This SUV made me sad - 2002 Land Rover Freelander
By My dream SUV - February 5 - 10:00 amLand Rover Freelander 2002 was my dream SUV but I had sad news about this car. After 8 months and 60000 miles I had to replace the fuel pump and head gasket. Not mechanics were available to fix this vehicle, not guarantee. I had to pay $4,000.00 to fix this truck and I really was mentally affected for all the problems that this truck gave to me. I not recommend this truck to anybody. I had to give this in trading. Then, I received a letter from Land Rover about a recall part but I didnt have the freelander on my own. But, I had the all receipts, the answer from Land Rover was that if I dont have the truck with me I can not going to receive refund for all that I paid.

Do not waste your money on a Freelander! - 2002 Land Rover Freelander
By Jennifer - January 10 - 5:50 pmI am the owner of a 2002 s Freelander. I have had nothing but problems. We had to have the windshield replaced, the passenger window fixed and just recently needed the transmission replaced. We are lucky for the fact that we purchased the extended warranty. Our dealership has also been terrible to deal with. If you do purchase a freelander, please buy the extended warranty, trust me you will need it.

2002 Land Rover Freelander - 2002 Land Rover Freelander
By J. - December 3 - 10:20 pmI purchased this used about 1yr 1/2 ago.Its been nothing but trouble.To start the back window wont roll up,the sun roof wont roll down,the heater went out,the A/C does not work.I have put over $1000 into this vehicle in the past year on top of car payments and have another $2000 to put into it to be able to trade in for a reliable vehicle,not a Land Rover.This truck has depreciated in value $3000 in 4 months. So all in all I lost $6000 by owning this vehicle for a little over 1yr. There was a recall on the brake lights,this truck should be recalled all together.My mechanic advised me to get rid of it asap.Im trading it in and taking the loss so I dont face another $6000 loss next year.

Do Not Buy a Freelander - 2002 Land Rover Freelander
By schpank - September 4 - 2:53 pmWorst vehicle Ive ever had. Bloated dealer service, brakes need replacing every 10k miles ($400 if dealer does it), uncomfortable seats unless you are 51", no real S or U in an SUV. Ive owned Honda CRV, Audi A4, Nissan Maxima, Nissan Truck and Hyundai Excel - all were far better than this. This the worst vehicle mistake I hope to ever make. Buy something else!

What a Lemon! - 2002 Land Rover Freelander
By Amanda Harle - September 17 - 7:26 pmCar was bought used w/24,000 miles on it. I had the car for three days when the transmission dropped. When I finally got the car back, one of the rear windows wouldnt go up. Driving 3 hrs to the nearest dealership in Grand Rapids, MI, the engine seized. The dealership told me they had to call the factory in Europe to confirm that a head gasket had gone. In the last couple years, Ive had the sunroof fixed 3 times, window motors replaced, speakers replaced & the air conditioner has NEVER worked. Now, at 60,000 miles, BOTH head gaskets have gone. The car I bought for reliability turned out to tbe the COMPLETE OPPOSITE. I would love to join a class action lawsuit against Land Rover....

Lucky to Free myself from this trouble - 2002 Land Rover Freelander
By j2thaw3 - September 11 - 12:33 amI bought my Freelander from Honda used vehicles with 1 previous owner, and all the maintenance records. I assumed it was a great deal at the time. WOW, after spending about what I owed on it to "attempt" to fix it, it still didnt work. The last shop I took it to said, "Get rid of it anyway you can, there are 7 major engine malfunctions." All this after spending the money to maintenance it regularly. I would up trading it in for half of what I owed on it. This vehicle was a nightmare that I dont wish upon anybody!

Another nightmare... - 2002 Land Rover Freelander
By GearJam - March 19 - 6:53 pmOh, lets see.. Ive put 4500 miles on my Freelander since purchase, and have spent MORE in repair bills than I payed for the car. Transmission- Failed.Transfer Case-Failed. Engine- failing.A/c,Sunroof, Power Door locks, failed, failed, failed. 84K on the clock so far, and if I ever see my Rover again, shes getting traded for a Jeep Wrangler, No questions about it no more Land Rover Products are in my future.

Been there done that - 2002 Land Rover Freelander
By Shermie - December 9 - 9:53 amPurchased a brand new Freelander and it is the only regret I have in my life. So you can assume exactly what kind of ownership experience my family and I had to endure for over 5 years. When the motor finally dies at 58Kmiles, and the transmission had been slipping for 1 year, the car still smelled brand new when it was sold for scrap parts. Never ever buy a Freelander, unless you have a high tolerance for a cheaply built, outsourced funky japanese tranny and a Chiness built motor with epoxy glue holding the cylinder sleeves together. The 5 years of missing coolant was nothing compared to what this car did to my life and finances. Pure junk.

Freeloader not Freelander - 2002 Land Rover Freelander
By D - January 23 - 9:26 pmFelt like a solid vehicle initially, but it all went down hill real quick. Poor quality and no reliability. The dealer has had to replace an ECU, the transmission, rear window motor(both), hoses, and the list goes on. I owned this vehicle for only 4 months and I drove it maybe 10 times...Land Rover techs have driven it more than me..but thanks for the 06 LR3..that was pretty much the car I drove during my 4 mos with the Freelander..I mean Freeloader

Dont ever buy a Landrover Freelander - 2002 Land Rover Freelander
By Maurice - November 17 - 1:06 pmI have never had so many issues with a vehicle. If you are even thinking about buying a Land Rover Freelander STOP! Dont waste your money. Two weeks after I bought it I noticed the engine was over heating and that was the start of my problems. From the motor, to the windows, to the heat, to the sunroof, to the door locks all had to be replaced with NO RECALLS. I know I put at least $6,000 into it. The dealership doesnt exist anymore and the Freelander is a huge lemon. I repeat DO NOT BUY A LANDROVER!
