Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Vehicle was leaking fuel. I could always smell gas but could see nothing dripping. Was driving down the freeway when the vehicle just died. The gas monitor said I had 50 miles to go before needing fuel. I got it towed in and was told the fuel pump was leaking. This was dangerous because I had no warning and was in heavy traffic of 70mph when it just died on a bridge. They tow cost me almost $300 to get it to shop. …”
NHTSA complaint #11220260, filed 2019-06, 135,000 miles“Smelled fuel smell in the garage but never any drips in the garage. After investigation, fuel is leaking from top of tank and blowing back of the back of the vehicle, part of which is the tail pipe. Leak is coming from inline filter at the top of the tank. Common problem, this is dangerous and needs to be a recall.”
NHTSA complaint #11280630, filed 2019-11, 159,000 miles“The petrol flange/fuel filter developed a crack in the top causing fuel to spray out the top of the tank when the engine was running. The tank is under the vehicle next to the exhaust system, so there is potential for a fire. There was a strong fuel smell after driving the vehicle, but no fuel dripping when parked. The problem was diagnosed with an internet search which turned up several other instances of the same problem including a video on youtube showing the same issue. Further research revealed an investigation on the issue: NHTSA action number: pe20018. …”

Upon investigation - the dealer admitted all 2010 LR4 and sport range rovers are having the problem - they do not know how to fix it!!”
NHTSA complaint #10355393, filed 2010-09, 10,100 miles“Recall caused full engine failure which caused 75mph to abrupt stop on Highway. Violently shaking and leaked gas inside vehicle. I was confused because I had no collision and liberty mutual denied my claims, but I was hurt from a recall - dealer frequently recorded as fixed during a scam that caused me to lose my full savings and be stuck with a unfixed covered car. …”
