Vehicle hesitates on accelerating from low speed. It is extremely dangerous and I have nearly been broadsided a number of times. From a rolling start at low speed, depressing the accelerator pedal has no effect.. it feels like an eternity until the engine comes to life. I would say at least two full seconds. And when it finally does come to life, it can be a neck-snapping shocking jolt that will cause passengers to scream. It is my belief that Jaguar Land Rover North America is aware of this issue but has not addressed it for 2018+ L494 Range Rover Sport's with the 5.0L Supercharged V8 engine. I have had the vehicle in at the dealer a number of times for this issue and they state that there is nothing wrong. This vehicle has 518hp and when the powertrain hesitates to respond to the accelerator pedal being depressed, it exacerbates an already very dangerous situation by ultimately slamming the car into gear in a very violent way. The powertrain / transmission is certainly not behaving normally. This is my 3rd Range Rover Sport with the 5.0L V8 engine, and neither of my two prior vehicles experienced this phenomenon. It seems to be applicable to the 2018+ models only. This must be fixed by Jaguar Land Rover!

Immediately after purchasing noted episodes of sudden loss of acceleration from a stop with vehicle warning lights. Repeated dealer visits failed to disclose source of issue. Finally on the interstate for a return dealer visit had sudden and almost total loss of engine power that resulted in near collision. Was only able to obtain speed of 48 mph with fully depressed accelerator. Second issue is episodes of complete and total failure of the cruise control to include total loss of radar proximity warning system while on the interstate. Thirdly have ongoing issues with touch screen vehicle controls, trailer tow package, failure of surround camera system, park assist system failure. In the first 90 days of ownership vehicle has not only been at the dealership multiple times, but also has been in the dealers possession over 50 days. Vehicle remains at the dealer as unsafe to drive for above issues that remain ongoing.

The 2018 model has a significant throttle delay when accelerating the car from a stop, resulting in delay in movement after pressing the accelerator pedal. This can be very dangerous when turning onto busy roads and when accelerating at stop signs, as it takes 1-2 seconds before the car registers that the accelerator pedal has been depressed, and then jolts forward at a high speed to "catch up". two Land Rover dealers (West chester pa and wayne pa) have confirmed that numerous customers have complained about this issue but they have not been able to fix it and have been researching solutions for months. The service manager in West chester pa confirmed that one of their service technicians, when testing this issue, was almost hit by a moving car in front of the dealership because the car he was driving did not react soon enough after he depressed the acceleration pedal. The wayne pa service dept confirmed that there is 0.8 second throttle delay when testing another car (not mine). I formerly submitted a case to Land Rover Jaguar of North America but they have not yet resolved this issue. These cars should not be on the road with this issue!
