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.
I am unhappy that i cant buy a landrover defender90 in usa. that is the best 4x4 ever made. and it is impossible to import one. *tr
