2008 Freelander 2 TD4 HST Auto Stornoway Grey

Freelander 2 HST Gone again

Had my 08 Hst picked by the local garage on thursday via Landrover breakdown,it decided to drive it self,driving down the lanes to the main road all ok,then hit the main road,put my foot down abit,took my foot of the power and the car kept on pulling away at speed Been given a FL2 HSE by the hire company its a TIP .
Not very happy at the moment with the LR brand..dont think i will buy any more not worth the money you pay,.
I have given the brand a good run,now i think i will move brands/model.

you mean the one where independent findings have discovered that the sudden acceleration issues are down to user error.... Phil

My reaction to the car picking up speed...was to put my foot down further dont know why i did that,after i did that the car did slow down on its own..............two kids in the back,i was not happy.
Not heard anything from the dealers so it will be next week now,more hassle-phone calls.

"Toyota Freelander 2" should maybe be Freelander 1 as lots of the Rav 2.2 diesels 2006 on are having cylinder head and head gasket failures. All FL2's (3) Gone
2011 Mercedes C180 CGI Gone
FL2 GS Auto SD with heated leather, factory tints, alloy spare and a few other bits.
