Problem overview

Some Land Rover Range Rover Evoque owners report experiencing issues such as the check engine light illuminating, accompanied by symptoms like hesitation, lack of power, and awkward shifting of the 9-speed transmission. These problems may manifest as service required warnings, engine roughness, misfires, poor throttle response, and unusual sounds or smoke from the exhaust. The check engine light can be triggered by various factors, including a loose fuel cap, excess vibration, or a blocked cylinder. Owners are advised to use an OBD scanner to retrieve diagnostic trouble codes and identify the underlying causes. Additionally, awkward shifting in the transmission may indicate performance issues that necessitate inspection by a qualified mechanic. It is crucial for owners to seek professional assistance if they are uncertain about the cause of these problems or how to resolve them, especially since the check engine light can signal varying degrees of urgency based on its color.
