I have had a rather severe, very annoying, hum and vibration between 37 and 43 mph for quite a while - since a couple thousand miles. I now have about 18,000 on my Evoque. It seems to be louder than I remember it being earlier in the life of my car, but that may just be my increased annoyance. The noise/vibration is not consistent - it will show up about 40% of the time, and usually persists on my journey once it starts. I took a drive from San Diego to Borrego Springs where much of the speed was in the vibration range and it showed up every time. I have had the car at the dealer on three separate occasions and, unfortunately, the dealer has been unable to replicate the symptoms. The last time I picked the car up from the dealer (at closing time) it exhibited the symptoms less than 10 miles down the road, and did so very day for about 5 days (again, this was over a holiday so the dealer was closed). Yet the vibration has not happened in the last two days. The vibration and noise is loud and obvious. I have been on the phone with friends that have heard it over the phone. I have to turn the radio up to hear clearly over the noise - thank goodness for the wattage.

Is this the same issue?
I have tried to troubleshoot a bit and have noticed the following symptoms. The noise/vibration happens, and is the same frequency, regardless of gear (I have manually shifted gears to see if the frequency changes or does not show up - the result is no frequency change and it shows up in any gear at the same speed), The frequency is too high for an out of balance/out of round tire - it's more like a bad drive shaft - a loud, low frequency, hum/vibration (enough to rattle parts of the car); it persists regardless of load (both downhill and uphill), reaches a peak volume/amplitude at about 40mph, goes away beyond the 37-43 speed range. Some days it will not show up: the last two days have been vibration free while the previous 5 the vibration occurred every time. It occurs on the highway, uphill, downhill, smooth roads, bumpy roads, pretty much everywhere I am driving within the speed window - when it occurs. I have tried many different sources for gas - with no change; and it occurs 1/4 tank, mid tank; full tank of gas. The pleasure of the Evoque experience pretty much overrides all it's other shortcomings except for this. I don't think I can keep the car with this annoyance. The dealer says they cannot fix if it does not occur while they have the car - they drove it about 30 miles without occurrence. I've asked the dealer to have a mechanic take the car home and drive it until it occurs and it is fixed - I want it fixed that bad!! No dice. The dealer contacted Land Rover North America technicians and they say they never heard of this problem. I find it hard to believe I am alone with this issue.
Evoque 4 Door, "Prestque" 2.0L gas engine, Black Chrome Jaguar Kasuga wheels (Sweet!), roof rack with cross bars (I drive a motorcycle as well, I am not convinced wind pressure at 40MPH on a roof rack would cause the car to vibrate this severely).
