  • electrical gremlins - 2002 Land Rover Freelander
    By -

    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!

  • complete failure - 2002 Land Rover Freelander
    By -

    a month after purchase with only 34000 miles I have to take it to the dealer for repair, after it reached 55000 , it has been trips to the shop, faulty parts and costly repairs that they say is not cover by the warranty, now at 80,000 i have to replace the transmition and the cooling system has a leak they dont know from where? if I keep driving I have to replace the engine, this is a well known issue with the dealer for this cars but they wont take responsability for the bad quality of the engine. Now after I spend $5000 for repairs I have to get rid off before the engine blows up! a toyota cost half of this one and last at least 250k miles!

  • Mine must have been the good one - 2002 Land Rover Freelander

    Ive seen all the reviews on the Freelander and I realize I was just lucky - mines been fairly trouble free in the five + years Ive had it. It hasnt been babied, either, but Ive also been picky about maintenance. But for snowy weather, its always been the best.

  • Freelander Warning! - 2002 Land Rover Freelander
    By -

    Nothing but problems with electric, engine, windows. Stupidly let mileage get past warranty, only to have engine blow due to a design defect Land Rover is well aware of, coolant leaks into engine block, lock-up, one dead engine. LR will do nothing for victims like me (estimated $10,000 or so loss in "value" from one day to next, as I now hold nothing but an engineless shell). Strongly recommend against Land Rover due to poor quality.

  • Awesome Vehicle - 2002 Land Rover Freelander

    I purchased my vehicle back in March 2007. I love it! It rides great and makes me feel safe when I drive it. The extras in it are worth it! I recommend this vehicle to anyone!

  • Groovy ride - 2002 Land Rover Freelander
    By -

    Just purchased a Freelander S. So far so good. A very solid vehicle with a quiet engine, good acceleration, and plenty of room for four. The cargo space is fine with the rear seats folded forward. The design inside and out sets it apart from the bland-looking competition, making it worth the higher price tag. Plus, its fun to drive!

    very expensive to service and maintain. axles are gone @ 75,000 miles, have replaced radio three times, replaced the entire fan unit and sensors at 72 K miles ($1100.00) rotors and pads will be replaced every 20 K miles, but they wont tell you that at the dealership. Service maintenance is time consuming and expensive.

  • Freelander rules! - 2002 Land Rover Freelander
    By -

    The reason to buy an SUV is to be able to go offroad, not to have tons of space for passengers and not for fancy interior design. If you want the former buy a minivan. The Freelander rides the road like it has magnets for tires. When it is raining, it feels like the pavement is dry. The build quality is outstanding. Some people have been negative about the interior design. However, plain it may be, it will last and take a beating. The leather seats are amazing. The Freelander drives itself. The stearing wheel is the best feel I have ever ecountered. I am very pleased with our Land Rover and our dealer was excellent.

  • Poorest quality SUV ever built - 2002 Land Rover Freelander
    By -

    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.
