It seems like the car what's to stall and I noticed the rpms would shoot up and then drop and the car just about stalls. This happened to my wife and I about 8 different times in the last 4 months while driving and about 4 times while waiting for a red light to change or while stopped.

Prior to event- car would stall out, would have to rev up to get going. Intermittent problems. 2008 landrover lr2 shuts off at idle- bad fuel pump at 50, 000 miles multiple visits to the landrover dealership shop, fuel pump module fixed under warranty as per landrovers suggestion- prior to 50,000 miles, after hitting 50,000 miles and warranty no longer valid, problem found! Fuel pump needs replaced for a very unreasonable $ rate . (as originally suggested by owners) see what the shop didn't know was prior to them replacing the module and reading the codes, I went and had the codes read at another shop. The dealership fixed code- po62800, when actually the codes that the check engine light was reading was 0087, 0305, 0306, 0300. All codes that would have let you know that this was surely a fuel pump error. Obviously a scam, so that the warranty would run up, and we would have to pay out of pocket. In the end, when you read online, this is a very common problem with these vehicles, and these dealerships. In addition, they have also noted that the rear differential needs replaced?

After driving vehicle normally without any sign of a problem for about an hour then parking for about 20min the battery was dead, unable to start by jumping from several larger vehicles. No lights or other accessories left on. Following being towed to the dealer to have the battery replaced, no explanation for battery failure. It was returned to us on 1/26/08. The vehicle then again stalled in the street backing out of the driveway. This occurred less than 24 hours, on 1/27/08, after we received the car back from the dealer. Again towed to dealer who could not diagnose any problem, and offered no explanation for this problem. Dealer stated the vehicle's computer system showed no fault codes.
