Consumer Description

2004 FREELANDER SE PURCHASED IN APRIL OF 2007. NOW, (1) CONTINUOUS COOLANT LEAKING, (2) CYLINDER SLEEVE HAS SLIPPED, (3) LOUD "KNOCKING" NOISE UPON STARTING THE ENGINE, (4) COOLANT LEAKING INTO OIL AND (5) ENGINE OVERHEAT LIGHT ILLUMINATING REGULARLY. CONSULTED LOCAL LAND ROVER DEALER, WAS TOLD THAT I WOULD NEED A "TOTAL ENGINE REPLACEMENT." THAT WAS MY ONLY OPTION. ALSO TOLD TO "GET RID" OF THE VEHICLE. I STILL OWE APPROXIMATELY $13,000 ON THIS VEHICLE, SO THAT IS NOT AN OPTION. WAS TOLD THAT ENGINE REPLACEMENT WOULD COST $10,000.00. THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN RAISED BY THOUSANDS OF FREELANDER OWNERS AND SHOULD BE LOOKED INTO FROM A LEGAL STANDPOINT BEFORE SOMEONE GETS INJURED OR WORSE DUE TO ENGINE LOCKUP. *TR
