Its really a 2001 Freelander, there is no 2001 Freelander in the search options. . . . But anyways I havent had any problems at all with my car until about 16500 miles and my left rotor started grinding so I had to get both of my front pads replaced and the drums were fine. I dont think that the pads should go out this soon, I still have the original tires on, and they will need to be replaced in the next year, but the pads went out so soon. Everything is fine now. . . . Its a great car.
Vehicle has 19,000 miles. Brought into dealer for emissions work. Dealer stated I needed new front brakes (pads & rotors). Rotors are deeply grooved. I expressed concern that at under 20k miles I needed new rotors. Was told this was "regular wear and tear" and not covered under warranty. Dealer stated that Land Rover needs their rotors replace every 10-15k. I consider this excessive wear and tear. Dealer will not cover under warranty. I have numerous other issues with car & dealer as well.
