Example complaints
Fuel system: “As original owner of the rangerover, during my second year of ownership the fuel injectors gave way where the gas would not flow to the tank. The gas pump would consistently shutoff the gas to the point you could not fill o your tank. I was under warranty at this point and it was fixed by the dealership. Almost two years later , appx 1.75 years later, the fuel injector is causing the same issue. When trying to gas up, the injector or the system itself doesn't allow the gas to auto fill up. Also when manually pumping for gas the injector keeps shutting the gas flow off. …”
