2002 LAND ROVER FREELANDER Visibility Problems

AFTER MULTIPLE REPAIRS TO MY 2002 FREELANDER INCLUDING MULTIPLE WINDOW REGULATOR FAILURES. THE TRANSMISSION GOES OUT. DEALER SAYS THEY CANT REPAIR MUST REPLACE. *TR

I HAVE A 2002 LAND ROVER FREELANDER. THE CAR IS MORE TROUBLE THAN ITS WORTH. FROM THE TRUCK NOT STARTING, WINDOWS ROLLING UP AND DOWN WHEN THEY FEEL LIKE IT, ENGINE COOLANT LEAKING, INTAKE MANIFOLD PROBLEMS, MISDIAGNOSED FROM LANDROVER, THE LOCKS DON'T WORK. THE CAR BASICALLY STARTS WHEN IT WANTS TO, IT DOESN'T NEED A NEW STARTER, OR SPARK PLUGS OR AN ALTERNATOR. WHEN DRIVING THE CAR WONT ACCELERATE AS A CAR SHOULD IT RIDES BUMPY AS IF THE ENGINE IS ABOUT TO DROP OUT. LAND ROVER WONT HELP WITH ANYTHING BECAUSE THEY SAY THAT THE COMPANY WHO MADE THE ENGINES FOR THE TRUCK WENT OUT OF BUSINESS. MANY PEOPLE COMPLAIN ABOUT THIS TRUCK. WHEN I TOOK THE CAR TO LAND ROVER TO SEE WHAT THE TICKING NOISE UNDER THE HOOD WAS THEY CHARGED ME 200 FOR A DIAGNOSTIC AND DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM WRONG. THE MAJOR PROBLEMS ARE THE WINDOWS...

I BOUGHT A 2002 LAND ROVER FREELANDER AS A 2ND OWNER OF THE VEHICLE FROM A LOCAL CAR DEALERSHIP. SINCE THE PURCHASE OF THE VEHICLE, I REPLACED A SUNROOF, A TRANSMISSION, THE BRAKES REQUIRE CONSTANT REPLACEMENT (MORE OFTEN THAN SHOULD BE NECESSARY), A PASSENGER DOOR WINDOW MOTOR AND THE ENGINE HAS BEEN REPLACED ONCE AND NOW HAS BLOWN AGAIN - I AM UNABLE TO HAVE THIS ENGINE REPLACED #1 THERE ARE NO MORE ENGINES AS THE LANDROVER DEALER ONLY MADE THIS DEFECTIVE MODEL 1 YEAR AND THERE HAVE BEEN SO MANY ENGINES REPLACED BY OTHER OWNERS THAT THERE ARE NO OTHER ENGINES AVAILABLE. EVEN IF THERE WERE ANY ENGINES I WOULD NOT PAY $10,000 TO HAVE ANOTHER "DEFECTIVE" ENGINE PLACED IN THIS VEHICLE. THERE ARE OVER 1400 MESSAGES ON THE EDMOND FORUM.COM OUTLINING OTHER PEOPLES SIMILAR COMPLAINTS. THIS DEFECTIVE VEHICLE HAS CAUSED COUNTLESS PEOPLE'S CREDIT TO BE RUINED, AND FINANCIAL...

I HAVE REPLACED FOUR WINDOW REGULATORS IN MY 2002 LAND ROVER FREELANDER AND JUST NOW REALIZED THAT I AM ABOUT TO REPLACE THE FIFTH. THE COST IS OUTRAGEOUS BUT THE POOR DESIGN IS ABSORB. EACH TIME THE REGULATOR BROKE IT STUCK IN AN OPEN POSITION LEAVING ME NO OPTION BUT CONTINUE TO HAVE IT REPAIRED. *TR

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT , TICKING ENGINE, ANTIFREEZE , OIL LEAK, SMELLING COOLANT INSIDE CAR AND NUMEROUS OTHER ISSUES SUCH AS WINDOW REGULATOR , WIPER MOTOR AND RATTLING NOISES UNDERNEATH CAR HAS BEEN MY COMPLAINTS SINCE FEB 13,2008. PARTS WERE REPLACED THAT DIDN'T CORRECT THE PROBLEM OF THE TICKING ENGINE, COOLANT LEAKS, SMELL OF COOLANT INSIDE CAR,AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WHICH ALWAYS COMES ON A COUPLE OF HOURS AFTER THE DEALER RETURNS MY CAR TO ME. CAR WAS TOWED FROM FREEWAY DUE TO BREAKDOWN ON THE WAY HOME 15 MINUTES AFTER PICKING CAR UP FROM MADISON DEALERSHIP FOR ENGINE REPAIR. DEALERSHIP STATED THAT THIS WAS DUE TO AN OIL SEAL/OIL PLUG AND IT WAS NOT THEIR FAULT ALTHOUGH THEY JUST FINISHED WORKING ON THE ENGINE. I DID NOT HAVE MY CAR FOR A TOTAL OF 30 DAYS NOT INCLUDING THE PRIOR VISITS WHERE THEY TOOK ALMOST 2 WEEKS TO DIAGNOSE THE...
