Consumer Description

I HAVE A LANDROVER FREELANDER 2002. I HAVE HAD THE CAR FOR A YEAR. 2 MONTHS AFTER GETTING THE CAR IT NEEDED A HEAD GASKET WITH ONLY 87,000 MILES ON IT. FROM WHAT I'VE HEARD MINE LASTED LONGER THAN MOST. I HAD TO PUT 2000,00 INTO IT RIGHT AFTER PUTTING 4000,00 AS A DOWN PAYMENT. THE REPAIR SHOP SAID THAT LANDROVER RECOMMENDED IT GET A NEW MOTOR BUT THE WARRANTY COMP. WOULDN'T COVER IT. A NEW MOTOR COST ABOUT 7000,00. THIS IS GOING ON WITH HUNDREDS OF LANDROVERS, BECAUSE OF THE MATERIAL THE MOTOR IS MADE OUT OF. I CANT THINK OF ONE GOOD REASON WHY THERE SHOULD NOT BE A RECALL ON THIS CAR. PEOPLE ARE MAKING PAYMENTS ON CARS THEY CANT EVEN DRIVE. WE MAY BE FORCED TO DO A VOLUNTARY REPO SO WE CAN GET ANOTHER CAR. PEOPLES LIVES ARE BEING DESTROYED BECAUSE OF THIS CAR. SOMETHING HAS TO BE DONE. *TR
