| 2002 | POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION | I PURCHASED A NEW 2002 LAND ROVER FREELANDER FROM LAND ROVER NEW ORLEANS (PARETTI) ON AUGUST 19, 2002. SINCE THAT TIME, THE VEHICLE HAS HAD CONTINUOUS PROBLEMS. THE POWER STEERING, TRANSMISSION, TRANSFER CASE (2), IRD UNIT (2), FRONT DRIVE SHAFT, MANIFOLD CHAMBER AND OTHER ITEMS HAVE BEEN REPLACED AND THE BRAKE PADS (2) HAVE HAD TO BE CHANGED. THE VEHICLE ONLY HAS 35,498 MILES. AFTER REVIEWING EDMUNDS.COM AND OTHER CONSUMER RESOURCE SITES, IT APPEARS THAT THE PROBLEMS THAT I ENCOUNTERED HAVE ALSO BEEN ENCOUNTERED BY OTHERS PURCHASING THIS VEHICLE. I HAVE HAD 23 WARRANTY CLAIMS ON THIS VEHICLE AND LAND ROVER NORTH AMERICA, INC., AS OF JANUARY 2005, HAS PAID IN EXCESS OF $11,994.55 FOR REPAIRS ON A VEHICLE THAT HAD A PURCHASE PRICE OF $30,603.77. THE AFOREMENTIONED AMOUNT DOES NOT INCLUDE THE COSTS OF REPLACING THE TRANSFER CASE, IRD UNIT, FRONT DRIVE SHAFT AND MANIFOLD CHAMBER IN APRIL 2005 OR THE REPLACEMENT OF THE SUN ROOF ASSEMBLY IN JUNE 2005. NEITHER THE LOCAL LAND ROVER DEALER NOR LAND ROVER NORTH AMERICA, INC. HAVE BEEN COOPERATIVE IN DEALING WITH ME ON THIS ISSUE. *JB |
| 2005 | UNKNOWN OR OTHER | WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD DURING HURRICANE SANDY AND THE CAR SHIFTS (OR LAGS) INTO EXTREMELY LOW GEAR, MAYBE 5-10 MPH. THE SERVICE ENGINE, SERVICE ENGINE SOON, AND OTHER LIGHTS ON DASH CAME ON AND VEHICLE WAS LURCHING. ONCE I ABLE MOVE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, I AM ABLE TO TURN THE VEHICLE OFF, WAIT LESS THAN 5 MINUTES AND TURN BACK ON, STILL DOING SAME THING. LUCKILY FRIENDS HOUSE WAS JUST DOWN THE STREET, AND COP STAYED BEHIND US UNTIL WE GOT THERE. THIS VEHICLE HAD ABOUT 110,000 MILES WHEN WE PURCHASED FROM A PRIVATE PARTY OUT OF STATE - THREE WEEKS AND THREE HUNDRED MILES LATER THE VEHICLE IS NOW DEAD. THESE FREELANDERS ARE NOT DEPENDABLE. I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO BECAUSE IT WAS FINE WHEN I BOUGHT IT, AND MECHANIC NOW SAYS IT NEEDS 7,000 WORTH OF WORK!! THIS IS AND WOULD HAVE BEEN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS, ESPECIALLY IF YOU ARE ON THE HIGHWAY DRIVING THE SPEED LIMIT AND THE CAR JUST SUDDENLY LAGS TO 5 MPH! PLEASE TAKE THESE VEHICLES OFF THE ROAD!! *TR |
