confusion about HDC

What do you mean by "snatching?"

That brake-episode sounds really scary. I have had nothing like that happen to me.

Hello All,

I purchased a 2006 LR3 SE7 on April 1st. To date I have 2800 miles on the vehicle. Today I experienced something really scary. I was backing out of my barbershop parking lot this morning (up a gradual incline). I put the vehicle into drive and put my foot on the brake. As soon as my foot hit the brake the car kept rolling and jerking (going down a gradual decline...nothing steep). I literally had the brake to the floor and the LR3 would not stop. I was almost hit by an oncoming 18-wheeler, but was able to cut the wheel hard right to get parallel to the street I was turning onto. This is my first Land Rover purchase and up to this point I've enjoyed the truck tremendously. However, I can only imagine what would have happened if I had a wife and kids or didn't have the reaction response time I had this morning. Service is closed for today, but I wanted to solicit feedback for similar experiences or stories. I simply can't drive a vehicle with those types of glitches. I've also noticed a snatching between applying the brake and pressing the accelerator. I thought at first it was me imagining things, but it's been happening more and more. I hope I haven't gotten a bad apple. God knows I can't take another one like I had with my 2003 Lincoln Navigator. Any feedback would be great.

that's really scary.

i'd leave that at the dealer and not accept the truck back until they have reproduced and fixed the behavior. don't accept the "sorry we didn't see anything wrong" reply this time. you're right, sh*t like that can **** you. wow.

let us know how it goes.
