Car Accelerates On Its Own Problems of Land Rover LR3

I was pulling into a staples store parking space and went to stop. The Lr3 accelerated as I was braking and the powerful engine revved & wanted to keep driving the Lr3 forward. I kept my foot on the brake and immediateley shifted the Lr3 into park; shifted back & forth before the Lr3 stopped idle. Luckily there were no people or cars directly in front of me, but I did go across the lane and nearly hit a parked car. I am so concerned that I drove directly to the library; talked to a friend who said it sounded like "sudden acceleration", so I googled "2007 Lr3 sudden accleration"; this issue is on Land Rover forums, but there is no consistant definitive cause/solution to the issue. Filing a complaint with NHTSA and calling the mechanic tomorrow.

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. The contact had to turn off the vehicle to stop it from accelerating further. She will take the vehicle to the dealer in a few days because she lives on an island. There was approximately $1,400 worth of damage. The failure mileage was 14,000.

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.
