Good morning NHTSA, I am writing to you in the request of the assistance of help to ask range rover corporation to take action on recalling faulty transmission on vehicles such like the one that I just purchased February 11, 2020, at Mercedes Benz of pleasanton, ca (Range rover evoque 2016) that almost cause an accident in the freeway where I lost control in acceleration or deceleration. I am very thankful that I maneuver to drive to the emergency road saving my family that could have caused an accident and endangered the lives of other people and my family. It was May 30th, 2020 when the car malfunction in the I-80 freeway. My car was towed for service at Jaguar range rover in sacramento for repair. My warranty declined the claim due to bulletin issued claiming that there is a recall. I am thankful that no accident happened to me and my family, but now I am facing a bill of $3792.54 from a faulty transmission.. range rover Corp told me that this car was also been repaired at another range rover in livermore for the transmission issue that was repaired so many times, if there were a recall then those should have been fixed. The frustration of paying an expensive car plus paying the repair that was not my fault is unfair and still not at 100% of the car's reliability that is still lingering in my head. I am requesting your kind assistance and guidance to make range rover corporation replace the transmission and gearbox at their cost. The faulty transmission that been repeatedly occurring in this vehicle is dangerous! my thoughts are this car is considered a lemon car. The range rover livermore should also acknowledge the failure of their service that almost cause an accident should be also reprimanded of their action. Thank you for reading my complaint and hoping to hear from you. Sincerely, [xxx] 3 attachments information redacted pursuant to the Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

For the past 2 years this vehicle has put itself in neutral while under power. On every occasion it was while decelerating and then when foot is let off the brake the car will have no power. The D for drive on the dash will flash with a ring around it and I will be stuck on the road for the longest of a minute now with zero power. First times were on local streets, and one of the last times it happened while on the highway in the middle lane. The problem has only gotten worse however. Now the car while moving if you apply the brake to a stop it will completely shut the car off and put itself in park. This is not the auto start feature. I let off the brake the shift knob turned itself to park and then recessed itself in the console and wouldn't turn back on until after 3 attempts to restart the vehicle. Also associated with the vehicle. On initial start the range rover will not deploy the rear view mirrors, they stay folded in until you turn off and turn on the car repeatable. At a stop while car is running the rear tailgate will open. This happened right in the dealership parking lot after I picked it up for "service" and then down the street at a gas station it opened itself 3 times in the course of 10 minuets. On every single occasion the car has been returned back to the dealership and even towed to the dealership. Every single time the car has been returned while we were told nothing is wrong with the vehicle. Yet the problem still happens. Very unsafe, especially while going from 60mph to not being able to accelerate, then coming to a complete stop in the middle of the highway. At this time I will not name the dealership associate with such horrible help as there is a ongoing investigation.
