My Freelander nearly killed me yesterday! Was accelerating up a hill and when releasing pedal car just kept max throttle, had to use all the force I could to bring to a stop before cutting the engine. Is this a common issue???

How odd...a freebie with a 2.5n/a engine...reverse technology! Did you at any point consider dipping the clutch, putting it into neutral and coasting to a stop before removing key? Or did you just go into a blind panic, **** your pants and scream like a nun getting banged by King Dong?
