PLEASE file with the NTSB! Sometimes it takes that to get them moving. From what I read they have known about this for a year or more....

Well Chris Burnett was very helpful to me and we didn't buy there at LR Wilmington.
LR Main Line in Wayne has excellent CS I've been told and LR Willow Grove will be our service centrr.
As a new LR owner purchased from an Infiniti dlr we have no first hand experiences yet.

Default Kinda weird but seems a lot better

After only driving our D5 for a week, I've complained about the laggy acceleration problem here and read what all the dlr visits have produced...no real solution.
I was fiddling with the driver settings and changed the gear paddles under vehicle settings > convenience settings to work in D and S. Once I did that the lagging seemed to lessen significantly. Not sure how it affects the TCU, but I'll take.
Let me know if others experience similarly.

Default Acceleration Lag Supposedly Fixed

Good news! My dealer just informed me that they fixed my acceleration lag. After the second visit. They are refinishing my wheels so I won't get my Disco back til Monday. I'll update if the lag is totally gone. Can't wait to drive it.

IF you can find out how, or if there is a bulletin that would be great. Just got mine back again today with "all" updated software and mine is still the same.
Thx.

Hi Everyone, I am officially out of the 2018 Disco 5 Luxe and now an owner of a 2019 RRS Dynamic. Kudos to Wilde Land Rover in Sarasota, FL for taking the Disco back and putting me into the RRS Dynamic. The culture of the Wilde Automotive group is one rarely seen in the automotive industry and their goal was to keep me a happy customer, which they have always done. Good luck with your laggy accelerators and most of all, be safe!

I just filed and am also looking at selling the D5 for a 2016 LR4. I miss the LR4 and even though my 18 HSE Lux has everything I want on it... the engine lag is making it really difficult for me to love this car. Or stick with it...
