Land rover freelander hse 2002: at 70,000 miles, transmission halts, seizing, rapid RPM jumps; less than one month later, the transmission completely died. Inoperable car towed and transmission rebuilt at private shop. Five miles from shop after pickup, car seized and died. Now, an additional repair of the "transfer case," which we were told caused the transmission failure. Now, service engine soon light on; battery keeps dying. Rapid depreciation, frequent repairs of brakes, brake pads, headlights, etc. Complained to manufacturer 2/23/2007. Car inoperable as of this date. Don't know what to do -- owe more than it's worth, cannot get full nada/kbb trade in value...frustrated and disappointed. And out of money.
While driving on highways and inclines I noticed my truck engine slipping and losing speed...when the decent indicator light came on, I looked into the manual only to find that the manual shows that particular control - but states nothing about the transmission- it says my problem is the brakes. I took my truck to the brake shop and yes my brakes were in need of its set of 2nd rotors. So I had that fixed. On my way to work a few nights afterwards, I was driving up a hill when my truck died. Transmission dead. My 2002 land rover freelander's has only 69,000 miles on it. It is in need of rotors, a back window regulator and a transmission. I have already had overheating problems over and over again. This truck has been in the shop more than I have driven it. Headlight issues, brakes, water pump, temp gauge, engine problems, radiator and a few recalls. : (.
My 2002 landrover freeland has overheated 5 times since I purchased it in 2003. Each time the rand rover dealer repaired it and said it was something different. It just happened again and I brought it to a gargage. (since my warranty is up and the dealer ship claimed it was something different each time.).. This time it was fixed costing me $800.00. Not only has this been a problem, but I have had the headlights go out on me while driving across state at night on the thruwa and now the rear window is now not working. I have had nothing but problems and have spent alot of $$ on this truck. Unfortunately I cannot afford to buy something else. I am a single mom trying to out her kids through college... : ( I hope something can be done to prevent another consumer having these problems and someone really getting hurt. I have been very lucky I havent been in an accident or had the truck blow up while it over heated !!! Lol thanks....

- What is wrong
- On certain sport utility vehicles, the brake lights may remain illuminated even when the brake pedal is not depressed. Hill descent control (hdc), traction control (tc) and cruise control warning lights may also be illuminated.
- Risk
- Failure to provide the proper signal when braking could lead to a crash without warning.
- Remedy
- Dealers will inspect the brake lamp operation and where required, adjust and/or replace the brake light switches with new switches of the same design until a newly designed brake lamp switch is available in may 2007. Owners will then be re-notified to bring their vehicles in for the new brake light switch. An interim letter for the initial inspection was mailed on march 26, 2007. The second letter for replacement of the switches was mailed beginning july 30, 2007. Owners may contact land rover at 1-80-637-6837.
