| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Our 2002 land rover freelander began to over heat at 63,216 miles. we were lucky in that we were at a drive through near our house. we took the car home right away. upon getting an appointment with the dealer, the car was taken in for inspection. the long block needed replacing. this was due to the fact that a cylinder sleeve had slipped. we were able to get the engine replaced. upon further discussion with the dealer, it seems to be known that the engine will fail. this dealer has had owners come in for their 3rd motor all within the warranty. the life expectancy seems to be between 30,000 and about 65,000 miles. we are lucky that we were not anywhere far away or my wife was on business. this seems to be a bad design and right now it looks like land rover will do nothing about it. those whom are out of warranty are out of luck. *jb |
