| F-4 flashing on the odometer, both check engine lights on, and the hill descent/traction control lights coming on. vehicle quickly dropped power to no power.service engine soon light and car lost power while driving, something with the throttle was repaired the first time. then the harnesss was repaired and two weeks later the vehicle is doing the same thing again. mechanical problems continue now going on the 4th trip to the auto mechanic shop. there is no warranty left. maybe there is something to be done. it is obvious that i am not the only one having the same problem and yet nothing has been done to correct any situation. i will never never purchase another landrover in any model and will let anyone that is interested in purchasing a landrover of any model that they are not worth buying due to all the mechanical problems that knowingly seem to occur over and over. where landerover is making no attempt to make it right or even notify such situations in their vehicle. i would rather drive a ford at this point then to be stuck with this high maintenanced problem of a high end vehicle. landrover might not care about their consumers because they are selling the vehicle and who cares what happens after words we have our money. thank you for taking time to read all reports of your worthless vehicles. no impressed! | |||

| At 88,000 miles, my 2003 land rover freelander lost ~80% of power while going up a hill on a major high way and started to billow smoke. after steering the vehical out of traffic, i popped the hood to find the material on the lower side of the hood on fire. apon putting this fire out, i realized there was still a large amount of smoke coming from the underside of the engine cover and my anti-freeze was empty, when served only a couple weeks prior. after letting the vehical cool, i took off the engine cover to find it had a mixture of coolant and oil resting on top of it; a dark-milky colored liquid. upon having it towed and further inspected by a professional, not only is my head gasket gone, a fitting on the a radiator line had melted above the engine, and a catylitic converter is as well. i got it back to my house in this condition because i still owe $7500 and have only had it for 1 year. mechanically totalled in my driveway, it now only sometimes will shift and when it does, only happens with force. prior to this almost fatal disaster, i had three window assemblies brake; ruining the motors and causing them to fall while driving, and my brake lights do not function. i replaced the brake light switch, problem with brake lights still persists. i've given up hope on this suv and have got not one reply from land rover costumer service. i am stuck making payments, and even if i could afford to fix it, would never put my wife and daughter in it again. please get these vehicals off the road, before someone is even less lucky then i. | |||

| Service engine light on/off since 3 months of 14 mile car purchased. it occurs on and off even after the vehicle has been brought to the dealership. consequences according to the owners manual can have some major affect on the engine if not fixed and can cause car accidents on the road. unfortunately, the dealership just turns off the light to get rid of the issue and claim anything can trigger the light to be lit. *tr | |||
