2003 Land Rover Freelander electrical complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 25 of 25, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Brake lights not working, brake switch was recalled & then the recall was recalled. Resulting in no brake lights at all.
I have 78k on my '03 land rover freelander and the transmission just went out with the f-4 flashing on the odometer, check engine light on, and the hill descent/traction control lights coming on. Took it to the dealer which I have the warranty through, and they said it needs to be replaced for $3300, and the warranty company won't cover it. It has been in the shop since the end of feb '08 and I still haven't gotten it back, nor does anyone have any info on it. As far as events leading up to the incident, there was no warnings. It was running fine on the day prior, but then the next day it started shifting hard and the all the lights and codes occurred.

A sensor shut down the motor while I was driving on I-55. It required me to coast to the side of the road. (this happened in the summer of 2006.) last month, the water resevoir in the engine busted (despite dutiful maintenance) requiring a completely new engine to be installed. The radio has also malfunctioned twice, being replaced last time. No one was injured in either case, but it could have easily resulted in deaths when the vehicle quit in 70 mile per hour traffic!
Landrover freelander ongoing repairs. 1) bad passenger window actuator. 2) bad fuel pump 3) bad ignition/starter. 4) transmission failure.
Burning smells, dashboard lights on and off, rear window won't go down, stalls at stop lights, fan blower won't work on speeds 1-3, total electrical mess.
Electrical drain on system continued to weaken the battery, causing overall electrical shutdown. The car has been to the dealer three times. The first time, in december, the truck was at the dealer for one week. The last time was march 16, 2005 and it took the dealer 13 days to find, track and resolve the problem. I am picking up the vehicle tomorrow, march 30 to see if the problem has been resolved.

The vehicle's check engine light illuminated. *nm the mirrors did not reach some angles, the gas cap could not get open, and the vehicle suddenly died out without warning. The consumer was informed that the battery was a problem.
On 4 separate occasions vehicle stalled while driving. Only on the first occasion the engine check light came on. Dealership replaced the battery, and a part in the engine. However, problem still exists.
