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!.

Many Land Rover Freelanders are having serious problems due to the faulty construction of the engine. Prior to complete engine failure, there may be unexplained coolant loss, overheating, and other problems related to head gasket failure. Because the cylinder liners are steel and the block is alloy, the cylinder liners tend to work their way into the block. When this happens, there is no way to repair the vehicle short of engine replacement, and many of the replacement engines have the same construction defect as the original vehicle.

Engine in a 2004 Land Rover Freelander failed due to after 62500 miles due to a head gasket failure. This is the first time the engine failed and has not been replaced as the dealership has quoted 8800 usd for the replacement engine, which I have been told is a rebuilt engine which has already failed.

The contact owns a 2004 Land Rover Freelander. While driving 55 mph, the engine failed. The vehicle had to be towed to a dealer and has been there ever since. The contact was informed that the only remedy would be to install a rebuilt engine in the vehicle. He was informed that this was such a common issue that there were no engines available at that time. The contact would have to wait six weeks for the repair. The head gasket failed and caused antifreeze to mix with oil, which destroyed the engine. In addition, the vehicle lost complete power during the failure. The contact stated that the cylinder liners were made of steel and the rest of the engine was aluminum. When the engine heated, the part collapsed into the aluminum parts, which caused the engine to fail and the power to shut off. The failure occurred on one occasion. There were no warning lights illuminated prior to the failure. The driver was unable to restart the vehicle after it stalled. The current and failure mileages were 45,000.

Vehicle's engine had head gasket failure as so many have. This resulted in anti-freeze leaking into the oil. Subsequently, the lower bearings failed and the engine needs to be replaced. Land rover refused to honor the warranty which was still in effect. They claimed a lack of proper maintenance even though we had all the proper service records. This will cost $6700. 00 to repair. Land rover even addresses this issue in a memo to their dealers. The internal memo is # 0036. A lawsuit will be filed. It may be a class action as there are so many complaints for the same thing posted on the web.

Head gasket failure.

My daughter was driving 65 mph when her vehicle lost all power and she pulled onto the shoulder. The vehicle was towed to an authorized service center where they found that the head gasket had failed. Before this the vehicle was operating normally with only routine maintenance.
