2017 LAND ROVER RANGE ROVER EVOQUE Power Train Problems

At just a little over 58k miles the vehicle started making metal noises while driving. The vehicle will jump into neutral while driving and this was very scary! There are no warning lights or any error codes. This was checked and confirmed by a LandRover dealership in Roanoke- no fault codes. I didnt drive for another few months. Next drive was from VA to KY and the vehicle did the same thing on the highway, I was able to pull over after having a panic attack and almost being hit by other vehicles that were moving! I didnt drive it for another few months. Drove the vehicle 3 weeks ago, the noises and the shift in neutral happened again and I had to pull off the side of the road. This time gearbox fault light came on. This is very scary, this vehicle should be high tech enough to show...

I AM WRITING IN REGARDS WITH MY CAR. THIS CAR HAS BEEN GIVING ME HUGE PROBLEMS WITH HESITATION. I HAVE COME CLOSE TO HAVING FATAL CRASHES TWICE THIS MONTH DUE TO THIS PROBLEM. I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR TO THE RANGE ROVER DEALERSHIP GARAGE TWICE AND THEY SAID THEY HAD FIXED IT BUT I AM STILL EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM. THE TRANSMISSION CAN UNEXPECTEDLY SHIFT INTO NEUTRAL WHILE DRIVING.

I WAS DRIVING IN THE LEFT LANE OF A MAJOR HIGHWAY AT 65 MPH AND WAS BRAKING SLIGHTLY FOR TRAFFIC AND THE CAR SUDDENLY LOST POWER AND GEARBOX FAULT AND PARKING BREAK FAULT STARTED FLASHING. I HAD TO CUT OFF THREE LANES OF MOVING TRAFFIC TO GET TO A SHOULDER. THE CAR WAS STUCK IN DRIVE BUT WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. WE SHUT THE IGNITION AND THE CAR BECAME STUCK IN PARK. I HAD BEEN COMPLAINING OF NOISES AND A POOR PERFORMANCE FOR MONTHS WITH NO RESOLUTION. THE CAR SAT AT THE DEALERSHIP OF PURCHASE FOR 2 DAYS WITHOUT AN ANSWER BEFORE BEING MOVED TO ANOTHER DEALED THAT HAS STATED IT NEEDS A GEARBOX MODULE.

I WAS DRIVING ON THE SOUTHERN STATE PARKWAY IN NEW YORK DURING RUSH HOUR. DRIVING APPROX 10MPH AT A STEADY PACE AND HAD BEEN IN THE CAR FOR ABOUT AN HOUR. ALL OF A SUDDEN MY 2017 EVOQUE STALLED OUT WHEN I PRESSED THE GAS PEDAL. I CAME TO A STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE TRAFFIC LANE, AS THERE WASN'T ENOUGH TIME TO PULL OFF THE ROAD. ONCE I SHIFTED THE SHIFT KNOB INTO PARK, THE KNOB DISAPPEARED INTO THE CENTER CONSOLE AS PICTURED. NUMEROUS ATTEMPTS WERE MADE TO RESTART THE CAR WITH NO LUCK AND NO ERROR INDICATION ON THE DASH. THE CAR WOULD NOT START AND THE SHIFT KNOB WOULD NOT POP UP UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE. I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON, THE SHIFT KNOB REMAINED DOWN. ONCE THE TOW TRUCK ARRIVED, THE DRIVER AND I COULD NOT SHIFT THE CAR OUT OF PARK TO...

ACCELERATION STOPPED WHILE ON I-69 IN INDIANA NEAR ANDERSON IN A CONSTRUCTION ZONE GOING 50+ MPH WHILE HEADED UP A HILL. GEARBOX FAILURE ALERT FLASHED ON DASH BOARD

TRANSMISSION STICKS IN 3RD GEAR ON LOW SPEED 30 - 35 MPH. RPM STAYS AT 3000 - 4000 . DUE TO THAT IT STARTS TO MAKE VERY LOUD NOISE. IF CAR IS NOT STOPPED AND COOLED FOR SOME TIME (30 MIN) IT CAN LEAD TO OVERHEATING AND PROBABLY DESTROYING THE CLUTCH.

WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 10 MPH IN CITY TRAFFIC AN ERROR LIGHT INDICATING "GEAR BOX FAULT" APPEARED FOLLOWED BY NUMEROUS OTHER WARNINGS. THE VEHICLE SHUT OFF AND COASTED TO A STOP. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER FOR SERVICE, AFTER 26 DAYS IN SERVICE AND 80 MILES DRIVEN BY A SERVICE TECHNICIAN THE DEALER CONTINUES TO TELL ME THEY HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. THEY INDICATED THAT THE COMPUTER REPORTS INDICATE A MAJOR PROBLEM OCCURED BUT THEY ARE UNABLE TO RECREATE IT.
