Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“On four different occasions over the course of about 10 years, with foot pressing hard on brake toward bottom left side of the brake, the car accelerated. First time, I was at an atm. Foot was on the brake. I was leaning out the window getting money out of the atm and the car accelerated. A loud noise of it ramping up and then it jolted forward. I immediately sat back straight in the car keeping my foot on the brake. Within about 3 feet the car stopped. Second time was at a fast food restaurant. Leaning out to get the food, the car accelerated. Made the loud ramping up sound. …”

In speaking with the dealer, there is no service directive by lr to replace the brakelines at some point. I spoke to lr today and they told me that after warranty its the owners problem to monitor the car. The dealer also noted that another lr model, the sport, there is a maintenance directive to replace the brake hoses at 75,000 miles. Obviously, this is a very serious issue. Someone could have been injured or killed. …”
