| Check for transmission software update, as it initially seemed to have the must discussed problem of harsh and irregular shifting when rolling to a stop and then re-accelerating. this problem has continued intermittantly and now the vehicle sometimes drops completely out of gear when slowing down or turning. the vehicle then dropped out of gear and i had no acceleration, as it was suddenly like i was in neutral. high rpm.... but no movement. after a few seconds, the transmission seems to find drive and i can then move forward with normal acceleration. *tr | |||

| 2006 land rover lr2 hse edition. defective transmission. ongoing serious problems. car goes from first gear, then into neutral, then jolts forward unexpectedly when applying gas...at a stop sign, for example. poor low speed transmission shifts. annoying beyond belief, unsafe, too. not what one expects in a $53,000 car. land rover claims it's getting to know my driving. now they finally admit there is a problem and state a new software will fix it. well, the last software update made it worse. very concerned, very annoyed. *jb | |||
