WORST EXPERIENCE EVER! I purchased a brand new 201...

WORST EXPERIENCE EVER! I purchased a brand new 2016 Range Rover Evoque SE Premium with only 18 miles on it and had to go back to the dealership to have 3 things that should have been caught during inspection repaired or disabled which leads me to believe they knowingly gave me a defective vehicle. The sales transaction was fine however when I drove off the lot that is when my issues began. I randomly heard 2 beeps consecutively while driving and always wondered what it was. The rear camera was foggy but I did not have anything to compare it with so I thought it must be the way it was built. About a week ago, I had an issue with the RPM reaching 4 however my vehicle barely moved. I had to pull off the side of the highway and restart the engine. I later learned the vehicle has a "Sport" option that allows me to drive in gears. I guess I accidentally pressed it. The Eco Start option was sometimes lit and then sometimes it wasn't. When it was not lit, I pressed the button and the message "Unavailable" showed up on the dash. I brought my vehicle into Land Rover of Seattle yesterday regarding the RPM issue. I did a test drive with the service employee and he noticed my Eco option was not working but the light indicated it was. I asked about my camera being foggy and he said it's fine just to wipe it off. The service employee hooked my vehicle up to the computer and of course the computer did not show any errors. They told me to drive my car home and when that happens again I should come back. Really!?!? At this point I am pissed. I waited in the lobby and Gabe came to tell me sometimes the Eco option takes couple hundred miles for it to work (I currently had 550 miles). I told him I drive the car everyday and I am 97% sure it NEVER worked. Gabe went back to service and turned the car on and the Eco option was no longer lit and it said unavailable. My car got hooked up again and an error message popped up. The verdict-Failure of the Brake Vacuum Solenoid and Hose Assembly. As for the beeps....it's a defective Gesture Tailgate which is a hands free feature that allows my trunk to open up automatically by pointing my foot under the rear bumper. Well they had to disable this feature because Land Rover has not come out with an option to fix it. As for when it will be fixed....no one knows but they will call me.

I left my vehicle with Land Rover on Wednesday at 10am and on Friday at 1032a I received a call my car was ready. During that time I got a Jaguar loaner vehicle and I immediately noticed how clear the camera was. I got into my vehicle after they washed my car and the camera was still foggy. I asked Gabe to take a look and he said something is not right. My vehicle went into the shop again and of course the camera was defective and they had to install a new camera.

This is the first time owning a Range Rover and I had high expectations.

Very angry and mad owner.
