Problem overview

Some Land Rover Freelander owners report experiencing stalling issues when shifting to reverse after a battery boost, which may be caused by several underlying factors. These include a faulty solenoid, clogged transmission fluid lines, or problems with the fuel system such as a bad fuel pump or fuel filter. Additionally, issues with the idle control valve, throttle position sensor, or oxygen sensors may contribute to the stalling. Some owners also note that the problem could be linked to the transmission itself, potentially due to a blocked transmission cooler circuit or degraded transmission fluid. Furthermore, stalling in reverse may arise from clogged fuel injectors or gearbox issues. It is recommended that affected owners have their vehicles inspected by a qualified mechanic to accurately diagnose and resolve the stalling problem.
