Loyal to the brand, our reader Nicole from Hyères (83 years old) turns to a Land Rover Range Rover Evoque 2.0 TD4 150 BVA9 new when she wants to replace it freelander, in September 2015. What follows is a use that fully meets his expectations. THE Range Rover Evoque but in July last year it made some noise. It couldn’t be a worse moment for Nicole: when she’s driving to a wedding where her car is supposed to transport the bride and groom, a light comes on and then a “reduced performance” message appears… What she immediately notices is that she’s struggling to get only 100km / hour! So, mission complete and off to the garage… Nicole’s day is definitely ruined when she finds out thatturbo drivenot serviced, inseparable from the turbo, with a quote 3743 euros! An amount that, in our opinion, is inappropriate. Age of this Range Rover Evoque does not justify such low support. Then his request for support at the customer service received a negative response, citing the old age of the car. Her garage alone is a 22% discount, but Nicole still has to pay €2,925 to get her Range Rover Evoque back in working order. Restrained by her own needs, she agrees to the repairs, but remains determined to win the case.
What defensive strategy should be adopted?
Ongoing and regular maintenance relieves Nicole of any liability for this malfunction. Especially since this turbine failure is not an isolated incident… But then how much does this mechanical problem really cost? The service life of components related to turbocharging is is equal to 200,000 km. Wear and tear is certainly applicable, but also considering mileage, Land Rover still need to take responsible for at least 65% of the repair bill. The equivalent of 2433 euros
