NHTSA Complaint #10293618 — 2003 LAND ROVER FREELANDER

WHEN I PURCHASE MY CAR JAN 2009 IT HAD ROUGHLY 56,000 MILES ON IT. I DID NOTICE THAT WHEN I STARTED IT IN THE MORNING IT HAD A FUNNY SOUND. I TRIED TO BRING BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP SEVERAL TIMES TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT, EITHER NO ONE WAS THERE TO HELP ME OR THE NOISE WAS GONE SINCE THE CAR WAS WARM. I NOTICE SOME SMOKE A WEEK AGO AND FILLED THE ANTIFREEZE FLUID BACK TO MAX LINE, THEN I NOTICE THE ANTIFREEZE WAS DOWN PAST THE MIN LINE AGAIN, WITH NO ANTIFREEZE ON THE GROUND??? TOOK IT IN THE SHOP AND HE GAVE A LIST OF THIS WRONG, INTAKE MANIFOLD VALVES ALWAYS OPEN, BANK 1 & 2 LEAN, HE REPLACE MY "T" CONNECTOR, JUST TO NAME SOME.. OH YEAH AND NOISE COMING FROM THREE DIFFERENT PLACES.. VALVE TRAN, WATER PUMP/TIMING BELT AND THE ALTERNATOR. NO HE TOLD ME IT WILL COST THOUSAND OF DOLLARS TO FIX IT. *TR
