Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“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. …”
NHTSA complaint #11052884, filed 2017-12, 72,000 miles“The fuel flange at the top of my fuel tank cracked and was leaking gas fumes. The dealer stated that this is a common problem that they are seeing. If I parked next to a flame source (water heater, furnace, etc) this could be a potential safety problem along with the environmental problem of the fumes escaping into the atmosphere.”
NHTSA complaint #11360477, filed 2020-09“My mechanic observed the fuel tank shield (WFN500021) in the undercarriage was totally rusted-out. This fuel tank shield holds the fuel tank. The part was completely rusted and the concern is that the fuel tank will fall out while driving - and igniting. I have shopped around for parts - every dealer has the part on back order. I purchased an after market fuel tank shield on ebay - it does not fit properly. I also tried finding the same part at junk-yards but those are completely rusted out as well. …”
