What 2013 Land Rover Range Rover owners say
Electrical system
I got out of the evoque with it running and the door open. When I came walking back the car was going up the road by itself in reverse. It hit a mailbox that stopped it. It could have hit kids that are usually in the area. Lr/rr looked at it for two weeks then told me I must have left it in reverse and got out of the SUV somehow before it moved. They were not going to do anything about it. When I got in the SUV after it hit the mailbox it was still in park. Long story short is lr/rr is doing nothing for us. Now the body shop is telling us the repair parts that I have to pay for will take up to one year to get in. We have been over 60 days and still they have no eta for the parts. What a joke for a company of this size. My wife will never agree to drive this SUV again with this issue. Never buy a rr/lr.
