- Risk
- If the vehicle unexpectedly shifts to neutral, there is an increased risk of a crash.
- Remedy
- Land Rover will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the automatic transmission serial number and if required, will update the transmission software to prevent the transmission from shifting into neutral due to a faulty crimp, free of charge.

Powered vehicle rollaway
On December 16, 2016, ODI opened PE16-015 to investigate seven complaints alleging incidents of powered rollaway in model year (MY) 2012 through 2014 Land Rover/Range Rover Evoque and Jaguar XF vehicles. The complaints all alleged that the rollaway incidents occurred after the operators shifted to Park and exited the vehicle with the engine left running. All of the incidents alleged that crashes resulted from the unexpected vehicle movement and three alleged injuries. Two of the complaints counted in the opening resume (ID's 10760326 and 10884136) involved the same vehicle and incident. ODI has not received any new complaints since PE16-015 was opened, resulting in current ODI report totals of 6 incidents, 6 crashes and 3 injuries. Field data provided by Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) in response to ODI's information request letter for PE16-015 included 10 allegations of powered rollaway incidents in the subject vehicles, including 9 alleging crashes. Updates provided by JLR through October 25, 2019, have identified one additional powered rollaway allegation in the subject vehicles. The new incident included a crash allegation, bringing the JLR field incident totals to 11 incidents and 10 crashes. None of the JLR reports allege injuries. Two of the JLR reports are duplicates of incidents reported to ODI, resulting in a total of 15 incidents, 14 crashes and 3 injury allegations in the subject vehicles. ODI's analysis of system design and field incident investigative data has not identified any mechanical or electronic faults that have caused subject vehicle transmissions to shift out of Park with no operator input nor has the analysis identified any faults that would result in a failure to execute a valid Park shift selection. JLR's field investigations of powered rollaway incidents have assessed the root cause to be operator error. Based on these assessments and the low rate and declining trend in rollaway incidents, this investigation is closed. The closing of this investigation does not foreclose the Agency from taking further action if warranted or the potential for a future finding that a safety-related defect exists based upon additional information the agency may receive. For more detailed information about field incident analysis for the subject and peer vehicles see the attached report.The ODI reports (VOQs) cited above can be viewed at under the following reference numbers with duplicate records shown in parentheses: 10504853, 10548937, 10565212, 10631673, 10760326 (10884136), 10892346.

My car shifts into neutral while I’m driving. This is the same issue that I see recalls for but it’s stating that my car is not effected. Also, the rear suspension makes a loud grinding noise for no reason. It’s weird because other 2014 Land Rovers have these exact same recall warnings and my vin number comes up clear on the internet. This vehicle only has 45k miles on it.
Our 2014 Land Rover Evoque has a gear knob (gear shifter) located on the console. The gear knob changes by itself from drive, to neutral, to park. Dangerous! We identified this as part of a safety recall and took it to the dealer for repair. They updated the software and sent us on our way. After the same issue occurring several times, we took it back to the dealer at which time the stated we need a new transmission for over $17,000!!! The vehicle last showed only 35,000 miles! We have begged and pleaded our case with the dealer and repeatedly with Land Rover USA with no satisfactory resolution.
The powertrain just went out at 60k miles. I googled regarding this n found a lot of other complaints with the powertrain even a lawsuit.
We bought this vehicle in dec. 2019. After 10 months of driving all stability control and awd failed while driving. Com to find out there's a recall on transmission would have never knew without investigation. Still not sure who to contact. It seemed to be a problem for previous driver also evident in owner's manual. Was never told. I was driving sounded like the car was coming apart w every bump. On i65 interstate when it happened
It is known the 2014 range rover/evoque has a terrible and repeated problem with the turbo /super charger over boost condition. It costs thousands of dollars to repair. This is due to a failed design with the exhaust system as range rover came up with a new design after 2014.
Car abruptly shifts out of gear and into neutral while driving. Gear will not move to proper gear once this occurs. Control of vehicle is lost.
Recall p091 - our vehicle was not included in this recall however it suffers from the same dangerous safety issue. The vehicle shuts down while driving, even doing 70mph on the freeway. It appears to shift into neutral, with the dash saying "gearbox fault" and the gear shifter locking up. The car no longer revs and we have to coast to the side of the road. Very dangerous and we have had several near misses, including with a semi truck on the freeway. Landrover have done five (5) failed repair attempts via two separate dealerships. The problem remains unresolved. We have replaced the gearbox and turbo at landrovers suggestion of this being the issue; the car was not fixed by this. We believe that the car should have been included in the recall. This car is a deathtrap and landrover are refusing to do anything about it. We have 14 failed repairs on this vehicle in total, with landrover suggesting we pay for a 15th repair at a cost to us of almost $30,000. This would be the sixth (6th) repair attempt on this same issue alone. The car is riddled with numerous other issues. We have multiple videos of this issue taken over several break downs due to the same issue as the recall. This has happened over a dozen times, usually when the car is in motion, however it has happened upon starting the car, driving slowly on streets, and driving on the freeway at 70mph. We have all of the repair records documenting this but there are too many to upload here.
