  Worst purchase - 2002 Land Rover Freelander
  By Ceceila - July 20 - 5:13 pm

  Well I purchased my land rover in 2007 and the first thing i had to fix after two weeks of having the land rover was the passenger window on the drivers side, which was a lot of money, than 6 months later i had to fix the brakes, then the water pump, thermometer, gas tank, which i might is upside down after taking it someone other than land rover and now the head gasket, I had to fix the land rover more than enjoy it, it put me down after it was supposedly fixed twice on the freeway last year when I was 8 months pregnant, I have had the greatest time with this vehicle, unfortunately there was no warranty available when i purchased the vehicle, i would like my money back

  Do not buy this car!!! - 2002 Land Rover Freelander
  By kitty - July 17 - 2:33 pm

  After 4 months, this car needed a new alternator, since then its gotten the cooling system fixed 3 times, a whole new transmission, needs new timing belts, and a new fuel pump. Also the radio is broken, and the moonroof wont open. This car is terrible, and I was a fool to buy this car without researching it better. I hoping to get rid of it tomorrow! Do not buy this car. I will never own another Land Rover.

  Doesnt Live Up to Land Rover - 2002 Land Rover Freelander
  By tylo - March 23 - 2:32 pm

  This car was expected to be an excellent car, but what we got was far from it. This car has had issues from day one. Each window, excluding the windshield, has had to been replaced at least once, for a total of seven times because they would not roll up or down. The car currently only has 60,000 miles on it, but only two years after buying the car, the transmission had to be replaced at a whopping $6000. Roughly four years ago, the engine had overheating problems, and since then, weve only been able to drive it short distances, which kept things at bay. This car wasnt built very well, but hey, it is a nimble little SUV, and is still fun to drive. I just dont touch the manual shifter..

  The land rover name means nothing when it comes to tough SUVs as far as I am consern after driving the freelander.

  Fun but annoying - 2002 Land Rover Freelander
  By Jaymar10 - October 31 - 10:00 am

  Fun to drive and looks great, but little things break all the time and the brake system sucks. Have to replace the breaks every 10k miles!

  Tons of repairs - 2002 Land Rover Freelander
  By freelander25 - March 19 - 3:30 am

  I purchased a used "02 freelander in "05. After 1 year the transmission had to be replaced. Then the A/C broke. Then a couple other valves. The two back rear doors broke, they could only be opened from the inside. The rear drivers side window doesnt open. The only plus are the seat warmers. I would not recommend this purchase.

  More problems - 2002 Land Rover Freelander
  By monkeygirl - September 22 - 10:00 am

  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).

  By Lisa - September 21 - 3:06 pm

  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.

  mad in Texas - 2002 Land Rover Freelander
  By madin TX - July 30 - 12:30 am

  I loved my Freelander until my first experience with the Rover dealership. I paid over $300 for the 45,000 miles checkup.They told me there was nothing wrong with the transmission. Now that I am out of warranty at 50,000 miles I am having problems. I called them and told them that my brake lights just stopped working and I have to go out of town and I needed to get them fixed asap. They told me it would cost me $125.00 and they could not get to it for four days! My husband paid $17.83 for the brake light swtich and fixed it in less than five minutes.
