NHTSA Complaint #11366722 — 2012 LAND ROVER LR4

WE BOUGHT THIS 2012 LAND ROVER LR4 WITH 44K MILES ABOUT THREE WEEKS AGO. WE STARTED NOTICING A STRONG GASOLINE ODOR IN THE GARAGE EVER SINCE WE STARTED PARKING THIS CAR IN THE GARAGE. THE ODOR IS STRONGER AFTER WE DRIVE THE CAR AROUND ESPECIALLY IF THE TANK IS FULL. UPON RESEARCHING ENTHUSIAST FORUMS ABOUT LAND ROVERS AND ESPECIALLY LR4, THERE SEEMS TO BE A COMMON ISSUE AROUND FUEL LEAK DUE TO SOME SORT OF FLANGE THAT HOLDS THE FUEL PUMP IN PLACE. RESEARCHING THE NHTSA DATABASE REVEALED THAT THERE ARE MULTIPLE REPORTS OF FUEL LEAK FROM LR4 CARS OF THE SAME GENERATION. THE COST TO FIX THIS VARIES FROM A FEW HUNDRED DOLLARS TO CLOSE TO TWO THOUSAND DOLLARS. I AM GOING TO TAKE THE CAR TO THE DEALER TO DIAGNOSE WHERE IT IS LEAKING FUEL FROM BUT NEEDED A NHTSA COMPLAINT NUMBER TO GO WITH IT SO I AM REPORTING THE ISSUE AS A SAFETY CONCERN DUE TO THE POTENTIAL FIRE HAZARD THIS CREATES. WE STARTED PARKING THE CAR OUTSIDE THE GARAGE AWAY FROM THE HOUSE UNTIL WE CAN GET THIS FIXED.
