“My 2004 hse Freelander with only 35,000 miles on it, this vehicle has been nothing but problems and it has been in the shop since june. '07 until jan. '08 for a coolant leak that lead to entire engine change. The keyless entry stopped unlocking the doors behind the passanger seat. My back window regulators are broken and I cannot close this window. Land rover needs to focus more on quality.”
