Land Rover brake problems

Owners have filed 427 complaints with NHTSA about the braking system on Land Rover vehicles — 7% of everything reported about the brand, across 17 models. The model that accounts for most of them is the Land Rover Discovery, worst in 1996.

These are raw counts. A model that sold in millions appears near the top for that reason alone — the grade never compares one model with another.
