My vehicle is affected by Safety Recall D126 / 26V-248. The vehicle has already experienced the recall failure: loss of charging, stalling while driving, and now it will not crank at all. The dealership is refusing towing, refusing to document the safety failure, and refusing Transportation. Corporate has also refused assistance. I am left without a vehicle and unable to work. This is an unsafe condition and a violation of federal recall obligations.

On 4/26/2026 My vehicle experienced hybrid system failure, electrical failure, charging system failure, loss of drive power, electrical shutdown, and loss of exterior lighting at a busy intersection, while at a red light. My vehicle had to be towed and was confirmed by the Range Rover dealership as a DC-DC converter failure. My 73 yr old mother and I had to get out and direct traffic for over two hours, to keep my vehicle from getting hit or us being seriously injured, until a wrecker arrived. I had previously took my vehicle to two dealerships, when I had a light to come on. They told me to keep driving until they researched the problem and that my vehicle would not leave me on side of the road. Approximately 2 weeks later is when it displayed another warning light, right before shutting off completely on the above date and having me stopped, not on the side of the road, but worse, at a red light busy intersection off a highway ramp. I found out by the dealership that my vehicle issue is part of an active DC/DC converter recall. My husband and I had to pay for the costly repairs, towing and have been out of a vehicle, with no loaner for over a month. I am requesting a "recall reimbursement”,“goodwill reimbursement” and “pre-remedy reimbursement eligibility."

When I took it to JLR had to have it towed twice . They said it was the battery and that it needed to be calibrated, sent me home and same day car stalled again in a busy traffic, this time they said it was my alternator and that my own system was shorted out, and they had to replace the alternator. Wants to charge me $4k , then I get a call saying it’s the DC Dc Converter and it’s shorted out my electric system and alternator! Don’t know I’what to believe ! Before my car died it first said charging. Battery low and died out while I was getting Dutch bros but started up right away, two days later I got the warning lights all flashing and then died completely

On March 5, 2026, while I and my 2 passengers were traveling on the 405 Freeway at approximately 40–50 mph, the vehicle suffered a catastrophic total loss of power. The engine shut off and all electronic systems failed simultaneously, including the instrument cluster and all interior lighting. Most critically, the hazard lights were inoperable, leaving the vehicle invisible to high-speed traffic during the failure. Since I was traveling at highway speeds I was able to safely glide the vehicle to the center shoulder. After approximately 10–15 minutes, the dashboard, infotainment, and climate control systems began flickering intermittently before power temporarily returned. Upon attempting to re-enter traffic to reach an exit, the vehicle stalled a second time while in motion. I returned to the shoulder again. After another 10 minutes the vehicle started and I was eventually able to exit the freeway and reach my residence. The following morning, the vehicle was completely unresponsive and would not start. It was towed to Land Rover Santa Monica dealership on March 6, 2026, where it currently remains for diagnosis and repair. This incident on the 405 freeway marks the third occurrence of a total loss of propulsion and electrical failure while the vehicle was in motion. Despite previous repair attempts, the defect persists, rendering the vehicle fundamentally unsafe for operation. I am gravely concerned for my personal safety, as well as the safety of other motorists on public st

I am filing this complaint for a serious drivability and safety issue with my 2020 Range Rover Evoque (VIN: [XXX] ). For over two years, this vehicle has exhibited a violent jerking motion when accelerating from a stop. It happens intermittently but is becoming progressively worse. Despite multiple dealership visits, warranty repairs, and part replacements (including the driveshaft and oil separator). Most recently, on [XXX], my wife was nearly involved in a rear-end collision when the vehicle lurched forward at a green light despite gentle pressure on the accelerator. On [XXX], I experienced the same event, though luckily there was no car in front. These events are frightening and dangerous. We no longer feel safe driving this vehicle. I have attached a detailed document (submitted to Land Rover) summarizing our full service history, dealership findings, and recent near-accident experiences. I believe this is a systemic drivability defect that warrants NHTSA review and investigation. Please contact me if additional documentation or testimony is needed.

I am submitting this complaint to report a significant windshield defect in my 2020 Range Rover Evoque. The issue involves water ingress due to improper windshield bonding, which leads to leaks into the passenger compartment and excessive wind noise. This is a known issue with Land Rover vehicles, as evidenced by Service Action N221, which acknowledges similar problems in prior model years, including other Range Rover Evoque and Land Rover Discovery vehicles. Despite the fact that Land Rover has documented and repaired this issue in other vehicles, Land Rover North America has denied responsibility for the defect in my vehicle. They agreed to cover the diagnostic inspection but refused to repair the defect under warranty or as a goodwill repair. Safety Concerns: • Structural Integrity Risk: A poorly bonded windshield compromises the vehicle’s structural integrity in the event of a crash. • Driver Visibility: Water leaks can cause fogging on the windshield, obstructing the driver’s view. • Electrical Damage: Water ingress can lead to electrical malfunctions, potentially impacting vehicle safety systems.

While driving on [XXX] on [XXX] from Burlington VT airport to Barre VT, the vehicle suddenly slowed and did not respond to the gas pedal. This was at about 5 pm. Managed to get the vehicle to the small curb but was partly in the right lane of highway. Many cars veered around us. Felt could easily have been hit from behind. Vehicle finally started after several tries and got it to a larger curb area. No warning lights came one before the stall, until just beforehand. Flashing lights then briefly lighted. Got vehicle towed to a repair shop that only kept it for several days and restarted several times. Then, had it towed to a Land Rover dealer in Bedford, NH, where it has been now for several days. They drove it and the problem recurred. Still no word on what happened. The vehicle has 26,000 miles and was purchased new in May of 2020. All required service was done by Land Rover dealers.

My vehicle only has 37,000 miles on it. It had defective arms, which have needed replaced, as well as a defective seal along the windshield, causing it to leak, and now, after constant error messages as to the coolant, it was discovered that there is a leak coming from the secondary water pump at the flange where the hose is connected. This can cause engine failure otherwise and is a terrible safety hazard. Unfortunately, it's just outside of warranty, requiring an additional $1,500+ for the leak repair and parts replacement.

UNKNOWN, THERE IS AN INCOMPLETE RECALL ON THE VEHICLE DATED (MARCH 1, 2022) PRIOR TO WHEN I LEASED THE VEHICLE (MAY 17,2023)
No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.
Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.
Recall repairs are free for as long as the recall stands. Check whether a specific car still has open work at NHTSA's VIN lookup.
