Air Conditioner Problems of Land Rover Freelander

In October of 2002 my husband and I purchased a 2002 Freelander from landrover north dade of florida. The car was in the showroom with minimal miles. Within three(3) days of purchase we returned the car because it shook violently after reaching a speed of 50 mph. I must admit the dealership advised us of some type of malfunction and offered us an exact replacement Freelander. At that point we should have asked for a refund of our cash payment and left landrover alone. It has been a completely expensive nightmare diving this lemon with its myriad of problems: repeated overheating, loss of power without warning (often times resulting in close call situations, replaced brakes and rotor (lost count), not to mention an air conditioner unit that only works on full power(imagine that in florida). At present, the vehicle is at an authorized landrover repair shop because the warranty has ended. The landrover dealership has been negligent even rude when approached regarding all these mechanical defects. Two weeks out of every two to three months, my young children and I are without transportation and at least $800. 00 minimum, each time. Most importantly however is my fear to drive the car at all, and to add insult to injury, we are offered $3000. 00 by carmax when we attempted to sell them a car we purchased for over $30,000. With 73k miles.

When turning on air conditioner water sprayed out through the vents. Vehicle was taken to dealer, but situation is not remedied. Please add further details.

A/c unit is not adequate to cool car without being able to turn off reicrculation button, as per owner's manual reccomondations. Does not allow proper ventilation and could possibly cause driver fatigue during long haul operations due to lack of fresh air being introduced into the cabin. Also on hotter/sunny days you must keep fan turned up to a high level in order to gain any cooling affect thus causing noise fatigue. System is overall ineefective and has been verified by several owners on bbs's. Have had system checked by dealer for proper operation and it checked out ok.
