07 LR3 grinding, seems to be braking while trying to accelerate
We just purchased a 2007 LR3 SE a few months ago. We’ve had a suspension fault message since the beginning, stemming from a bad ride height sensor that is in the process of being replaced, along with recalibration. This doesn’t cause us any issues except for lowering overnight, compressor raises it right up once it’s started up. We have had the control arms and all inspected, with no issues reported. The problem that is puzzling us, is that on occasion (0-2 times a week), we have loud bumping when turning sharp right into or out of the driveway/a parking spot. It happens very rarely. Today, after experiencing the bumping, it was followed by loud grinding sounds and the car essentially braking while I was trying to accelerate slowly. I waited and tried again, still happened, waited again and the car was fine. Any ideas on what to look at? Our indie shop couldn’t recreate it.

We’ve actually narrowed it down to the HDC kicking on for whatever reason. We’re on flat surface, going less than 10 mph, and the button has not been pushed, nor has the light on the dash come on. After a minute or so, the HDC fault/special programs off message appears, and it no longer does it. Trying to figure out how that would happen, hoping the suspension issue may be triggering it? All guesses, from

steering angle calibration or wheel speed sensor calibration, something you could DIY with a GAP tool or a mechanic could do
Had a similar issue to yours on tight freeway cloverleafs, HDC would kick on and the stability control light would flicker on and off, stopped after doing calibration on one of those things.
