The contact owns a 2015 Land Rover Range Rover Sport. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, she smelled an abnormal fuel odor throughout the vehicle.

The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 67,000.
Overnight, my car dumped all of my fuel onto the garage floor beneath my car.
THE FUEL SYSTEM OF THE 2015 RANGE ROVER SPORT DOES NOT ALLOW THE USER TO APPROPRIATELY FILL THE GAS TANK WITH FUEL WITHOUT THE PUMP SHUTTING OFF AFTER JUST EVERY COUPLE OF GALLONS. THERE IS NO WAY TO KNOW THAT THE TANK IS FULL WITHOUT FILLING THE TANK TO THE POINT THAT GAS SPILLS OUT NECK OF THE GAS TANK. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN TAKEN TO THE DEALER TWICE FOR THE PROBLEM. LAND ROVER ACKNOWLEDGED THAT THERE IS A DESIGN FLAW IN THE FUEL TANK AND THEY HAVE REPRODUCED THE PROBLEM EVER TIME THEY HAVE TESTED IT. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY AS WELL AS ENVIRONMENTAL PROBLEM. THE DRIVER OF THE VEHICLE IS NOT ABLE TO FILL THE TANK WITHOUT MANY RESETS OF THE PUMP AND ULTIMATELY SPILLING FUEL TO KNOW THAT THE TANK IS FULL. I HAVE TAKEN THIS CASE TO LAND ROVER CORPORATE OFFICES AND THEY ACKNOWLEDGE THE ISSUE BUT SAID THERE IS NOTHING THAT THEY CAN DO ABOUT IT AT THIS TIME. *TR
