ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING |
THE ENGINE IN MY 2002 LAND ROVER FREELANDER OVERHEATED AT ABOUT 65K MILES AND MADE IT THE 10 MILES OR SO TO THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE CENTER ONLY BECAUSE I KEPT STOPPING, REMOVING THE COOLANT TANK CAP, AND REPLACING THE FLUID EVERY FEW MILES. THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE CENTER TOLD ME THAT THE ENGINE HAD TO BE REPLACED - AT MY EXPENSE, TO THE TUNE OF NEARLY $8K. MIND YOU, I PAID OVER $30K FOR THIS CAR ONLY 5 YEARS AGO AND HAVE KEPT IT WELL-SERVICED. TURNS OUT, THERE IS A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM WITH THIS PARTICULAR ENGINE (CHECK OUT THE EDMUNDS BLOG, TOWNHALL-TALK) IN THAT THE ENGINE IS RUINED IF IT OVERHEATS. I RECALLED HAVING HAD A MYSTERIOUS PROBLEM WITH THE ENGINE OVERHEATING - IN THE DEAD OF A CHICAGO WINTER, NO LESS - WITHIN A COUPLE OF YEARS AFTER PURCHASING IT. THE REPAIRS, WHICH I DID NOT UNDERSTAND, WERE MADE UNDER WARRANTY. APPARENTLY, THE REPAIRS WERE NOT ADEQUATE. IN ANY CASE, AFTER PESTERING LAND ROVER FOR A FEW WEEKS UNTIL I REACHED THE "CUSTOMER SERVICE MANAGER" IN NEW JERSEY, AN INDIVIDUAL WHO IDENTIFIED HERSELF AS THE "EXECUTIVE LIAISON" CALLED WITH A "ONE-TIME, GOODWILL OFFER BETWEEN US" THAT SHE WOULD NOT REDUCE TO WRITING - TO REDUCE THE ENGINE REPLACEMENT COST TO $2,500 FOR ME SINCE LAND ROVER CORPORATION WOULD PAY THE OTHER HALF OF THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE CENTER'S COST OF $5K, TREATING THE ENGINE REPLACEMENT AS IF IT WAS COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. THAT'S REAL NICE EXCEPT THAT I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY ANYTHING FOR LAND ROVER'S USE OF AN ENGINE WITH A FAULTY DESIGN. FROM WHAT THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE CENTER HAS TOLD ME, THEY REPLACE THE RUINED ENGINE WITH A REMANUFACTURED ENGINE PRODUCED BY THE SAME MANUFACTURER THAT SOLD THEM THE ORIGINAL FAULTY ONE. SWELL. *JB |
