Owner-reported complaints filed with NHTSA, grouped by component

Data refreshed

Owner complaintsComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.

MY 1992 LAND ROVER RANGE ROVER HAS A STRESS CRACK IN THE TOP OF THE PLASTIC FUEL TANK, IDENTICAL TO THE RECALL FOR 1993-95 RANGE ROVERS UNDER NHTSA #04V20300. LAND ROVER CAN'T TELL ME WHY THE 1992 VEHICLES ARE NOT COVERED. GAS NOW POURS OUT OF TANK ONTO THE GROUND DURING FILL-UP. I WANT COVERAGE OF THIS POTENTIALLY FATAL DESIGN FLAW UNDER THE SAME PARAMETERS AS NHTSA RECALL #04V20300. *NM
