    My issue was not riding the brakes which is strictly a no no, but simply brushing the pedal as you moved your foot, It is very sensitive, try it. (Maybe its my big feet! ha! ha!)
    Only happened a couple of times but disconcerting at a roundabout with an unexpected power delay.

    Same with my D3 and I'm sure plenty of modern cars.
    I jump between multiple vehicles, the 2 driven most frequently are small capacity petrol turbos and are setup for left foot braking, responding well to minor adjustments via mixed pedal input.
    Although I'm well aware of this in the D3 it still catches me occasionally.

    I haven't noticed it off-road so suspect low-range selection and/or lower speed might change the tolerance to some brake pedal.

    hill start assist?

    I got the p big time with the 5 cyl ranger-stalled it at every roundabout or up hill intersection.it has a traction control button you turn off.

    sometimes it would lock the brakes other times it didn't.the worst time is reversing into a shed with trailer.

    some drivers didn't know it was there-it shows up with your driving style.

    So the brake switch was faulty they have replaced it (10,000k's), much better. Whilst you still have to be careful with the left foot braking, it was more how sensative it was even if you accidently lightly brushed the pedal the car would loose all power, now it's fine.

    Spoke with LR, turns out that the brake overides the accelerator, a safety thing.?

    So when I asked abour reversing trailers etc up hill (which i have to do at our country property) he said engage low. seriously? Just cannot reverse a trailer normally. Whilst technology is good in some instances, it unecessarily complicates in others.
