NHTSA Complaint #11496960 — 2017 LAND ROVER RANGE ROVER EVOQUE

As I was accelerating to enter I-495, The check engine light appeared and the engine lost all power and died. The the entire car lost power to include the engine, power steering and power brakes. There was a noise from the engine compartment and the transmission selector know dropped into a powered off position and would not raise up. There was no accident, but it was very close to being an accident. I was able to coast over to the shoulder, but was nearly hit from behind by a tractor trailer as I maneuvered to get out of of the travel lanes. The Range Rover dealer determined the cause to be a broken timing chain. This should not happen on a vehicle that was maintained per manufacture guidance and only had 67,536 miles. The engine had to be replaced.
