NHTSA Complaint #10249560 — 2002 LAND ROVER FREELANDER

I HAVE A 2002 FREELANDER THAT I BOUGHT NEW IN 2002. I HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS WITH IT. MOST RECENTLY THE TRUCK WAS UNDRIVEABLE FOR SEVERAL MONTHS AT THE BEGINNING OF 2008 DUE TO OVERHEATING. FINALLY SAVED ENOUGH MONEY TO TAKE IT AND HAVE IT REPAIRED. HAVE DRIVEN IT FOR 5 MONTHS AND AM AGAIN LOSING COOLANT. HAVE PAID SEVERAL THOUSAND DOLLARS FOR REPAIRS DUE TO OVERHEATING AND OTHER ISSUES OVER THE LAST YEAR. NOW, THE RIGHT REAR PASSENGER WINDOW MOTOR IS DEAD. LIKE MANY OTHERS WHO OWN THESE VEHICLES, THE TRANSMISSION HAD TO BE REPLACED. THERE ARE CLUNKING NOISES WHEN IT IS PUT IN GEAR. THERE IS AN ELECTRICAL GREMLIN THAT MAKES THE REAR WINDOW GO UP AND DOWN FOR NO REASON. I HAVE HAD THE SUNROOF STUCK OPEN AND HAD THAT FIXED. THE MOTOR WAS TAPPING CONSTANTLY AND THE DEALER TOLD ME THE SOUND WAS NORMAL. AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC REPAIRED THE TAPPING NOISE WHICH WAS THE INTAKE MANIFOLD. MY TRUCK HAS BEEN OUT OF WARRANTY AND I'M OUT OF MONEY. *TR
