What owners say
Fuel tank is leaking fuel from the top of the tank. Fuel is visibly leaking, I must exit the vehicle to air out and breathe. I’ve had multiple medical visits for headaches. Jaguar/Land Rover has had multiple fuel recalls, but have told me my car is not covered.
Car started smelling like gas and garage had smell. Today 4/15/2021 noticed fuel dripping under the fuel tank area.
I have a 2012 jaguar xf with 48,000 miles which has a gas leak on top of the gas tank where the hose connects to the ascending unit. This is not only very dangerous for my family but also to my home as this issue can cause a fire. I would like this issue resolved by repair as I am aware that jaguar has issued several recalls and one of the recalls is for a problem with the 2012 jaguars xf leaking gas which could cause a fire.
