Owner report 11052884 · 2017-12-06 (December 6, 2017)
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 S…

Owner report 11360477 · 2020-09-22 (September 22, 2020)
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.

The suspension would not raise back up, and the dashboard displayed suspension warnings. The vehicle lowered itself immediately after the steerin…
