2002 Land Rover Freelander SE review from North America

"Problematic"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

I have an 02 Freelander SE. It has spent many days in the shop since I purchased it. There is an intermittent electrical problem that basically turns every failure light on the dashboard on. This has occurred multiple times when driving the vehicle. On several instances when this catastrophic failure occurs the transmission will somehow mysteriously shift from a high gear to a low gear will at freeway speed (kinda of scary). To make a very long story short there are no error codes stored on the internal computer so the dealer cannot even trouble shoot the problem. The dealer has taken the vehicle and road tested it, but cannot replicate the problem. As I have told the dealer it’s random I CAN’T REPLICATE IT—IT JUST HAPPENS.. I think the dealer is trying their best at trying to resolve the problem, but they cannot replace anything on the car unless they can replicate the problem. As I mentioned earlier in this email the problem is random, I can’t even replicate it—it just happens. As of about 3 weeks ago the transmission has began to shift really hard from gear to gear. Another dealer visit!!! There is something horribly wrong with my car. I recommend people contact the http://www.nhtsa.dot.gov/ as I have and file a complaint you can also call 1-888-DASH-2-DOT (1-888-327-4236) to file a complaint.
