| Throttle/shifting issues at low speed (Defender 90 '25) | |
Hello there!
Just got my 2025 X-DYNAMIC HSE Ingenium 3,0 litre 6-cylinder 400PS Turbocharged Petrol MHEV (Automatic) a few days ago and I've been having issues with throttle and weird gear shifting particularly at low speeds. The following summarizes it nicely:
- Coming out of slow corners it's as if the throttle doesn't “catch” sometimes, I’ll push the accelerator down and nothing happens for a second or two, then it suddenly takes off.
- This is also apparent when approaching a roundabout and slowing down, then deciding to pick up speed again, the throttle response is exceptionally delayed
- In stop and go traffic it's impossible to drive smoothly, the car hesitates between 1st and 2nd gear around the 20-25km/h range. Sometimes randomly downshifting when I slightly let go of the accelerator with a noticeable jerking sensation in the vehicle
This all feels extremely dangerous to me as it impacts my ability to confidently overtake, merge into a highway, etc. I can feel people behind me in traffic are already  .
This is all in Comfort mode. My car does not have Dynamic mode. And putting it in S mode does make it a tiny, just a tiny bit better but all the issues are still there.
Would appreciate any insight!
