  Coolant System and Transmission - 2002 Land Rover Freelander
  By Shirley Allen - April 28 - 6:03 am

  Transmission had to be replaced. Was still under warranty. Had to have coolant tank replaced, then thermostat replaced because of constant overheat of engine. Vehicle in shop. Dealer says engine needs replacing because of cracked engine. Coolant getting into oil? These are major problems for a vehicle with only 85000 miles and for the cost to purchase this vehicle. Also brake pad need replacing too often.

  Still Wondering - 2003 Land Rover Freelander
  By still wondering - December 8 - 10:00 am

  Well, I sure do like the looks, feel and design. It drives well, it feels rock solid, but... It has 9000 miles, its on its third sunroof, it has a leak when it rains down by the gas pedal, two a/c vents have fallen apart in my hand as I adjusted them and the adjustable lumbar support in the drivers seat simply snapped and broke while I was driving along (Im not a big guy). The dealers been great about fixing the problems, but -- call me crazy -- I dont believe it should have these problems.

  Agree with the class action suit - 2003 Land Rover Freelander
  By Barb Pentz - November 29 - 3:30 am

  Had my car for 2 yrs, has 83000 miles on the car. The fuel pump went, upper air intake needed replaced and it too leaked coolant into the oil causing me to need a new engine. All in a 7 month period. The Land Rover dealer told me these cars are unreliable and they have this problem at least once a month. He told me to get rid of it because I will only have more problems. What does that tell you when the dealer thinks it is a piece of junk!!!

  Worst car ever - 2003 Land Rover Freelander
  By mr0618 - August 24 - 8:53 am

  I was so excited to own a Land Rover. The excitement did not last very long. I only owned this vehicle for 2 years and it broke down every few months. It is also extremely uncomfortable, too tiny.

  "Its Still in the Shop" - 2005 Land Rover Freelander
  By What next? - July 25 - 10:00 am

  At the beginning of this year, my 2005 Freelander with less than 50,000 miles started overheating. They replaced head gasket #4. They had the car for 2 weeks. Then, less than 2 months later, it lost power going up hills, they replaced head gasket #2 (they had the car another 2 weeks). Then, a month after that, the radio stayed on when I turned the car off. They changed out some electrical thing, (they had the car for a week). Approximately 1 month later the car was overheating again, it was head gasket #1. They decided to replace the engine (they had the car 5 weeks). Last week my new engine was leaking oil, faulty oil gasket in the new engine. (They had the car 1 week). Craziness..

  Upside down nightmare! - 2002 Land Rover Freelander
  By mary - June 7 - 1:23 pm

  Bought it used and thought I was buying a quality car. My mechanic told me was engine was ready to go and Ive been having coolant leakage. Currently owe 13,000, dealers will only give me $7,000 and I feel to guilty to sell it out right (would only get retail on it which is $10,000) knowing all of the problems these cars have. So, what do I do with this poorly made vehicle? Dont buy!

  This SUV made me sad - 2002 Land Rover Freelander
  By My dream SUV - February 5 - 10:00 am

  Land 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 pm

  I 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 pm

  I 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.
