  Finally paid for & it died! - 2002 Land Rover Freelander
  By Mary - July 29 - 11:33 pm

  Three weeks after we bought it NEW - it blew a head gasket. Dealer of course fixed it but it never had the initial power quality again. Then the many recalls -overheating - then the hill descent started coming on at inappropriate times - dealer could not find anything wrong - dash lights flashing - tires wearing out much too quickly/noisy. Finally paid it off & at 75,000 miles the transmission goes. Anyone needs parts?? Oh thats right - there arent any worth selling!!!

  too bad - 2002 Land Rover Freelander
  By vsgbad - June 30 - 9:53 pm

  I thought I was buying quality when I went to land rover, but that didnt work out. The car rattles, the driverseat is uncomfortable, I bump my head on the ceiling, the engine is lazy, the steering stinks, the boot is far to snall. I wish I had gone for the Santa Fe, but I was afraid of poor quality.

  So far, so very good! - 2002 Land Rover Freelander
  By SCRUM HALF - June 21 - 10:00 am

  This car is everything I wanted in a min-SUV and more. Only a couple minor complaints. First, watch your head when you get in. I have to remember to duck. Second, the drivers seat is fixed in vertical position. There is not much extra head room once you are in, and the rear-view mirror blocks a large portion of your outside field-of-view. Takes some getting used to. That said, the Freelanders on-road handling is superb. It drives like a sports car, and it seems to have plenty of power for my needs, even fully loaded with the family. It cost a little more than I wanted to spend, but I definitely feel bathed in luxury. Cant wait to try it off road.

  Sturdy and Solid SUV! - 2002 Land Rover Freelander
  By Cindy04 - April 9 - 11:13 am

  What a great SUV. Very sturdy and solid on the roads and in any weather condition. Powerful engine up hills, a little sluggish at the start. I havent had any electrical or engine problems at all. Very reliable. One of the funnest and most enjoyable cars Ive owned and driven.

  BAD BREAKS - 2002 Land Rover Freelander
  By stephen - March 24 - 2:00 am

  what is up with the breaks on this car? a new car that needs breaks We will never purchase another one of these vehicles or recommend one to are friends.when communicating with the service dept., at Hubacher Cadillac in Sacramento Ca. my wife was told that it has been a problem and the brakes on the freelander are needing replacement after 15,000. When the brakes fail they go metal to metal without warning very strange and dangerous to drive. Maybe we should park are freelander across the street from the dealer ship with a big sign on it as to what is wrong with this car. Oh by the way when the brakes go out there is know warning.

  Night mare - 2002 Land Rover Freelander
  By Budu - February 20 - 10:00 am

  I have spent over $12,000 on this car, $7,500 of which at a dealership to fix the engine, with no luck. Then the transmission broke down and that took another $4,000. It has been out for less than 200 miles and the service engine light is on. This car is so lovable but such a nightmare. Are there new model engines and transmissions that can work on this 2002 Freelander?

  By Ryan n/a - February 2 - 10:00 am

  When people want to by a land Rover they would probably want an exspensive one but in this case the Land Rover Freelander S is the leats exspensive of the 3 (se,s...)i had it for 4 months now and i dont have any problems with it its an amazing car, but my girlfriend makes fun of me because she has the new hummer h2 she always races me and wins but overall i think the freelander is an incredible car!!

  Land Rover Freelander - Nightmare... - 2002 Land Rover Freelander
  By DrHudson - January 3 - 11:03 am

  I love this car, but I know the service department employees by name. There has been nothing but trouble with this car since the day I bought it. The cooling system has broken 4 times. The F4 F4 F4 Transmission error has recently appeared and the dealership is quoting over $7,000.00 to repair. I have spent over $15,000.00 in repairs on the vehicle and there is no end in sight as to repairs that are still to come. The average repair done by the dealership cost upwards of $500.00. I have never got out of the dealership with a bill less than $500.00 and that was for replacing a small coolant hose that one day just exploded into several hundred pieces. I have basically rebuilt the cooling system
