Verbatim excerpts from NHTSA complaints, by component

Fuel/propulsion system

7 reports2 crashes3 fires
“Recall caused full engine failure which caused 75mph to abrupt stop on Highway. Violently shaking and leaked gas inside vehicle. I was confused because I had no collision and liberty mutual denied my claims, but I was hurt from a recall - dealer frequently recorded as fixed during a scam that caused me to lose my full savings and be stuck with a unfixed covered car. (Dealer tried to say they were helping me buy not charging $2500 and said they were sending my car to an impound.) causing me to pay $16k (full savings) towards 18k to clear the loan....the manager said I did not have a deal and that my impounded car would be $4k a month. (Way back confirms recall being fixed on records as I refused unsafe gas recall to be fixed. They sent the car back in pieces) I had to recover it from an abandoned nearby neighborhood and store it for years trying to get help - I am now 100% TBI and believe this gas leak and impact caused me injuries.”

“The contact owns a 2010 Land Rover LR4. The contact stated that upon entering the vehicle, an abnormal fuel odor permeated throughout the vehicle. The contact then discovered that fuel was leaking from the fuel tank. The contact took the vehicle to an independent mechanic and the vehicle was repaired with the parts that had led to a recall. The contact then received a letter in the mail that his vehicle was included in NHTSA Campaign Number: 21V635000 (Fuel System, Gasoline). The manufacturer was notified of the failure and referred him to his local dealer. The contact was later informed by the dealer that he had to pay for his vehicle to be shipped off his island and onto the mainland where the dealer was located. The manufacturer had not reimbursed him for the repair made prior to the recall. The vehicle was not yet repaired under the recall. The failure mileage was 100,914.”

“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”
