Vehicle Speed Control problem #1

When vehicle is under 10 miles an hour or briefly stopped and pressure is removed from accelerator, when pressing accelerator to move again there is a 1-2 second delay in response. Transmission seems to be in wrong gear then shifts after a delay resulting in car not responding to throttle input then jumping unexpectedly. This is a safety issue when executing left or right turns into traffic since car doesn't respond as expected and normal. Very easy to reproduce this issue.

Vehicle Speed Control problem #2

Laggy acceleration at "rolling stop" speeds of 2-10 mph. 2-4 second delay merging into traffic or turning into traffic. No amount of accelerator will alleviate the lag. Supercharged v6 gas engine.

Vehicle Speed Control problem #3

New vehicle, less than 600 miles, erratic gas pedal, start at stop sign, car lags/stalls. Been at dealership for 3 weeks, they tell me it is within Land Rover spec. Car severely hesitates when going from stop. Been almost hit broad side three times. This happens no matter if the eco stop/start is active or not. Will not drive this vehicle, very dangerous. Not getting anywhere with dealer for help. Dealer says Land Rover investigating. Also, back up camera non operative, third one installed, still not working and have to order from uk.
