LAND ROVER FREE LANDER 2004, ENGINE DIES IN COLD TEMPERATURE. IT HAPPENED TO THREE TIMES IN LAST TWO WINTERS, WHEN I AM TRAVELING ON FREEWAY IN COLD TEMPERATURE. VEHICLE'S DIES WITHOUT ANY REASON. IT WOULD START AFTER AN HALF HOUR OR SO, BUT EACH TIME IT DIED, IT WAS VERY COLD AND MIDDLE OF NOWHERE. IF I DIDN'T HAVE MY SURVIVAL KIT,AND BLANKET, I WOULD HAVE BEEN DIED. WHEN I HAVE TOLD THIS PROBLEM TO DEALERS REP THEY SAID HAVE GOT THESE COMPLAINTS BUT COULDN'T FIND ANY PROBLEM. IN MY CASE I WAS IN NORTH DAKOTA AND HAD NO PROBLEM OF TRAFFIC, BUT IF THIS WAS IN NEW YORK OR CHICAGO, IT COULD HAVE BEEN FATAL. KINDLY REVIEW MY COMPLAINT. I SHALL BE THANKFUL TO YOU FOR THIS ACT OF KINDNESS, WHICH COULD SAVE MANY LIVES. *TR
