Consumer Description

OWN A 2003 LAND ROVER FREELANDER SE, VEHICLE LOOSES COOLANT INTO ENGINE THEN OVER HEATS. HAD HEAD GASKETS REPLACED AT A COST OF $1,700.00. VEHICLE STILL LEAKING COOLANT INTO ENGINE. I DID SOME INVESTIGATION INTO THIS MATTER FOUND A CHAT ROOM ON EDMUNDS.COM IT SEEMS IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE, THE CAUSE OF THE COOLANT LEAK IS A POOR DESIGN OF THE ENGINE. IT SEEMS THAT THE CYLINDER SLEEVE SHIFTS INSIDE THE ENGINE AND THE COOLANT BURNS INTERNALLY. LAND ROVER IS WELL AWARE OF THIS ISSUE BUT DOES NOT WANT TO REPLACE ENGINE. *TR
