My 2020 Range Rover Evoque with VIN [XXX] has an identical failure described in Land Rover Service Action N221/N221NAS18.09.004. Water has entered from the top edge of windshield seal during rain. Though this defect took place in earlier models 2015-2018, the defect continued in 2020 model year ( L551). My front footwells and carpet are soaked, my infotainment system in the car went blank and upon investigation at the dealership, they've found water in the body of the car and white mold under the carpet and as a result the need to replace a lot of electrical modules etc. My car has a factory windshield, no replacement. When I went to retrieve my car from the dealer, they gave me back with a hairline crack in the windshield which the service advisor admitted that wasn't there when the car was dropped off and possibly happened during testing. Im requesting coverage for N221 to include 2020 year model. Link to technician video of his findings. [XXX] Please note : I had no idea this is how water was getting into my car. I thought my windows were left down during rain. The dealer made me aware of the defect but had no interest in doing a Goodwill repair because I'm no longer under warranty. I thank them for admitting that this is a defect however saddened that they won't fix the issue. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

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."

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.

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.

Having the lane departure and driver assist function set OFF the vehicle has departed from my control seemingly at random. Being within specified boundaries on back roads and on highways. It may be extremely dangerous for those who may not have been taught how to keep control over a vehicle at all times. I never received any correspondence from the dealer or other entity that there may be any issue that had not been previously attended to, the most recent occurrence being the furthest it was able to depart to date.

The air bag light will randomly illuminate on occasional drives, and after the car is turned off , the light will go away and randomly appear. The symptoms appear to be similar to another recall for 2020 evoques with false illuminations but my evoque was not included as a part of this recall.

One day in December i went out after it had rained. And there was condensation on the inside of the windshield inside the car. There were no windows or anything open. The next day i got in the car and the roof of the car by the sun visor and rear view mirror was dripping water. I felt up and it was soaking wet from driver side to passenger side at the top near the sun visor on both sides and near the rear view mirror. I called Land Rover they told me bring it in they will do a diagnostic test. Took it and the service guy confirmed the leaking was coming from the windshield when it rains. Said that my cpo will cover the repair. Later on that same day he calls back and told me it wouldn’t and i would need to pay almost $2000 to get it replaced. I also noticed that my from the water dripping inside. On my sceen where the gps is it does this skipping thing here in there when in use or when i plug in my Apple car play sometimes it doesn’t work. I feel since multiple people are complaining about this issue it should be up to handover to replace these windshields since it’s happening to multiple people or make sure they are on correctly before selling the vehicles. Especially if they know this is a known issue why hasn’t there been a recall yet. On top of that since there are no cracks in the windshield my insurance won’t cover the repair either.

I purchased the car with an airbag warning light actively displayed on the dash. The seller said there was a recall on the airbag module. I Googled airbag recall on 2020 Evoque and and found it to be true. However, Land Rover said the recall did not included my vehicle's vin number, despite the fact that I'm having the same problem that the recall covered.

I often have the smell of fuel/gas inside the cab and have taken the car to LandRover twice and they say they cannot find the issue therefore no repairs were made. They said they performed a smoke test. But yet I continue to smell gas inside the cab. Older years of this model were recalled for fuel leak issues and I think my 2020 should be recalled as well.

My car completely shut down at a traffic light as I took my foot off of the brake to begin my turn on green. This resulted in my car having to be towed by the police because where my car shut down in the middle of the street was a traffic hazard. The police even tried to jump the battery but nothing worked. There were multiple incidences of the like before hand, but the car usually restarted after shutting down. This time, it would not restart and resulted in a $400+ towing bill. Messages on dash were, Transmission not in Park and Battery low.

11/21/22 - the car had a significant amount of water on the driver’s side floor. The windshield was leaking extensively. The headliner was saturated and the carpet in the car. The steering column was wet, and the floor mat was filled with water and frozen to the carpet. The touchscreen was not working, and the screen was completely black. Land Rover Hunt Valley confirmed the windshield leak. The headliner and carpet have been soaked and I believe water has damaged the electrical system because of the touchscreen intermittently not working. This vehicle has flood damage due to the significant water breach that occurred. The car is at risk for concealed mold and mildew. I am concerned about the long term effects water damage will have on the electrical system - electrical issues are extremely dangerous safety issues. Water damage will also cause rust and corrosion. The leaking windshield issue in Range Rover Evoque cars is a known problem to Jaguar Land Rover North America. A Technical Bulletin was issued about the problem on 11/6/18, and an After Sales Bulletin/Service Action N221 issued on 3/23/20. The leaking windshield issue is also discussed in many Range Rover Evoque online forums. There are many consumers who have leaking windshields in their Range Rover Evoques. Both the 2018 and 2020 bulletins instructed dealers “to HOLD affected new vehicles that are within your control and refrain from releasing the vehicles for new vehicle sale pending completion of the rework actio

My 2019-2020 Evoque is stalling when coming to a stop? This seems to happen at completely random intervals regardless of whether the auto start/stop is on or off. When the car stalls "Select Gear to Manuever" is displayed for about one second on the dash and the "D" flashes with a beeping tone. This has happened to over 20 times in less than 1000 miles! The ignition must be turned off and the car restarted in order to move again. I have seen Land Rover Forums describing a very similar issue. I have taken the vehicle in twice for repairs with no improvement.

