Consumer Description

WE WERE DRIVING OUR 2003 LAND ROVER FREELANDER DOWN FREEWAY IN PORTLAND, OR AND ALL THE SUDDEN THE THERMOMETER BEGAN TO BOUNCE AROUND, THEN THE CAR DECIDED NOT TO GO ANYMORE AND THE ENGINE DIED ON FREEWAY !! SOMEONE COULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY INJURED FOR A DEFECT IN THE MOTOR THAT LAND ROVER HAS KNOWN ABOUT. ONCE THREE TRANSIENTS HELPED US WE GOT IT TO A SAFE PLACE AND LIFTED THE HOOD WHILE CLOUDS OF SOMETHING WAS BILLOWING OUT. CAR WOULD START BUT NOT STAY RUNNING AND ALL FLUIDS WOULD RUN RIGHT THROUGH IT.. LAND ROVER PORTLAND TOLD ME THAT IT WOULD NEED A NEW MOTOR. THIS CAR ONLY HAS APPROX. 65K MILES ON IT. ARE YOU SERIOUS!!! LAND ROVER WHAT A COP OUT... THEIR SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THIS MOTOR BEFORE SOMEONE GET SERIOUSLY INJURED OR KILLED. SO FAR NOTHING CAN BE DONE TO CORRECT THE FAILURE BECAUSE LAND ROVER NO LONGER CARRIES THIS MOTOR, WHAT ARE WE SUPPOSED TO DO!!!! *TR
