2018 Land Rover Range Rover Sport engine problems

The 2018 model has a significant throttle delay when accelerating the car from a stop, resulting in delay in movement after pressing the accelerator pedal. This can be very dangerous when turning onto busy roads and when accelerating at stop signs, as it takes 1-2 seconds before the car registers that the accelerator pedal has been depressed, and then jolts forward at a high speed to "catch up".

The contact owns a 2018 Land Rover Range Rover Sport. The contact stated that while driving approximately 65 MPH, the vehicle started to decelerate unintendedly. Additionally, there was a rattling sound present under the vehicle. The contact stated that the check engine warning light was briefly illuminated. After pulling over to the side roadway and parking the vehicle, the vehicle was towed to the local dealer to be diagnosed.
