There is a gasoline leak which could be seen on the right rear underside of my vehicle (there is an exposed tank-like looking component saturated with gasoline) which can be easily ignited and cause a fire whether the car is running or parked. My vehicle is with the dealer at the moment being looked at. The dealer told me a flange connected to the fuel system and fuel pump was cracked (for no apparent reason, it just failed) which causes the leak. The dealer said this is a known problem on the range rover sport and LR4 models of certain year span and a recall is currently going on for those models BUT NOT on my model vehicle. I noticed smell of gasoline and saw the leak some time in January 2022. According to my research on NHTSA website there is another vehicle of this same model located in Apopka Florida with the same problem as mine. I am concerned that land rover may have used the same component or parts provider on the 2013 Evoque (for the flange and fuel pump) as they did for the range rover sport and LR4 models. Please look into this and hopefully any serious accident can be avoided.

Exterior and interior began to smell of gasoline, upon investigation by accessing the low pressure fuel pump located under the rear seat, it was determined the fuel pump developed hairline cracks allowing fuel to leak onto the undercarriage of the vehicle.

WHILE DRIVING MY CAR ON A ROAD AND ATTEMPTING TO MERGE ONTO A HIGHWAY (I10) IT LOST THE ABILITY TO ACCELERATE. THE VEHICLE WOULD THEN NOT SHIFT ABOVE 3RD GEAR (AUTOMATIC). WHEN I PLACED IT MANUALLY INTO HIGHER GEARS IT TRIED TO AUTOMATICALLY DOWNSHIFT. I WAS UNABLE TO ACCELERATE TO MERGE ONTO THE HIGHWAY. I HAD TO PLACE ON MY FOUR WAYS AND MAKE AN EMERGENCY STOP TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT CAUSING A VERY UNSAFE DRIVING SITUATION. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THAT THE TURBO COMPONENT HAD FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. AFTER IT WAS REPLACED I ASKED WHAT HAD CAUSED THE FAILURE AND THEY SAID THAT NOTHING I DID CAUSED IT. IT IS APPARENTLY A COMMON ISSUE FOR THE TURBO COMPONENT TO FAIL IN THE 2012-2014 MODELS. I WAS NOT WARNED ABOUT THIS SAFETY ISSUE AND THEY SAID IT IS CAUSED BY A KNOWN MECHANICAL ISSUE. THEY ALSO SAID THE REPLACED THE TURBO COMPONENT WITH AN ALTERNATE PART NUMBER BECAUSE THE ONE ORIGINALLY IN MY VEHICLE FAILS SO OFTEN THEY NO LONGER USE IT. THIS OCCURS OFTEN ENOUGH THEY ALREADY HAD THE PART IN STOCK. I THINK THEY SHOULD BE FORCED TO RECALL THESE FAULTY TURBO PARTS. I HAVE THE SERVICE RECORD IF NEEDED.

SOUNDS LIKE THEY ARE VERY AWARE OR LTB00795NAS1. A TECHNICAL BULLETIN INVOLVING THE "ACTIVE ON DEMAND COUPLING OIL PUMP" THAT JUST HAPPENS TO MESS UP ON SPECIFIC CARS FROM A SPECIFIC PLANT AT WITH NO FAULT TO THE DRIVER, YET THIS IS NOT A RECALL?? I CALLED LR USA AND THE REPRESENTATIVE SAID IT DID NOT MEET THE STANDARDS OF A RECALL, WHATEVER THAT MEANS.

I WAS STOPPED AT A STOP LIGHT WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE PEDAL. SUDDENLY THE ENGINE RPM WENT TO WIDE OPEN THROTTLE. I MASHED ON THE BRAKE AS HARD AS I COULD BUT THE VEHICLE KEPT GOING FORWARD. MY SON WAS IN THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME AND EVEN THOUGH HIS WINDOWS WERE CLOSED AS IT IS COLD HE HEARD THE ENGINE SCREAMING AND SAW THE VEHICLE MOVING FORWARD. HE MOVED FORWARD SO I DID NOT HIT HIM. I WAS ABLE TO PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK AND THEN THE ENGINE WENT BACK TO IDLE. *TR
