I called the Jaguar Land Rover dealership located in Frisco, TX to schedule a maintenance appointment. Before asking what type of maintenance I needed the representative continued to tell me that my vehicle could not be serviced there. I asked why and was told they do not the tools to fix it due to it being a 2010 model. They also said I had 2 recalls but maybe I could try another service facility.
2021-08-11 Recall no. 21V635000 / Land Rovers recall # N623 were completed. Following the recall repair had to go back to dealer twice ( 9/15/22 & 10/22/22) for the same issue of the fuel smell in the vehicle could be driving, parked, or idling the smell remains the smell is very overpowering kids and I are getting bad headaches/light-headed. For sure it isn't safe and don't believe the initial fix was the answer and there is more to the recall.
while driving at approximately 70 mph on the highway, I encountered a severe issue that jeopardized my safety and the safety of others on the road.The problem manifested as a fuel leak, resulting in fumes inside the vehicle that caused impairment to my ability to operate the vehicle safely. This impairment led to the vehicle entering a gated mode and initiating aggressive braking, almost causing a collision.This incident is deeply alarming, and I believe it poses a serious risk to the well-being of drivers and passengers. I am reaching out to request an immediate investigation into this matter and to seek information on any safety recalls or issues related to the fuel system of the 2010 Land Rover LR4. Fuel tank flange failure caused complex problems for engine replacement needed. Not covered by land rover and was not repaired as reported

Back in Feb 2019 my LandRover suddenly leaked a large amount of gasoline and then broke down. It stopped running and needed the fuel rail & line replaced & stabilizer bar and bushings & subsequencely complete engine replacement. I also had fluid in the engine and wrecked the engine requiring us to replace the engine.
THE PETROL FLANGE/FUEL FILTER DEVELOPED A CRACK IN THE TOP CAUSING FUEL TO SPRAY OUT THE TOP OF THE TANK WHEN THE ENGINE WAS RUNNING. THE TANK IS UNDER THE VEHICLE NEXT TO THE EXHAUST SYSTEM, SO THERE IS POTENTIAL FOR A FIRE. THERE WAS A STRONG FUEL SMELL AFTER DRIVING THE VEHICLE, BUT NO FUEL DRIPPING WHEN PARKED. THE PROBLEM WAS DIAGNOSED WITH AN INTERNET SEARCH WHICH TURNED UP SEVERAL OTHER INSTANCES OF THE SAME PROBLEM INCLUDING A VIDEO ON YOUTUBE SHOWING THE SAME ISSUE. FURTHER RESEARCH REVEALED AN INVESTIGATION ON THE ISSUE: NHTSA ACTION NUMBER: PE20018. I REPLACED THE FILTER MYSELF AND WILL KEEP THE OLD ONE IN CASE IT IS NEEDED FOR THE INVESTIGATION. PLEASE CONTACT ME IF YOU NEED ADDITIONAL INFORMATION.
SMELLED FUEL SMELL IN THE GARAGE BUT NEVER ANY DRIPS IN THE GARAGE. AFTER INVESTIGATION, FUEL IS LEAKING FROM TOP OF TANK AND BLOWING BACK OF THE BACK OF THE VEHICLE, PART OF WHICH IS THE TAIL PIPE. LEAK IS COMING FROM INLINE FILTER AT THE TOP OF THE TANK. COMMON PROBLEM, THIS IS DANGEROUS AND NEEDS TO BE A RECALL.
