  • More problems - 2002 Land Rover Freelander
    By -

    Got my mirror fixed, but now there is an annoying chirping sound coming from the passenger side wheels. They serviced and said it was fixed. It made the noise after 20 miles. I have had this car for 26 days & spent 7 of those in a rental. Everyone I deal with is so nice it is hard to get angry with them for their incompetance.....its like yelling at a puppy. The dealer I purchased this vehicle from "forgot" to return my previous leased vehicle....and now I am trying to get that mess sorted out. It has been such a horrible experience that I wish I had kept my other vehicle (and I hated that Explorer).

    I am now on my 3rd engine it this vehicle, and I only have 60,000 miles on this car. Land Rover is offering me 50% off the engine. Its not drivable... please get these cars off the road as they are seizing up on people while driving.

  • The worst SUV on the road - 2002 Land Rover Freelander
    By -

    Ive never had a car with this much problems. It has been in ths shop 6 time in less than 2 years. First time the check engine light came on it was still under warranty. Then the cooling system went haywire. It took three times for the dealer figured out what the problem was. After repacing the hoses, cooling fan and then finally the water pump. Then the brakes wear out unusally fast tearing into the rotors, twice in less than 18 months. Then the sunroof clatters. The back door wont open it needed the motor replaced. Then finally with less than 75k the Transmisson went out the whole thing needed to be replaced.

  • Basically cool - 2002 Land Rover Freelander

    I have this vehicle since OCTOBER, and have 3000 miles on it. Tight feel, great handling, quiet vehicle. However, my husband needs to slightly tilt seat back to keep his head from touching roof, and last week, during a cold snap, the power window button fell off in my hands causing the other windows to open/close on their own and act wacky. The good news is that the dealer, after calling on my cell phone fixed it almost on the spot when I drove in. It was COLD with a window open all the time. Great service and treatment! I also got a great price as a leftover with 4000 off the list price.

  • Best in Class - 2002 Land Rover Freelander
    By -

    We purchased the Freelander after test driving it, the Jeep Liberty, the Toyota RAV4, and the Honda CRV. The Freelander was in a class by itself with respect to the ride, comfort, and off-road ability. We have had a few electrical problems with the driver side window and the moonroof, and the speakers in the front doors vibrated, but the dealer fixed them rapidly and we have not had trouble since. We really like the vehicle and would consider getting another.

    the best suv on the market so far, considering value, performance and prestige

  • Tested Tough - 2002 Land Rover Freelander
    By -

    Weve had a Freelander for 2 years now. We spending a lot of time on back woods, and above tree line trails. Like most forein cars this SUV runs best at higher RPMs. Lack of power, was caused by my driving habits. I use the sport trani the freelander has all the power I need. We have taken trails rated for advanced or expert drivers, it never skips a beat. Last winter we were driving over Rabbit Ears pass by Steamboat they closed the pass while we were going over. We cruised right through. If fuel economy is is your deal, Go buy a Honda Its worthless Off Road but it gets the milage. for a 4X4 with reasonable milage get a Freelander. We love it!

  • Great Drive - 2002 Land Rover Freelander

    Purchased two weeks ago and the car has been great. No problems at 700 miles. The car handles better than anything in its class. Engine is more than adequate. Harmon Kardon stereo sounds great.

  • A total lemon - 2002 Land Rover Freelander
    By -

    Leasing this car has been an absolute nightmare! From the brakes to the electronics, from the sunroof to the stereo, everything on my vehicle has needed to be repaired. LR North America rushed this vehicle to market and consumers have paid the price. Totals lemons! Land Rover could learn a lot from Honda about customer service and customer retention. Would- be Land Rover owners, BEWARE! My warranty just expired and LR refuses to fix my defective sunroof even though this is known to be a common defect.
