My mechanic observed the fuel tank shield (WFN500021) in the undercarriage was totally rusted-out. This fuel tank shield holds the fuel tank. The part was completely rusted and the concern is that the fuel tank will fall out while driving - and igniting. I have shopped around for parts - every dealer has the part on back order. I purchased an after market fuel tank shield on ebay - it does not fit properly. I also tried finding the same part at junk-yards but those are completely rusted out as well. It is difficult to accept that this critical part was so poorly designed or manufactured, in addition to it being unavailable for purchase. I have been without my card for almost one-month, currently sitting with my mechanic.

Our vehicle allows for the rear lift gate to be opened while the vehicle is in motion. Any person in the vehicle can press the rear lift gate button and it will open, even if driving down the road. Our loaner vehicles from Land rover also allow this to occur. This is a major safety issue as cargo or pets could be ejected or jump from a moving vehicle if the driver or a passenger inadvertently press the rear lift gate button. There should be a modification that would prevent the rear lift gate from being able to be activated via this button while the vehicle is not in the park mode.
