Consumer Description

WE BOUGHT A LAND ROVER FREELANDER 9 MONTHS AGO FROM A USED CAR DEALERSHIP. 2 WEEKS AGO WE NOTICED THE HEATING GAGE GOING UP AND DOWN AND WE NEEDED A LOT OF COOLANT. YESTERDAY, THE ENGINE FAILED AND WE WERE TOLD WE NEED A NEW ENGINE. ACCORDING TO THE MECHANIC IT WAS A PROBLEM IN THE HEATING SYSTEM BECAUSE THE COOLANT IS LEAKING INTO AN UNKNOWN AREA. LANDROVER SAYS SINCE WE DIDN'T BUY IT FROM THEM, THEY WILL NOT HELP US. IN ORDER TO FILE A COMPLAINT, WE MUST TOW THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP, PAY THE DEALERSHIP TO EXAMINE THE CARE AND THEN WANT 2 TO 6 MONTHS FOR AN ENGINE, POSSIBLY A TRANSMISSION AS WELL TO BE ORDER. THEY ARE BACKORDERED NATION WIDE. THE CAR HAS ON 40,000 MILES AND HAS HAD GOOD MAINTENANCE REGULARLY. *TR
