“2006 range rover / LR3 - 15 miles on vehicle. Experienced rapid acceleration instead of braking three times the first time we drove the car after taking it home. Could not stop the car while pushing hard on the brake with both feet. Engine raced instead. It did slow down at first then lunged forward through a stop sign, then a stop light, onto a highway etc. Luckily no crashes. Auto dealer could not find anything wrong, neither could Land Rover. Ordered another new vehicle, same make and model and the same thing happened! Drove it 2 hours and then it would not stop fully at a stop sign. …”
