Electrical System problem #1

Stopped at a stoplight behind another vehicle, when the engine suddenly revved and the vehicle took off. The vehicle suddenly accelerated on its own with a foot already on the brake- we continued to push on the brake and veered off to the side but clipped the vehicle in front of us. It was like we had no control over the vehicle.

Electrical System problem #2

The Land Rover radios have a dangerously slow latency time when reacting to touch inputs. On some operations it take 3-4 seconds for the radio to react. Most operations are in the 1-2 second range. This is a major distracted driving issue. Input latency should never be this excessive - it requires you to take your eyes off the road repeatably because you can't determine if the radio/nav system has detected your input. The dealer claims there is no fix from Land Rover corporate. This issue is reported by several sources on-line. Lr should release and engineering update in the interest of safety.
