My 2004 Freelander hs had engine failure at only 58,000 at dodger stadium in los angeles. I had taken regular care of this car to try to prevent any problems. It was passed the warranty. No warning engine light had gone on. I had it towed to mechanic. Engine is totally shot. I cannot afford to pay for new one. I have just recently read several complaints about this type of car , and never knew the same problem exists with these cars until recently. Someone needs to investigate. These cars are defective, and have all the similar problems that one way or the other lead to engine failure. My engine apparently went due to my timing belt teeth shearing off, causing timing belt to slip, and camshafts not rotating, and engine being mangled. There was no warning sign of this grand fatality, and had just had coolant problem fixed as well as serviced (oil & filter change) within months of incident. Again, no warning engine light at time of shut down.
