This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
The contact owns a 2012 Land Rover Range rover. While driving 70 mph, the brakes malfunctioned and jammed. The contact pulled the vehicle over to the shoulder and waited for it to stop on its own. The vehicle was towed to a dealer where it was diagnosed that the vacuum pump for the brakes had malfunctioned and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue. The VIN was invalid. The failure mileage was approximately 37,000.
My first incident I was approaching an intersection with a stop sign. I slowed down to stop at the stop sign and when I hit the brake the car accelerated through the intersection. I couldn't stop or control the car and thankfully avoided what could have been a major accident. The second time just minutes after this occurred, it happen exactly the same way. I slowed to stop at a stop sign and when I hit the brake the car accelerated right through the stop sign. At this point I was about a mile from home and very slowly drove a back road home and have not driven the car since.