VEHICLE WAS LEAKING FUEL. I COULD ALWAYS SMELL GAS BUT COULD SEE NOTHING DRIPPING. WAS DRIVING DOWN THE FREEWAY WHEN THE VEHICLE JUST DIED. THE GAS MONITOR SAID I HAD 50 MILES TO GO BEFORE NEEDING FUEL. I GOT IT TOWED IN AND WAS TOLD THE FUEL PUMP WAS LEAKING. THIS WAS DANGEROUS BECAUSE I HAD NO WARNING AND WAS IN HEAVY TRAFFIC OF 70MPH WHEN IT JUST DIED ON A BRIDGE. THEY TOW COST ME ALMOST $300 TO GET IT TO SHOP. THE NEXT DAY THEY TOLD ME THE GOOD NEWS IS I JUST RAN OUT OF GAS, AND THE BAD NEWS IS I HAVE A LEAK AROUND FUEL PUMP WHICH CAUSED IT TO GIVE A FALSE READING OF HOW MUCH FUEL I REALLY HAD. AS STRONG AS THE FUMES WERE IT'S A WONDER IT NEVER CAUGHT FIRE. THIS COST OVER $800 TO FIX. THE OTHER PROBLEM I HAD IS WHEN THE FUEL INJECTORS FAILED, AND I NEEDED A TOW TRUCK AGAIN. THE CAR GAVE A WARNING SAYING 'RESTRICTED PERFORMANCE' THE FAILURE OF THE FUEL INJECTORS CAUSED GAS TO LEAK AS WELL, AND THE SHOP HAD TO OPEN ALL IT DOORS AND WINDOWS. THIS TIME THE LEAKING FUEL WAS VISIBLE. THIS COST ME OVER $2600 TO FIX. THIS WAS ALL WITHIN 90 DAYS OF EACH OTHER.
VEHICLE DRIVE SHAFT IN 'DRIVE' BUT IT'S NOT ENGAGED WHEN PRESSING ON THE GAS PEDAL. VEHICLE ACTED LIKE IT WAS IN NEUTRAL. VEHICLE WAS DRIVING IN MOTION, BUT THEN WOULD NOT ACCELERATE.
WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY, THE TRANSMISSION DROPPED OUT OF GEAR AND ENGINE REVVED PAST 7K RPM AND THE CAR DECELERATED. "TRANSMISSION FAULT" WAS DISPLAYED AND SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. HAD TO COAST THE CAR ACROSS FOUR BUSY LANES OF TRAFFIC WITH NON RESPONSIVE GAS PETAL TO THE SHOULDER. AFTER THE CAR WAS SHUT DOWN AND RESTARTED, ALL ERROR/FAULT MASSAGES WENT AWAY AND THE CAR DROVE FINE. THIS COULD HAVE RESULTED IN A SERIOUS INCIDENT.
I HAVE HAD REPEATED FAILURES DRIVING MULTIPLE LR4 AND A RANGE ROVER SPORT (I OWN BOTH). IF WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE YOU LIGHTLY REST YOUR FOOT ON THE BRAKE PEDAL (FOR INSTANCE IN DRIVING IN CLOSE QUARTERS) THE CAR WILL ILLUMINATE MULTIPLE WANRING INDICATORS INCLUDING ENGINE FAILURE, BRAKE FAILURE, GEARBOX FAILURE, PARKING BRAKE FAILURE, ABS FAILURE, TRACTION CONTROL FAILURE, STABILITY CONTROL UNAVAILABLE AND CRUISE CONTROL UNAVAILABLE. GENERALLY WHEN THESE CONDITION OCCUR THESE SYSTEM WILL DEFAULT TO REDUCED FUNCTIONALITY MODES. THIS PROBLEM IS REPRODUCIBLE AND IS A KNOW ISSUE WITH THE DEALER AND LRNA. LAND ROVER HAS ACKNOWLEDGED THIS ISSUE AND HAS NO CURRENT FIX OR PLANNED FIX. ITS APPARENT CAUSE IS A TWO STAGE BRAKE SWITCH WHICH CAUSES A SOFTWARE FAULT WHEN ONLY ONE OF THE TWO SWITCHES IS ENGAGED. LAND ROVER CANNOT CONFIRM THAT THE FAILURE OF THESE SYSTEM DOES NOT COMPROMISE THE SAFETY OF THE CAR. AT THE LEAST THIS FRIGHTENS THE DRIVER WITH WHAT APPEARS TO BE A MASSIVE SYSTEMS FAILURE OR AT WORST COMPROMISES VIRTUALLY ALL THE ELECTRONIC SAFETY SYSTEMS OF THE CAR. THIS ISSUE SEEMS TO APPLY TO THE LR4, RANGE ROVER SPORT, RANGE ROVER AND JAGUAR MODELS THAT USE THE SAME ENGINE COMPUTER SOFTWARE AND BRAKE SWITCH. MY RESEARCH HAS SHOWN OTHER OWNERS HAVE EXPERIENCED SIMILAR ISSUES
