I purchased this car in 2003 because I wanted a sporty, fun and upscale SUV. Since then, I have had numerous problems with this vehicle. These problems include the engine not shutting off while no key in the ignition, severe alignment issues that could not be fixed by Land Rover and an A/C system that shoots ice out of the vents on hot days. I am very diappointed in this vehicle.
Agree with the class action suit

Had my car for 2 yrs, has 83000 miles on the car. The fuel pump went, upper air intake needed replaced and it too leaked coolant into the oil causing me to need a new engine. All in a 7 month period. The Land Rover dealer told me these cars are unreliable and they have this problem at least once a month. He told me to get rid of it because I will only have more problems. What does that tell you when the dealer thinks it is a piece of junk!!!

We owned this vehicle for approximately 20 months. Total cost of repairs exceeded $16,000.00. No kidding. The engine has inherent design flaws. The cylinder sleeves will fail, coolant will flow into the block, your motor will be shot. You will experience electrical failures right and left. This is the second and last product we will buy from Land Rover and Range Rover. Utterly worthless vehicles. Our Discovery was only marginally better. Gulps fuel as well.
Freelander: the right sized SUV

The Freelander is a unique, fun to drive, premium small SUV. I like to think that it's the perfect size -- just big enough to haul my gear around, but not as huge as some of the other small to mid SUVs. It looks great, and there are few of them around so I don't see myself coming and going. Road holding is very car like. The interior is comfortable, if a bit spartan. Back seat room is exellent and comfortable. LATCH access for the baby seat is great. Since this is the last of the current body style, the dealers are dealing, so if you want the base model S (which goes away next year), get to your dealer today to check it out.

I have a love/hate relationship with my Freelander. The quality isn't what I would expect from LR. Two main issues I have had is watering spraying out of the AC after 10 minutes of driving and problems with my locks. I have had it in the shop at least 7 times to have the AC fixed but they couldn't figure it out and their answer was 'That is how the car was designed'. I am VERY DISAPPOINTED with the customer service group at Land Rover. I hope you do not have to deal with them for any complaints. Very rude people. Don't get me wrong, I still love my freelander but I now second guess if I over paid for something I had higher expectations for.
