Oops I purchased a Freelandrover - 2004 Land Rover Freelander
By steenberg - January 23 - 7:03 pmHaving now read all the reviews, I no longer feel alone. Day 2, my Landy was back in the shop, transmission replacement parts, repair 1 week. Brakes and rotors at oil change frequency. Consistent electrical problems. Coolant leak in side the care under drivers door mat. Non stop transmission problems, vibration on acceleration. 2 months after the first coolant leak, the same problem. Battery died. Electrical window problems. I have extended warranty and am $100 out, sick of taking the car back to the dealer. Car is not reliable. Dealer has been excellent! This year I have driven a rental car more than my own car, is this a lemon?

Money Pit - 2003 Land Rover Freelander
By bethannsw - December 11 - 12:03 pmThis car is a money pit. Bought it as the only car for our family of 4. Fabulous in snow, but bad for your wallet. $3000 to repair massive coolant leaks, new fuel pump, ball bearing (??) needs replaced amongst other things. Check engine light is on and vehicle is shaking and barely running. Ive only had it 2 yrs and it has 70K miles on it. There should be a large law suit filed against Land Rover for this vehicle as it seems to have the same problems and even the Land Rover dealerships tell you its a horrible car. Shame on you Land Rover!

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.

Not a good choice! - 2003 Land Rover Freelander
By Mandana - August 6 - 10:00 amI have had the car for 11 months and it had to be taken in 5 times with various warranty issues. The front window raddles, the airconditioning unit control is not accurate, the car died on the road during the 2nd month of purchase. in 11 months, it cost me $650 on break change...It is by far the worse car I have ever had.

SUV that Leaks Water!!! - 2003 Land Rover Freelander
By Joe Muratore - April 6 - 10:00 amWeve had our Freelander in the shop more than on the road! It took 4 tries to get the radio to work and were on our 6th trip to get the roof from leaking - dealer cant find the problem. Weve been told by friends to start the "lemon law" but we dont want to wait out the process. Although the dealership has been nice, they havent been honest or competent!

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

Im buying American! - 2003 Land Rover Freelander
By uscarbuyer - January 12 - 4:03 pmMy Land Rover owned me. I have never owned a vehicle that required so much maintenance. I have never off-roaded in my Land Rover, nor have I had a fender bender or accident. I purely drive on the pavement to and from work, and in town driving to the movies, dinner, etc. My car is a southern car and has only seen snow for two weeks in the almost 5 years it has owned me. I cannot recommend buying any Land Rover! Anything that goes wrong you are told it is the "British design". Brakes and batteries are expected to last 10-20K miles. I cannot remember the number of recall notices, too many to count. At times the windows wont power down. I thought I would enjoy the durability. Nope. All of the cap covers & compartment covers fall off. My drink holder spring fell out for no apparent reason. I am not tough on my car & it is literally falling apart. I will find plastic pieces on the floor & have no idea where they came from. Im buying American!

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!

Worst purchase ever - 2003 Land Rover Freelander
By cb - September 20 - 10:26 amI bought my LR used with 40000 miles & thank God I bought the extended warranty! It was in the shop 18 times in 16 months-1 time it sat there for 6 months waiting for an engine that cost me 15,000 dollars! Coolant leaks coils going out window motors broken. At 44,000 miles new engine-I waited 6 mos for that one. 5 months later same problem- I needed another new engine! Out of my 18 trips to the dealer 15 were the same engine problems. The dealer bought it back as a lemon. Oh yeah-it was towed 7 of the 18 times because it didnt run. Never again will I buy a LR. Buyer beware-you will have problems!
