  electrical gremlins - 2002 Land Rover Freelander
  By oliver986 - December 27 - 10:00 am

  has already been out of service for 14 days - close to hitting lemon law requirements. numerous electrical problems- windows not working - heated seats going out - but most importantly - a/c system backup causes water to shoot out of dash vents! shorts out radio and a/c and eventually the battery!

  Poorest quality SUV ever built - 2002 Land Rover Freelander
  By The Robinson Family - May 13 - 11:50 pm

  The LandRover Freelander should of never been imported into this country. I have been a car salesman for over 18 years and have never been around such a poorly built vehicle. My wife and I owned ours for 3 very long years. Everyday you wonder whats going to break next. We had a issue with everything from coolant leaks to electrical to front brake rotors that must of been a cruel joke to the consumer. I bought the vehicle wholesale and still lost money because dealers are scared of them. My wife had always liked the looks of the Freelander but was terrified to drive this suv with its host of problems.

  Nothing but trouble - 2002 Land Rover Freelander
  By hhr1owner - October 17 - 4:43 am

  I bought this SUV with 60k miles and now its got 65K and I had spend over 3k in repairs. The timing belts and all the components on the front of the engine. Now the fuel pump which is going to be over a thousand. It has been nothing but expensive. I wouldnt suggest this vehicle at all. Unless you got the time and money to keep in the shop. I am selling right after the fuel issue is fixed.

  Run, Dont Walk, Away from This Car!! - 2002 Land Rover Freelander
  By DHall - July 31 - 12:33 am

  We really like the look of this car and interior, but the reliability and service is the worst. This car has been nothing but problems since day 1. Service people not friendly and overcharge you on everything. Dealerships all very far away unless you live in a bigger city. Engine went out at 50,000 miles, right after lease bought out and warranty up conveniently. Brakes suddenly went out with no warning and ruined the rotors right away. Heater never worked right and sunroof broken. NEVER AGAIN will I step foot on a Land Rover lot or recommend them to someone else. I wouldnt want someone else to be stuck like us. Run away fast!!

  Junking it! - 2002 Land Rover Freelander
  By Indistress - July 4 - 6:23 am

  Bought the truck with 17K miles for $17K, thought it was a good deal for a Landrover. At 35K Miles the Engine needed replacement and now at 73K Miles the Transmission is slipping and needs replacement. Radio is shot. Sunroof was replaced twice. Brakes AND Roters wear easily. Maintanance is costly. Would not recommend buying any of the Landrover vehicles after their latest Consumer Report Reviews. Company should be taken out of business for the quality of their vehicles...THere is nothing luxurious about them....

  Fun to Drive only - 2002 Land Rover Freelander
  By locoant - October 2 - 2:00 am

  This car is not to be taken anywhere that debris may hit it. IT WILL BREAK!!! Underside real susceptable to damage. Dealership suspects customer for all damage and they check it accordingly. Also dealer will treat you like your second class because you bought the CHEAP model. This car sucks 2002 Lemon lawed due to main seals in the engine. 2003 had a main seal go at about 2500 miles.

  Worst vehicle ever! - 2002 Land Rover Freelander
  By angry in mn! - May 22 - 5:46 pm

  This vehicle has been so much more trouble than its worth. The cooling system always has some sort of leak that cant be fixed, which causes it to overheat all the time.

  Junk car - 2002 Land Rover Freelander
  By ak - May 1 - 10:56 am

  I bought my freelander with around 42,000 miles on it. I didnt have any problems until the car hit 60,000 miles. Since then, this car has been breaking down like I have never seen before. I had to put a new fuel pump, sun roof, drive shaft, window regulator, cam seals, engine . The vehicle has only 80,000 miles on it currently. I maintain my cars and did all the factory recommended service maintenance. Also most of my driving has been on the interstate. I have a second car I do my city driving with. This is the worst vehicle I have ever owned. I will never by another landrover. Do yourself a favor and stay away from landrovers, unless you want a junk car!

  dont do it - 2002 Land Rover Freelander
  By teri - March 13 - 7:46 am

  I have had nothing but headaches with this truck. Always in the repair shop. overheated 4 times, replaced fuel pump, temp gauge, radiator, headlights both went out due to an electrical problem, back window regulator went at $500.00 just for the part, a few recalls, inspection failures and the I replaced brakes 3x and rotors once. and heres the big one. My Tranny went at 65,000 miles. Land Rover said ... oh well its over warranty. Truck looks good but is a lot of trouble. Not worth it. Stay away from this one.
