Defect Description:

ENGINE

Potential Consequences:

I experienced three incidents attributable to a malfunction of the turbocharger integrated exhaust manifold. The first two occasions the vehicle suddenly and inexplicably lost power slowing to approximately 5 mph. Acceleration only made the engine rev up but did not increase power. No prior indications from the function of engine nor any warning indicators activated at the time the first two incidents occurred. I had only owned the vehicle for two to three months when the first incident occurred. Being my first experience with a vehicle equipped with paddles affixed to the steering wheel and not having any prior warnings I presumed I had inadvertently and incorrectly touched the paddles. The loss of power lasted only minutes but rendered the vehicle unable to maintain speed to safely maneuver through and move from travel lanes. The most recent occurrence happened while traveling at highway speed on an interstate. This time the vehicle again immediately lost power and my speed abruptly dropped to about 30 mph and for the first time illuminated the check engine light. Fortunately, traffic was light and I was within 1 mile of the next exit. I was able to maneuver to the shoulder and eventually exited the highway. The vehicle recovered function and I travelled approximately 10 miles back to a Land Rover Dealership. Diagnostic tests pulled code DTC P0299 and recommended that the turbocharger be replaced. There is currently a class action lawsuit pending against Land Rover vehicles for this problem which has been reported to be a common occurrence in the 2012-2017 Evoque, 2015-2017 Discovery Sport, and 2013-2015 LR2. In 2020 4 complaints were filed with NHTSA (11342410, 11342277, 11375748, and 11375786) regarding turbocharger failure and sudden loss of power. My vehicle has been parked at a dealership since July 8, 2021 because the unforeseeable loss of power renders the vehicle unreliable and at risk of accident and injury.

SERVICE BRAKES

Potential Consequences:

The brake pedal started to feel spongy, then the car started firing alarms about low brake fluid pressure. Made it home and upon inspection found the Right Passenger Front brake line had ruptured and was spraying fluid everywhere. This is super dangerous luckily we didn't wreck. Upon research, it appears earlier models of Land Rovers had a recall for this exact issue however Land Rover mentioned that my year (2016) was not a part of the recall. Well, it looks like it should be, this will kill someone someday. I replaced the part myself and the car is back on the road. This is not a wear item and should not be failing only a few years after purchase. Official Land Rover part replaced = LR135811 Brake Hydraulic Hose

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

Potential Consequences:

The lock actuators in my vehicle (except for the driver door and tailgate) have all failed. It started when my 2016 Land Rover was at approximately 118,000 miles, with the rear driver side door failing first. Then in the last 30 days, the rear passenger side door and the front passenger side door fail to lock or get stuck locked. This causes several safety hazards to include the inability to egress from the vehicle in the case of an emergency. Additionally, I am obviously concerned about vehicle theft. There have been no warning lamps, messages, or other indicators of the issue prior to the failure, the locks just progressively stopped working. I haven't yet had the component inspected by anyone, but I am upset that my safety has been put in danger by these faulty systems and that I will now have to pay thousands of dollars out of pocket to get it fixed. It must be a frequent problem with these systems because some how three out of the five locks on my vehicle all went out over the course of two months on a relatively low mileage vehicle.
