Consumer Description

OUR WELL-MAINTAINED 2002 FREELANDER HAD ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION FAILURE WITHIN 6 MONTHS OF REACHING 50,000 MILES. IN BOTH CASES THE FAILURES OCCURRED DURING HIGHWAY DRIVING WITH NO WARNING LIGHTS OR INDICATIONS OF PROBLEMS. IN BOTH CASES THE LOSS OF POWER/CONTROL POSED A SERIOUS HEALTH HAZARD TO EVERYONE IN THE CAR. ONE OF THESE EVENTS OCCURRED IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING SERVICE AND SAFETY CHECK BY THE DEALER. THIS CARE IS SO BADLY DESIGNED THAT IS A DRIVING HAZARD AND SHOULD BE RECALLED IN ITS ENTIRETY. THE VERY EXTENSIVE INFORMATION ON MAJOR FAILURES WITHOUT WARNING ATTEST TO THE DANGERS THAT THIS VEHICLE IS IMPOSING ON THE PUBLIC ON A DAILY BASIS. *TR
