NHTSA Complaint #10248737 — 2002 LAND ROVER FREELANDER

BOUGHT A 2002 LAND ROVER FREELANDER USED A LITTLE OVER A YEAR AGO WITH UNDER 55,000 MILES. JUST GOT IT BACK YESTERDAY FROM THE SHOP WITH AN ESTIMATED REPAIR COST OF OVER $10000.00 AND THAT IS JUST IN PARTS NOT LABOR. DID SOME RESEARCH ON THE VEHICLE AND COME TO FIND OUT OTHERS HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEMS WITH LESS MILEAGE ON THERE VEHICLES AND THERE HAVE BEEN ABSOLUTELY NO RECALLS ON THIS VEHICLE THAT INCLUDE ANY OF THESE PROBLEMS. THE WORST OF WHICH BEING THE ENGINE LEAKING ANTIFREEZE INTO THE OIL. THIS COULD CAUSE THE MOTOR TO OVERHEAT AND SEIZE AND LOCK UP. WHO KNOWS WHAT KIND OF DAMAGE OR WHAT KIND OF ACCIDENT THIS COULD HAVE CAUSED IF THIS HAD HAPPENED TO THE VEHICLE WHEN MY WIFE WAS DRIVING TO WORK . WE LUCKED OUT AND DISCOVERED THE PROBLEMS BEFORE MY WIFE, MYSELF OR ANYONE ELSE GOT HURT. THERE ARE MAJOR PROBLEMS WITH THESE VEHICLES AND LANDROVER SHOULD BE HELD RESPONSIBLE. *TR
