The car was purchased on 4/10/17 and despite it being new, it had its faults. I had brought to Land Rover orlando and a range rover engineer/specialist's attention that the car's convenience features ' adapt. Cruise cntl with queue assist and intelligent (emergency braking) - all of which, were and up to the accident, not functioning properly. Although the lr dealership and/or rr engineer/specialist were reached out to a few times, despite the rr engineer/specialist inspecting and running diagnostics, no one was able to successfully and fully address and fulfill my concerns. The end result was that I was told to file a complaint to the manufacturer, which I did a few times and never received a follow up. The accident took place on 11/4/20 at around 8:15 am. After turning the car on and putting my seat belt on, I shifted the car into reverse with my foot still firmly on the brake and suddenly the car's RPM jumped abruptly, resulting in me reversing into a car behind me. Having just gotten into an accident and calmly acknowledging the situation, I proceeded to shift the car into drive to move it and all of a sudden, again, the RPM jumped abruptly, causing the car to jump forward, back towards the direction I just came from, and despite trying to control the car and slow it down, the car uncontrollably drove over the curb and through a fence, pulling the fence out of place and it's concrete foundation of about two feet, and went into high speed and flew about thirty to forty feet horizontally until finally collapsing in a dry retention pond about fifteen feet below. Since I bought this car I haven't been satisfied with the safety of it. It is without doubt that I have suffered medical and car damage due to this incident. Additionally, still to this day, 11/18/20, I am suffering medical damages to my face, back, and body and mind as a whole.
