ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN
The latest incidence of this problem occurred while paused in an intersection waiting to turn left when the flow of traffic allowed. As has happened on other occasions, when attempting to proceed forward from a stop, the transmission had changed to Neutral. The shifter position could not be changed without shutting off the car and turning it back on. All the while people behind are blaring their horns and oncoming traffic is resuming. This problem has occurred on numerous other occasion, most often when stopped at a stop light. It is an intermittent problem, and the majority of the time the car operates properly. However, it seems to be occurring more frequently lately. The problem has been reported to the dealer service department, and they could not duplicate it when the vehicle was provided for evaluation. They also say that there are no service bulletins on this. As an additional note, we thought perhaps this problem could be associated with the automatic shutoff feature, so we have been turning that off when driving the car. However, the problem still occurs when that is disabled.

POWER TRAIN
On several occasions the vehicle shifted by itself from D to N. Leaving you stuck until you shifted into P then back to D. This is scary and potentially dangerous. Dealer has only a service bulletin, so if you complain they can hopefully fix it. But, this is dangerous should have a recall.

POWER TRAIN, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I purchased my vehicle in Feb, 2022. In April, I was stopped at a red light and the automatic brake "hold" feature enabled. I pressed the gas and nothing happened. The vehicle went from Drive to Neutral. Had to put vehicle in Park and then put in drive. Again in May, 2022, it happened twice in one day. Stopped at stop sign vehicle went from Drive to Neutral. Called service - was told it was a "computer update". June 2022, I was driving down a street and the automatic emergency brake enabled for no reason whatsoever. I had the "computer update" in June, 2022. I now drive with the Automatic On/Off enabled so the car does not shut off when at a stop. Still very to nerve wracking to drive.

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN, STEERING
I purchased a Range Rover Velar on 8 January 2022. Since then, it has switched from drive to neutral without prompting on 6 occasions. Most recently 24th March, 30th April, 8th April, 10th May and 23rd May. I took it to the dealership in February spoke with service advisor and he told me it's a known problem. They cleared some codes and this is still happening. I feel unsafe and this has to stop. While driving today (23rd May), the Velar switch from drive to neutral while changing lanes. My brain and body can not deal with this impending calamity. My sanity can't handle it.
