Automatic Transmission Problems of Land Rover Discovery

2000 Discovery ii purchased off the show room floor from main line Land Rover in haverford PA in April 00. June 25, 2000 I was traveling 60 mph on the NJ turnpike when the vehicle went out of control , shooting off to the right sideways without steering control. Vehicle turned 180 degrees in the middle of the highway and was stopped by the steel guard rail. The vehicle was, at that point, facing in the opposite direction of the traffic. The vehicle was kept by the body shop and the dealer (both in cherry hill, NJ) for nearly 4 months. The body shop could not get the vehicle to drive straight. The dealer eventually replaced the steering box. At the next servicing, main line Land Rover replaced the recalled pulley and belts. I ahve also had continuing problems with the transmission. It always seems to drag. I have returned the vehicle to the dealer 3 times for continued problems with the steering and the transmission. They continually claim the vehicle is ok.

Vehicle from a standstill was put in reverse gear, while the brake was applied attempted to back the vehicle up, the truck accelarated at an high rate of speed in reverse gear on its own.

When you put the vehicle in reverse, the engine accelerates to a high rate of speed and take off in reverse gear. The only way to stop the vehicle is turning the ignition off.

When it is cold, transmission feels like its slipping/rpms go up/shifter bangs into gear.
