2015 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque: check engine light

Filed Jan 16, 2021 · Driver assistance, Engine · CA

My 2015 range rover evoque with 52,000 miles on it, lost power while driving on the freeway. I was unable to accelerate and keep up with traffic even with the gas pedal complete to the floor. On roadways that had hills, I would lose speed causing traffic to back up behind me. The check engine also came on. When I took it to the auto repair shop I was told that the turbo charger had failed and needed to be replaced. The estimate was $6275.

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. I immediately changed to the right lane and was able to pull over at a rest stop. I read the manual, and according to the warning transmission signal which displayed, my car may be driven but performance may be reduced and I should immediately take it into a dealer, which I did. I was later told by an authorized dealer that 'my turbo had blown' with cracks along with a destroyed solenoid and other parts relating to the speed of my car. It currently has under 80k miles and is in the repair shop as we speak. It has had routine maintenance and just underwent service care (replaced oil/ oil filter, transmission fluid , etc) less than 2 months ago. The total estimated repair cost relating to this safety concern is roughly $5,200 usd from an authorized dealer (a new turbo, solenoid, labor, etc).

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.

((((exact same story as another report filed: the federal safety agency id number:11076170))) . I got to a red light, turned green I go, get up to 25mph, car cuts out (complete loss of power). *my engine light is now on. I get the car to start I immediately turn around to get home. * my car looses all power and shuts off in the freeway home. * I finally get the vehicle home, and my husband ran diagnostics. - the computer is saying it is the variable valve timing control solenoid issue. * my car only has @80,000 miles on it, and should not have this issue. . **this is a huge safety concern. * I haven't contacted corporate jaguar land rover yet. This seems to be a very big reoccurring issue, with this year/make/model, and it seems like land rover is doing nothing about it. . Looks like it may be time to lawyer up, and set up a class action! . Semper fidelis

I was driving to work with my baby in the back seat. I got to a red light, turned green I go, get up to 40mph, car cuts out (complete loss of power). The person behind me swirves off the road to miss me. I am stuck in the middle of hwy 17 (very busy) the road for 5 minutes trying to reatart. My engine light is now on. I get the car to start I immediately turn around to get my car and my baby home. I am up to 55mph still on hwy 17 in jacksonville nc. My car looses all power and shuts off, and the cars behimd me slams on brakes and there air bags come out. Nothing was hit, but it was close. I took it to land rover in wilmington nc they are saying it is the variable valve timing control solenoid. The mechanic ryan told me that this happens a few times a year, and he has worked on many with the same issue. My car only has 60,000 miles on it, and should not have this issue. This is a huge safety concern of mine, me and my child could have been hurt. I contacted corporate jaguar land rover and told them of the issue I had and they said there is nothing they can do. This is a reoccurring issue, and nothing is being done about it, and if I wouldnt have thought fast during my incident I could have lost my life or even worse my childs.
