NHTSA Complaint #10862797 — 2015 LAND ROVER RANGE ROVER

WHEN FUELING THE VEHICLE, THE FUEL HANDLE CONSTANTLY STOPS DUE TO A VEHICLE DESIGN DEFECT. IT CAN SOMETIMES TAKE TEN TO FIFTEEN ATTEMPTS TO COMPLETE THE FUELING OF THE VEHICLE. THE PROBLEM IS THAT YOU CAN NEVER KNOW WHEN THE FUEL TANK IS FULL SO THAT WHILE FUELING THE VEHICLE THE TANK CAN OVER FILL AND OVER FLOW CAUSING THE EXCESS FUEL TO GET ALLOVER YOUR HAND, THE SIDE OF THE CAR AND THE GROUND. THIS CAN RUIN THE FINISH OF THE VEHICLE BUT EVEN MORE IMPORTANTLY; THERE IS A DANGER THAT A SPARK OF ANY KIND CAN IGNITE THE EXCESS FUEL AND CAUSE AN EXPLOSION. I HAD REPORTED THIS TO THE DEALER SOON AFTER I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IN LATE 2014, THEY KNOW ABOUT THE PROBLEM BUT HAD NO SOLUTION. I HAVE GROWN TIRED AND AFRAID OF THIS SO I REPORTED IT TODAY DIRECTLY TO RANGE ROVER CUSTOMER SERVICE (BRIDGETTE) AND SHE SAID THAT THEY ALSO KNEW ABOUT THE PROBLEM AND ARE STILL WORKING ON IT OVER A YEAR LATER. THERE IS NO CURRENT FIX AND I BELIEVE THAT THE NHTSA SHOULD LOOK INTO IT BEFORE THERE IS A FATAL ACCIDENT.
