SUVs Land Rover Freelander Transmission Problems

I have an '02 Freelander with 34,000 miles. The transmission was replaced under warranty in April 05 and it is being replaced once again now. I called Land Rover US corporate asking if they could provide some sort of extended warranty on the transmission as it is highly unlikely that the transmission went twice without some sort of problem wiht the truck that would cause it to go again. I was told that since I have not frequented the dealer for general maintenance they could not help me. In fact had I done normal maintenance at the dealer they would have caught or prevented this type of problem. Any thoughts on how to pursue this with Land Rover and what sort of "preventive" maintenance they would have done to the transmission to prevent this? |

To pursue their thread of logic, get them to tell you what it is (short of complete replacement of the VCU and/or Intermediate Reduction Drive every few thousand miles) that they would have done during their routine servicing to prevent the general self-destruction of the rest of the drive train. Find out that little gem, and the Freelander owning population of the world will beat a path to your door!!!! Love the car (-- pity about the transmission and the 1.8 litre petrol engine!!!!)

| Sorry to hear about your trouble. My transmission was replaced on my 2002 Freelander also. Luckily it was still under warranty. Now you have me worried the transmission may go again! | |
