Consumer Description

WE PURCHASED A 2002 LAND ROVER FREELANDER. THE CAR HAS HAD NUMEROUS OCCASIONS OF OVERHEATING, LOSING COOLANT AND OIL AND WE HAVE NOW BEEN TOLD A NEW ENGINE IS NEEDED. THE CAR OWNER WAS ALSO TOLD AT 50,756 MILES THAT A NEW TRANSMISSION WAS NECESSARY. APPARENTLY LAND ROVER IS AWARE OF THIS RECURRING PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE, BUT IS DOING NOTHING TO CORRECT THE PROBLEMS. THERE HAS BEEN OCCASIONS WHEN THE CAR STOPS OR OVERHEAT IS CAUSING POTENTIAL SAFETY CONCERNS/PROBLEMS FOR THE CAR OCCUPANTS AS WELL AS OTHER DRIVERS. *TR
