What owners wrote
Very poor emergency braking at low speeds 30MPH and slower. When emergency braking is required like in a left turn land and the preceding car decides to stop instead of completing the left turn, you cannot stop quickly. At higher speeds up to 25-30 MPH the same situation arises but you generally have more time and distance to recover.ehicle has been looked at by independend garages and most recently, again, gone over by the landrover dealer in scottsdale az.
Gas tank recall done in san francisco but they failed to check the fuel filler neck problem. I have had multiple mystery issues ever since, ruling out the fuel tank and pump as they were both new. I have since tracked the problem to the fuel filler neck that the dealer failed to fix. I believe my vehicle to have been manufactured incorrectly and repaired in the same manner. My vehicle does not come up in a recall search for the filler neck and I believe the recall should be amended to include mine.
