#21 of 281 Re: How many of you have a problem with the Freelander? [thewolfes] by wildrover Dec 12, 2006 (1:59 pm)
Replying to: thewolfes (Jul 21, 2006 1:57 pm) My freelander is in the gargage once again. My TRANSMISSION went at 65,000 miles. I am so upset about all the trouble I have had with this truck. It has financially ruined me. I cant even trade it in... or sell it. : ( Replies to this message: kelesmom (Mar 30, 2007 8:19 am)

Replying to: zducer (Oct 14, 2006 8:29 pm) I did report it to the NHTSA. I want anyone who is even thnking about buying this truck to be warned of the problems I have had so they will not go through the same headache and heartache. I am learning alot from reading this threads. Wish I would of researched this truck and found this site before I purchased it.So hopefully others will learn from what we have all experianced with our Freelanders. : ) Replies to this message: lemonct (Jun 02, 2009 4:07 pm)
#24 of 281 Same problems - the car is garbage - wish there was something we could do! by jimny Dec 15, 2006 (7:55 am)
I bought the Freelander in 6/03 In '05 the engine sucked a valve (is what they call it) needed to be rebuilt - approx 5.5K - I was over warranty by 3K miles but they covered it. I had to pay 1K for timing belt and other parts - quote since it's apart lets do the maintenance. Rear window motor went last month - another common problem.    Started to hear other clunking noises in the front end when turning - not sure what that is.    Last week - Transmission started slipping - dealer quotes it 5400 - like 4600 hundred for the trany and 1000 for some leak plenum leak above the tranny. Car has 68K miles and I do not have the extended warranty. I still owe 6100 on it    Dealer said they;d give me 3K for the car - Joy - can you guys screw me any more please?    I will be contaced the lemon law site hopefully something happens with this piece of junk car.

Replying to: jimny (Dec 15, 2006 7:56 am) Ouch.... we all have been burned very badly by our Land Rover Freelanders. I can not believe all the people that have such horrible troubles with this truck. Land Rover should step up to the plate and offer to buy back these vehicles or something equivalent. After going over the 50,000 warranty... I have had so many problems and the dealer had my truck more than I did and the labor there was outrageous....I ended up having no choice but to take it to private gargages. And from what I have learned here in New York where I live. Dealers and Garages do not even want to touch these trucks... and when they do.... its still extremely costly. Its a no win situation we have.   If I were you..... while your transmission is starting to slip.... get rid of it now ! Mine starting slipping last month.... and its gone now... I cant not get anyone to touch repair it for any less than $5000. The most popular Transmission shop in our area even turned me down telling me he will not take these trucks anymore due to past experiences with them. But I will not let this go. Whats going on with these trucks are not acceptable... I work for attorneys and I am going to get answers and action. We should all get together on this. Are you in ?? Whos in ?? Lets fight this all together. Something must be done.

Replying to: jimny (Dec 18, 2006 6:23 am) My 2002 SE is back at the dealer again. Getting a new engine. I'm exhausted. No words left to express the depths of despair. Only one more year of payments until I can sell it and break even...lol.
#29 of 281 This car SUCKS!!! by akgrrl74 Dec 27, 2006 (7:48 pm)

#30 of 281 getting help by wildrover Dec 28, 2006 (12:46 pm)
There has to be something we all can do to get help. This truck is obviously a lemon. I am waiting for a call from Land Rover. When I get it I will tell you what they suggest or hopefully offer. We should keep in touch with eachother and get something going ??? Any suggestions ? We should begn asap. My truck is sitting in the garages lot.... I cant afford to replace the tranny....I also am still making payments on my freelander... 2 more years !! I am driving a borrowed truck from a friend. After all these repairs..... this truck has hurt me and my family financially... and its not even close to over with. : ( I am game for any thing we can do.
