The sort[] filter is underpinned by the javascript sort() function, which is not guaranteed to be stable. That is, each time a sort is encountered it can just grab the array however it wants, ignoring the original sort order.
One work-around would be to make a field, e.g. "sortby", that concatenates the vehicle name and the title field. A button could run a <list> with <action-setfield> to set this field for you automatically rather than populating by hand. Then just sort by the sortby field. You could have multiple sortby fields (e.g. sortbyVehicleOwner) for different ways you want to sort.
