2002 Land Rover Freelander Fuel system Problems

“I have had numerous problems with my 2002 landrover Freelander. Last month the gasoline broke while driving, spewing out a full tank of gas. This month, on my way for routine service, almost 200 miles away, the transmission went. I had it towed (for the fourth time) to landrover spokane who quoted me a price of 7100 dollars to fix my transmission. This car is just coming up to 55,000 miles.”

“2002 Land Rover Freelander intake motors. Replaced by owner approx 40k miles ago. I was in a very bad(unrelated) auto accident 22 july. While relatives were available to take me to doctors,etc., I knew I also had a trouble light on the Freelander that had to be cleared for state inspection. When they took it to lr of cary I had to replace yet again the entire plenum assembly at a cost of 2k to owner.

I purchase car from dealer that sold 85% land rovers. Do you think they new what I was in for? Yes!. You shouldn't allow cars to be sold in america if there is no actual fix for the car. I read that engine replacement is bad as original. Will someone buy this car? …”

“During the repair of our transmission, we began to get check engine lights. After the transmission was fixed, it was taken to the dealer for service. Upon driving to the dealer, the car had no power. This became very difficult to drive and dangerous. Trying to get up to the 65 MPH speed limit on a freeway took almost 2 miles.
