto the highway. i had to place on my four ways and make an emergency stop to avoid an accident causing a very unsafe driving situation. the dealership said that the turbo component had failed and needed to be replaced. after it was replaced i asked what had caused the failure and they said that nothing i did caused it. it is apparently a common issue for the turbo component to fail in the 2012-2014 models. i was not warned about this safety issue and they said it is caused by a known mechanical issue. they also said the replaced the turbo component with an alternate part number because the one originally in my vehicle fails so often they no longer use it. this occurs often enough they already had the part in stock. i think they should be forced to recall these faulty turbo parts. i have the service record if needed.
Sounds like they are very aware or ltb00795nas1. a technical bulletin involving the "active on demand coupling oil pump" that just happens to mess up on specific cars from a specific plant at with no fault to the driver, yet this is not a recall?? i called lr usa and the representative said it did not meet the standards of a recall, whatever that means.
My evoque only 3 years 63,000 miles and the turbo is brocken the dealer land rover san juan puerto rico sorry no warranty for what my evoque only 3 years
I was stopped at a stop light with my foot on the brake pedal. suddenly the engine rpm went to wide open throttle. i mashed on the brake as hard as i could but the vehicle kept going forward. my son was in the car in front of me and even though his windows were closed as it is cold he heard the engine screaming and saw the vehicle moving forward. he moved forward so i did not hit him. i was able to put the vehicle in park and then the engine went back to idle. *tr
