Takata recall --- the air bags in our vehicle did not deploy. None of them. Accident happened on tuesday october 23 2018. Daughter was driving on an avenue. Other vehicle went through stop sign and struck front left fender of range rover. Range rover veered right and struck a pole. Nothing deployed. Both her legs hit into the dashboard and she also has bruises from seat belt across her chest. Both knees were injured and chest as well.
My son’s 2016 Range Rover Evogue (SE Premium Sport Utility 4D) caught fire while driving yesterday (6/22). The car was in great shape and had not had any auto work done recently. The vehicle experienced a loud pop while driving, immediately lost electrical power, steering assist, and brake assist, and then caught fire in the engine compartment. The car was a total loss. I do not see any recalls but would like this investigated in case this leads to a recall.
Tl* the contact owns a 2016 land rover evoque. While driving in the rain at an unknown speed, the horn would randomly sound every five minutes. The failure occurred anytime the vehicle was wet. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed that the electronic liftgate software system was faulty. There was no remedy for the failure. The manufacturer was notified. The failure mileage was 2,000. Updated 03/01/16 updated 03/14/16.
My vehicle has brakes that catch so hard when you press the pedal lightly that the front end of the car dips down. I was exiting an offramp and the car slid sideways and I was near having a collision. It has been in the shop for this numerous times. Neil at land rover of san diego today told me that he did notice it when we drove different cars back to back. The car is also leaking coolant and you can smell it in the cabin. From what I read this is hazardous.
Tailgate sensor malfunction cause the vehicle to honk when the surface of the street is wet and reflective. This can happen at stop-light, on the highway when stopped and even parking (stationary). It does not honk when moving but causing hazard as other driver think there is something to be careful about. Dealership/manufacturer try to resolve it but was not successful with no long term fix on the horizon.