The contact owns a 2020 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds the vehicle would suddenly jerk to the left or right without warning. The failure would cause the vehicle to go into another lane and the contact would have to aggressively steer the vehicle straight. The contact stated that the vehicle now failed to accelerate while attempting to accelerate from idle. The contact had to excessively depress the accelerator pedal for the vehicle to move forward. The failure was intermittent and there was no warning. The contact took the vehicle to the dealer and the contact was informed that there were several trouble codes retrieved. The dealer performed a software update and the failure occurred less frequently. The contact returned the vehicle to the dealer however, the mechanic was unable to determine the cause of the failure. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and opened a case. The approximate failure mileage was 11,000.

This is a recurring problem that I have had into Land Rover service for service and in November or early December 2020. JOn the previous service, I was told the vehicle needed a software update. The problem stopped but I think it was because (as I will explain later) that the weather turned cold. The problem at that time is the same problem I am experiencing now only now the car will stall periodically. This has now happened so often that I have observed a pattern. When starting to drive the car from start up or at a stop the car will slip out of gear and I will get a beeping noise and a message that states:"Engage gear before maneuvering." Sometimes the car will stay illuminated in drive mode but really be in neutral as it will rev but not move. In those cases I will shift into park and then back into drive and the car will move again. Recently the car will act the same way only stall out requiring me to restart the car and shift it into drive mode. This seems to happen most often when it is very hot outside and the car's auto start/stop function is on. During the winter months my secondary battery would be low on power and the auto start/stop function would not engage. During those times I do not recall experiencing this issue. In fact my main battery has been very low and required a trickle charge at home. This was illustrated by my hatch not opening or the car giving me a message prior to start up that the battery was low. Of course that was never a safety issue, the prob

Has happened 4 times at outdoor temperatures of 110-120 degrees. Dealership service claims that they cannot replicate the problem and states that there is nothing in the computer log to show any errors.

This happens several times (more than 10) over a period of 6 months. The car randomly, while driving states "select gear to maneuver". This is VERY dangerous as the car just randomly turns off. It does not matter if it is in a middle of a turn, going fast, or coming to a stop. I did my own research, and found several other people with same make and model having this problem. https://www.rangerovers.net/threads/2020-evoque-stalling-when-coming-to-a-stop.341701/ Nobody, is helping and I cannot think of a more serious safety issue than this!.

WHEN CAR IS AT THE TRAFFIC LIGHT AND SOMETIMES DURING TURNING AT THE CORNER, IT JUST STOPS RESPONDING TO PEDDLE AND I HAVE TO RESTART THE ENGINE AND SELECT GEAR AGAIN TO MOVE IT. DURING THE RECENT SNOWSTORMS, IT ONCE STALED AND STARTED SLIDING BACKWARDS AS ENGINE STALLED AND TRANSMISSION STOPPED WORKING ON TRACTION.

IT STALLS AT STOP SIGNS AND STOP LIGHTS. THIS IS NOT THE ECO START-STOP FEATURE. IT DOES HAPPEN BOTH WITH THAT FEATURE ON AND OFF. THIS IS AN ELECTRICAL FAILURE. WHEN IT STALLS ALL THE COMPUTERS SHUT DOWN, CLIMATE CONTROL, ELECTRONIC SCREENS, STEREO, AND OCCASIONALLY THE SEATS MOVE BACK ALL THE WAY, MAKING IT NEAR IMPOSSIBLE TO REACH THE START-STOP BUTTON TO RESTART THE CAR. IT SOMETIMES HAPPENS WHEN YOU FIRST COME TO A STOP, AND OTHER TIMES RIGHT AFTER YOU HIT THE ACCELERATOR AND START TO ROLL INTO THE INTERSECTION. THE TECHNICIANS HAVE BEEN ABLE TO RECREATE THIS, AND HAVE ALSO BEEN IN THE CAR WITH US WHEN IT HAPPENED. THIS HAS EASILY HAPPENED MORE THAN 20 TIMES IN 3 WEEKS.

Reading this record

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.
