My Land Rover evoque was running in my driveway in the park position (warming up). I stepped out of the vehicle to grab something from my house and within minutes I heard a bang, the car went into drive and smashed into my fence, continued to smash through the fence and landed into my pool. It stopped there and needed to be towed out. This is the second instance. The first instance happened in March 2015. My car was in park in the driveway. I started the car, ran back into my house and heard a loud bang. The car slammed into my fence but luckily a cement post stopped it. When I approached the car it was in the park gear and luckily no external damage was done. This shift gear needs to be looked at for a potential recall.

I was stopped at a stop light with my foot on the brake pedal. Suddenly the engine RPM went to wide open throttle. I mashed on the brake as hard as I could but the vehicle kept going forward. My son was in the car in front of me and even though his windows were closed as it is cold he heard the engine screaming and saw the vehicle moving forward. He moved forward so I did not hit him. I was able to put the vehicle in park and then the engine went back to idle.
