My Evoque only 3 years 63,000 miles and the turbo is brocken the dealer Land Rover san juan puerto rico sorry no warranty for what my Evoque only 3 years.
I was stopped at a stop light with my foot on the brake pedal. Suddenly the engine rpm went to wide open throttle. I mashed on the brake as hard as I could but the vehicle kept going forward. My son was in the car in front of me and even though his windows were closed as it is cold he heard the engine screaming and saw the vehicle moving forward. He moved forward so I did not hit him. I was able to put the vehicle in park and then the engine went back to idle.
I was driving vehicle at about 65-70 mph on freeway for about one hour. Exited freeway, stopped at traffic light. When leaving light, accelerated normal & instantly noticed there was very poor acceleration. The engine service light displayed & vehicle would not go over 35mph. I then pulled into parking lot, turned car off for 2 minutes, restarted & no change in problem. Took car to dealership where I purchased & vehicle was fixed at no charge.
On July 28, 2012 my mother and I were driving to new england from maryland through intermittent thunderstorms at speeds above 65 miles per hour. I attempted to accelerate to pass a vehicle when the engine began to lose power and took over 30 seconds to reach 40 miles per hour. I observed the speed warning light and the amber ?check engine? light come on. I tried to accelerate to pull off of the road but could only drive approximately 35-40 miles per hour until the next exit which was over 2 miles ahead (as cars unsafely had to suddenly stop behind me on I-95 as I maneuvered back into the right travel lane) since the vehicle would not go any faster. Once off of the road (the rain had ceased) I turned off the vehicle and removed the 74 mile an hour speed warning and the amber ?check engine? lamp went off after ten minutes of driving. I resumed my trip through the on-and-off-again rain for another three hours and did not attempt to accelerate again. I later told my husband that I thought that the sudden slow engine acceleration and speed impediment was a function of the speed warning and assumed that to be the cause of the lack of speed and ability to accelerate. Needless to say this was a frightening experience for me and my mother. On August 25th my husband and I were driving for over an hour in heavy rain and it happened again. Unlike my experience, a warning message that said ?restricted performance? came up on the dashboard and the amber check engine light was on (there was also an amber hazard signal on the dashboard). When we pulled over, we looked in the owner?s manual under the following words: ?performance, engine, and warnings, to find the restricted performance warning and what it meant to no avail. The rain continued on this evening and we drove (slowly) home for the remaining 20 minutes while the check engine light remained red.
