NHTSA complaint #11149724, filed 2018-11, 60,000 miles

“While driving on the freeway at about 80 MPH, the vehicle's brake malfunctioned and I couldn't press the brake pedal; it would not even go down. There were 2 cars driving ahead of me on the left lane, therefore, I tried to pass to the right lane by checking whether there was any space because there were 2 trucks behind on the right 2 lanes. Luckily, I could pass to the right lanes and finally to the shoulder to try to slow down. Then, I drove the car to a nearby roadhouse area and I stopped the car there by handbrake. This was really unbelievable and terrifying. …”

“On march 24, 2018 at approximately 11:30 am I was traveling on the highway (florida turnpike north) at around 70 MPH with my wife and child, and suddenly the brakes stopped responding on my Land Rover evoque. The brake pedal was hard and could not be pressed, it would not respond. We were able to lose speed, merge to the right of the highway, and come to a stop on the shoulder. Neither before, during nor after the event, had any warning lights showing on the vehicle's dashboard. We called our dealer and they suggested to have the SUV towed to the nearest dealer. …”
