“I was driving on i45 on my way to work, when my 2002 Land Rover Freelander stopped working without any notice. I had to quickly do anything I could to ge out off the freeway with no power. It was one of the scariest days of my life. Thankfully the other drivers noticed that there was something wrong with the car and slowed and I was able to exit. I had to get the car towed to a shop where they told me that I needed a new fuel pump. I got it replaced and it worked well for 2 month and now its leaking fuel. The motor is also leaking antifreeze all over the place. You need to look into this cars. …”

“Engine will stall when vehicle is on an incline, in dive gear, and allowed to roll back. Also, if vehicle is allowed to rollback and brakes are applied, vehicle will stall. Dealer says that this is a safety feature and that all same model vehicles does the same thing. If this is indeed a safety feature, then brakes should have automatically engaged when the engine stalls. This is not the case, however as the vehicle will continue to rollback with the stalled engine.”

“I have a 2002 Land Rover Freelander. The car is more trouble than its worth. From the truck not starting, windows rolling up and down when they feel like it, engine coolant leaking, intake manifold problems, misdiagnosed from landrover, the locks don't work. The car basically starts when it wants to, it doesn't need a new starter, or spark plugs or an alternator. When driving the car wont accelerate as a car should it rides bumpy as if the engine is about to drop out. Land rover wont help with anything because they say that the company who made the engines for the truck went out of business. …”
