2006 Land Rover model LR3 -leased. Vehicle has delayed acceleration from a stop or slow speed- vehicle hesitates. Vehicle is used on roadways in Florida. I brought the vehicle to the dealer three times and the problem persists.

No stored fault codes. Check engine and transmission calibration files. Reset transmission adaptions perform addaptive drive cycle. The problem persists. I have rented a car due to safety issue. I am attempting resolve under the lemon law but want this issue addressed for public safety. According to the road reviews I have researched, the 2005 LR3 has acceleration issues. I could not find a review of the 2006 model yet.

2006 Land Rover LR2 hse edition. Defective transmission. Ongoing serious problems. Car goes from first gear, then into neutral, then jolts forward unexpectedly when applying gas...at a stop sign, for example. Poor low speed transmission shifts. Annoying beyond belief, unsafe, too. Not what one expects in a $53,000 car. Land Rover claims "it's getting to know my driving". now they finally admit there is a problem and state a "new software will fix it". well, the last "software update" made it worse. Very concerned, very annoyed.
