Engine Exhaust System Problems of Land Rover Freelander

Engine needed to be replaced only within about 2 weeks of purchasing vehicle, approximate 5,000 miles later the engine begins to fault again and I was told that it could be because antifreeze was leaking into my engine or one of my head gaskets blew again, not to mention the cooling system failed again and I needed a new o-ring already.

I am having problem with the entire engine system. I spent $1000 repairing the timing belt, yet the timing belt persist with engine failure. Mass airflow meter keep blowing up, I am bought 3 at $325 so far. I have spent another $2000 to get the engine fixed still no solutions. Highlight keeps coming on every time I press the brake light. The car won't speed up check engine lights come on, srs light is on everything in this car is bad as a result make it real unsafe. Please people try to do something for the people that drive this and hopefully get it off the market.

Head gasket failure 55,000 miles blown engine. In repair over 23 x's landrover acknowledged engine was loosing anti freeze, but couldn't find where. Caused my son to throw up everytime he was driven in the car. Caused severe headaches in all who drove for an extended period of time. This is a very expensive repair needs a new engine. A very common problem. Why hasn't this been recalled yet?? this is very distressing to have a car four yrs and a blown engine. Very sad and disturbing to a family during a recession!!! car engines shouldn't fail at 55,000 and can't be driven because they make a family sick!.

I owned a 2002 land over Freelander, since 2006. It has been having engine problem 12 months after purchasing. I have contacted and interviewed other consumers with the same vehicle and issues. When I contacted Land Rover, they refused to do anything about it. The engine first over heats, it then has a cackling sound in the head, the service engine sign is always on. When I take it to the dealers for diagnostics, one employee said that these model vehicles come in for this problem very often. The vehicle was estimated to cost me over $5,000 to repair. This was not feasible being that there was a $70,000 payment left on the car. I had to turn it in to the bank but still stuck with a payment on a car that I can't even drive and was manufacturer's and dealers defect.

1. The head gasket fails allowing coolant to leak into the crank case, which at highway speeds the motor locks up. , which can cause a serious accident 2. When the failure occurs the motor is destroyed, and there are thousands of people with these vehicles with defective motors and Land Rover refuses to do anything if out of warranty. But they are aware of the problem because the new Freelander has a completely different motor design which shows that they were aware of this defect. We need your assistance im making this safety issue a national recall. 3. Land rover totally refuses to do anything, they say take it to a Land Rover dealership, but it will be all at your expense.

At 48,000 miles, I'm being told I have to replace the engine since coolant is leaking into the oil. This is the latest in a long line of problems with this vehicle. On my 2002 Freelander se.

After buying the car used @ 42,000 miles my 2002 Land Rover Freelander was immediately diagnosed a month after intermittent starting problems with a blown head gasket and I needed a new engine. My car is a safety hazard as it stopped randomly of a highway and left me stranded. I am not the only person experiencing this blown head gasket problem as it is an engineering failure of this SUV. Land rover will not help, this is a disgrace that so many people have suffered from this problem and nothing has been done.

June 31 driving 30 miles, the vehicle made sounds as though gears were shifting, & check engine lights, tc light, & track control lights came on, & vehicle lost major power, resulting to a drag in transmission allowing to drive about 2-5 miles. Jul 1 vehicle taken to carmax service (cm), of which both lights had gone off. I was advised that the vehicle was still under manufacturer?s warranty, & cm would have it towed ASAP. July 5 cm sr advised me that they determined no problems, & the issue I experienced was most likely caused by a loose gas cap. July 19 upon my travel, I experienced no engine trouble, but my back passenger window wouldn't roll up. July 23 vehicle taken to cm; they sent the vehicle to lr to have the back window motor replaced. I didn't bother with advising of the every so often engine problems, because I assumed it was the gas cap. July 25 I refused to take possession due to a very loud clicking sound coming from the engine. It was sent back to lr. On July 26, cm sr advise me that lr says the clicking sound is one of the characteristics in a lr; however the clicking is a little louder than usual, & they would order a few parts to quiet the clicking sound down. Early Aug while driving down peachtree st in atlanta, GA with ample traffic, in rain, thunder, & lightening, 40 miles, vehicle engine gave out again, with all lights coming on, & no power. October 20 driving i75-s, it happened again. It lost power while driving 60+ miles, as the lane curved. Turning into a service station, it lost power again. Oct 22 vehicle is currently at the lr, while incurring a rental car cost, I am uncertain as to what the temporary fix will be. I want out! I will be contacting cm to inquire about a buy back, of which the lr service advisor informed me of.

Land rover Freelander 2002 transmission issues, traction control light stays on and check engine light. Transmission and engine issues galore, currently only have 54,000 miles on the vehicle.

Car stalled in busy intersection. Speed limit 45. No, power, no brakes, wouldn't start. The check engine light came on. Timing cover, cam gear came apart & damaged the heads and pistons. Sublet oil cooler for clean & rod replaced motor.

I have had the same problems with my Freelander since the day they delviered it. The check engine, the service engine soon and the coolant/overheating warning. I have also had problems with brakes.

The passenger cabin filled with smoke. Apparent cause is a blown cam plug. Dealer claims cold climate causes build-up of vapor presure in the engine. The plug blows out and oil pours onto the hot exhaust system. Dealer claims they have seen this before, and that a cold climate kit that is used in canada resolves the issue. But Land Rover will not pay for the modification which cost me $296! this could have easily caused a fire of an accident.
