“Vehicle often on its own, slows down on the highway, while driving and will no longer accelerate. Very scary and dangerous I have to take my feet completely off the gas and try to press the gas to accelerate which after a few of these efforts I can finally pick up speed again. This has been happening since purchased, no recalls are seen and mechanics are unable to diagnose.”

Had car towed back for service. …”
NHTSA complaint #11675713, filed 2025-07“On my Discovery Sport HSE 2019 the engine light came on first. I made sure the gas cap was tightly secured.

The car began to also slow up after a couple of days while driving to work... no matter how far I pressed the gas pedal - it would only go 10mph. The display went haywire with warnings so I pulled over to read the display. …”
