I WAS DRIVING IN THE FREEWAY WHEN SUDDENLY MY 2003 RANGE ROVER STARTED TO SLOW DOWN AND COMPLETELY STOPPED MAKING A LOUD GRINDING NOISE WHEN I STEPPED ON THE GAS PEDAL. THIS IS THE 2ND TIME THIS HAPPENS. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
START/STOP FEATURE SHUTS THE ENGINE DOWN WHEN STOPPED. ENGINE RESTARTS UPON RELEASE OF BRAKE PEDAL. CAR LURCHES FORWARD AS ENGINE RESTARTS. THIS NEARLY RESULTED IN A PEDESTRIAN COLLISION. PEDESTRIAN WAS CROSSING AGAINST GREEN LIGHT. WHEN BRAKE PEDAL WAS RELEASED, THE CAR LURCHED FORWARD AS ENGINE RESTARTED NEARLY RESULTING IN UNAVOIDABLE COLLISION WITH PEDESTRIAN. START/STOP SYSTEM CANNOT BE PERMANENTLY DISABLED.
