Consumer Description

I HAVE HAD MANY PROBLEMS WITH MY 2002 FREELANDER. MAINLY RELATED TO ENGINE OVER-HEATING WHICH CAUSES COOLANT TO EVAPORATE AND ALSO THE COOLANT LEAKS INTO THE ENGINE. I MENTIONED THIS PROBLEM WITH THE DEALER WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS IN WARRANTY, BUT THEN THEY SIMPLY REFUSED TO TAKE CARE OF THE CORE PROBLEM WHICH IS THE ENGINE. THIS ENGINE OVER-HEATING RESULTED IN SPOILING THE A/C BLOWER AND HEATER CORE, AND ALSO I WAS LEFT STRANDED IN THE MIDDLE OF NO-WHERE 4 TIMES. AND EACH TIME I HAD TO TOW THE VEHICLE ($150 EACH TIME) AND THE ONLY RESPONSE FROM DEALERSHIP WAS TO KEEP ADDING MORE COOLANT. I AM NOW OUT OF WARRANTY AND NOT SURE WHAT DO I DO WITH THIS VEHICLE. I CANNOT USE THIS TO GO ANYWHERE (IT CAN FAIL ANYTIME), DON'T FEEL LIKE CHEATING SOMEBODY SELLING THIS CAR. I AM TOTALLY CLUELESS AND NEED HELP TO THE CORE ISSUE RESOLVED, WHICH I THINK IS ENGINE. *TR
