Recently, I've had ~4 occurrences of the car hesitating/stuttering after setting off where stop-start the engine has been off for approximately 20-60 seconds. The revs climb to approximately 1,200rpm and fluctuate at that level, regardless of how much acceleration is applied. After a 2-3 seconds it returns to normal. It's very unnerving especially when this happens after setting off from a junction/roundabout.
I called out Land Rover assist who say they been to a few (3+) instances of the same problem (all 2014 plate cars), but unfortunately the logging in the car does not show a problem. He did apply an "air path" update. Nevertheless the car is now at my local dealers.
Has anyone experienced this problem? Or know anymore about this issue?

Just was intending to post about a similar problem with my 2014 eD4.
I never leave the stop-start in active position. After having stopped and trying to drive away there is no reaction on throttle input, it feels like the engine is dying off, after a few seconds it does pick up again normally or first starts stuttering and picks up.
I recently almost had a serious crash on a round-about in heavy traffic when the engine did not respond to throttle input in the middle of the round-about.
But as you mention, in case of no fault code my dealer probably will stay silent. In the mean time my wife is very reluctant to drive the car again.
