Smell gasoline and gasoline on ground. Recall exists for fuel tank but informed my model is not covered but the flange must be damaged as car is currently leaking gas. Car is at Range Rover dealership who says not covered but their is an existing safety recall for my 2011 Range Rover Sports

I was making a u-turn onto a busy 4 lane highway which the speed limit was 45mph. Once I made my turn the truck starting putting and not going over 5mph. There was a very loud smell of gas. I barely made off the highway away from the incoming traffic. On the dash Restricted Performance was illuminated. I had to get the vehicle towed. I was terrified because my daughter and I commute everyday and that issue with fuel could have been horrific. I called the dealer they advised me that the part for the recall is depleted and it could be weeks or even months before they hear anything.

2011 RANGE ROVER SPORT. CONSUMER WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHEN REPLACEMENT PARTS WILL BE AVAILBLE IN ORDER TO PERFORM SAFETY RECALL N623.

The vehicle is leaking fuel close to the inside of the rear tire by the gas cap side. When I pump gas it doesn’t just drip, it’s pouring out the bottom of the vehicle and running down wires and parts of the car.

GAS LEAKING FROM THE FLANGE WHILE DRIVING. FLANGE WAS REPLACED. I WOULD LIKE TO REPORT THIS REPAIR AS A CONCERN. I HAVE NEVER OWNED A VEHICLE THAT HAD A GAS LEAK. I LOST MY SENSE OF SMELL 20 YEARS AGO AND WOULD NOT HAVE KNOW OF THE GAS SMELL IF MY DAUGHTER HAD NOT MADE ME AWARE OF IT. I SPOKE WITH THE DEALER ABOUT A POTENTIAL RECALL INVESTIGATION ON THE FLANGE AND THEY WERE UNAWARE OF ANY RECALL INVESTIGATION. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS ISSUE AND SHOULD BE A RECALL BY LAND ROVER.

SMELL OF FUEL ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF VEHICLE, GET NOTICEABLY STRONGER AFTER DRIVING VEHICLE. AFTER INSPECTING AROUND THE TOP OF THE FUEL TANK I FOUND FUEL SQUIRTING OUT OF THE FUEL FILTER/PUMP WHICH IS SEATED IN THE TOP OF THE FUEL TANK. I HAD GONE ON LINE TO ASSISTED ME IN TRACKING DOWN THE ISSUE AND FOUND THIS IS A COMMON REPORTED ISSUE. MY VEHICLE ONLY HAS 111337 MILES ON THE ODOMETER AND I NOTICED A LOT OF THESE REPORTED ISSUE ARE FOR LAND ROVER VEHICLES THAT HAVE AROUND THE SAME MILAGE.

See attached document for complaint

THERE IS A STRONG SMELL OF GASOLINE IN THE CAB OF THE VEHICLE. A PRIVATE MECHANIC SAID THE 2011 MODELS ARE KNOWN TO HAVE ISSUES WITH THE GAS TANKS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 LAND ROVER RANGE ROVER SPORT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS A STRONG ODOR OF FUEL INSIDE AND OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE DUE TO THE ODOR. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO LAND ROVER TAMPA (11301 N FLORIDA AVE, TAMPA, FL 33612, (813) 930-2505) AND THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL FOR THE FAILURE AND THE VEHICLE'S WARRANTY HAD EXPIRED. THE DEALER DIAGNOSED THAT THE FUEL FILTER AND THE PLASTIC FLANGE AT THE TOP OF THE FUEL TANK FRACTURED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000.

THE CAR WAS LEAKING GASOLINE. LIKE ANOTHER COMPLAINT ON THIS SITE AND OTHERS ON THE INTERNET, A PLASTIC FLANGE ON THE FUEL PUMP CRACKS. THE DEALERSHIP HAS NO IDEA OF THIS KNOWN PROBLEM. I BELIEVE THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL ITEM BECAUSE LEAKING FUEL IS UNSAFE AND CAN CAUSE A CATASTROPHIC FIRE, EXPLOSION AND LOSS OF LIFE.

SMELLS LIKE GAS. DEFECTIVE FUEL FLANGE.

THE FUEL GAUGE IS NOT WORKING PROPERLY IT SHOWED A QUARTER TANK OF GAS LEFT, BUT THE CAR RAN OUT OF GAS. VERY CONCERNED ABOUT MY FAMILY RUNNING OUT OF GAS ON THE HIGHWAY. COULD BE A DANGEROUS SITUATION.
