Other Fuel System Pump Problems of Land Rover LR4

We bought this 2012 Land Rover Lr4 with 44k miles about three weeks ago. We started noticing a strong gasoline odor in the garage ever since we started parking this car in the garage. The odor is stronger after we drive the car around especially if the tank is full. Upon researching enthusiast forums about Land Rovers and especially Lr4, there seems to be a common issue around fuel leak due to some sort of flange that holds the fuel pump in place. Researching the NHTSA database revealed that there are multiple reports of fuel leak from Lr4 cars of the same generation. The cost to fix this varies from a few hundred dollars to close to two thousand dollars. I am going to take the car to the dealer to diagnose where it is leaking fuel from but needed a NHTSA complaint number to go with it so I am reporting the issue as a safety concern due to the potential fire hazard this creates. We started parking the car outside the garage away from the house until we can get this fixed.

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.
