Car switching into neutral randomly and brakes do not engage immediately/lag in response after engaging brake pedal.
((((exact same story as another report filed: nhtsa id number:11076170))) . i got to a red light, turned green i go, get up to 25mph, car cuts out (complete loss of power). *my engine light is now on. i get the car to start i immediately turn around to get home. * my car looses all power and shuts off in the freeway home. * i finally get the vehicle home, and my husband ran diagnostics. - the computer is saying it is the variable valve timing control solenoid issue. * my car only has @80,000 miles on it, and should not have this issue. . **this is a huge safety concern. * i haven't contacted corporate jaguar land rover yet. this seems to be a very big reoccurring issue, with this year/make/model, and it seems like land rover is doing nothing about it. . looks like it may be time to lawyer up, and set up a class action! . semper fidelis

I was driving to work with my baby in the back seat. i got to a red light, turned green i go, get up to 40mph, car cuts out (complete loss of power). the person behind me swirves off the road to miss me. i am stuck in the middle of hwy 17 (very busy) the road for 5 minutes trying to reatart. my engine light is now on. i get the car to start i immediately turn around to get my car and my baby home. i am up to 55mph still on hwy 17 in jacksonville nc. my car looses all power and shuts off, and the cars behimd me slams on brakes and there air bags come out. nothing was hit, but it was close. i took it to land rover in wilmington nc they are saying it is the variable valve timing control solenoid. the mechanic ryan told me that this happens a few times a year, and he has worked on many with the same issue. my car only has 60,000 miles on it, and should not have this issue. this is a huge safety concern of mine, me and my child could have been hurt. i contacted corporate jaguar land rover and told them of the issue i had and they said there is nothing they can do. this is a reoccurring issue, and nothing is being done about it, and if i wouldnt have thought fast during my incident i could have lost my life or even worse my childs.
