The contact owns a 2006 Land Rover Lr3. While slowly backing up the vehicle, it suddenly accelerated very fast into a twelve inch cement wall. There were no injuries.

2006 range rover / Lr3 - 15 miles on vehicle. Experienced rapid acceleration instead of braking three times the first time we drove the car after taking it home. Could not stop the car while pushing hard on the brake with both feet. Engine raced instead. It did slow down at first then lunged forward through a stop sign, then a stop light, onto a highway etc. Luckily no crashes. Auto dealer could not find anything wrong, neither could Land Rover. Ordered another new vehicle, same make and model and the same thing happened! drove it 2 hours and then it would not stop fully at a stop sign. It speeded up instead and raced across a highway. Returned that car also and won't buy another one. Dealer did refund our money and said it was a Land Rover problem. My wife and I were in the car together both times. Service dept. Suggested I was a fault by applying the gas and brake at the same time. Said the pedals are close together. This car should be recalled. I bought two of them and they both did the same thing. Someone is going to be seriously injured if they don't.
