general problems of the 2005 Land Rover LR3

After coming to a complete stop, the engine revved up, almost getting into an accident, had to stand on the brake in order to keep it from taking off, immediately shifted to neutral, engine continued racing while in nuetral.

This description was blank.

I purchased this vehicle 5 weeks ago. I have already made 2 payments on it. In those 5 weeks, I was able to drive my vehicle in satisfactory condition for about a week. While driving the vehicle in the second week, I experienced power failure and I called the dealership. I was told that I probably had "bad gas" and that if it did not conitinue to lose power, I would be all right. The problems shortly ended after about 10 miles, so I continued. That same week, I got an alert from the car's computer that told me to contact the dealership immediately. I did so and the dealership picked up the vehicle. It was returned after 3 days and I was told the only problem was that the gas cap was not put on tightly enough. The first of the next week, I was on my way out of town, and experienced the same loss of power. I drove it immediately to the dealership and after waiting an hour, was told it would take about 2 hours to fix the problem- a vaccum leak. When I did not receive the car back 2 business days later (after multiple calls to the dealership), I was told the engine had a noise and they did not know how to fix it. Now I am being told they are bringing in a specialist and hope to have it back to me in a few days-"it will take several more days, but we think it can be fixed. " they have now had my vehicle for a week and half for this last problem- and do not forsee getting it back this week. I do not think that a $53,000 brand new vehicle should be experiencing these kinds of mechanical problems.
