The word dot above stands for department of transportation. I am still waiting to hear back from them on my complaint. I have not heard back from LR yet and the BBB was no help, they told me I should have had the brakes inspected before the car was one year old. Never heard of having to need to do that before. Good luck and keep fighting. You were right about might as well not have a warranty at all if they can pick and choose what is covered and what isn't.
How do you guys get this info? Do you work for LR?
Thanks very much in advance....
rvms :confuse:
I have been dealing with Land Rover Corporate becasue the dealer in Cherry Hill, NJ could give a toss.
They just keep telling me the standard customer service sentence, we'll take it up with the dealer and get back to you.
The dealer actually told me that the warranty on my new transmission is only good for the original warranty on the car, and then tried to get me to buy the 100,000 mile warranty for $1100.00.
I still have a year left to pay on it, but I am afraid it won't be running in another 3 months!!
My advice do not buy another Land Rover!! Apparently this is typical of the brand.
Good Luck
I hope that Land Rover realizes that they are not even coming close to the quality standards that other less prestigious manufacturers meet.
:mad:
My Jatco transmission slips between 1 and 2 in the normal mode. It worked poorly the first 500 miles, then became intermittent again at 11,500. Is this the common problem people are writing about? It is unnerving to do a right turn on red and then...coast while slipping.
Other issues:
-seat belt warning light wants to be on sometimes
-replaced leaking rear light
Good stuff:
-underbody rails protected me once from a hidden ceramic --pipe in a grassy field
traction is wonderful
Better than he average Ford but, that trans is making me nuts. The dealer can't get an error code so, no repair. Contacted LandRover corporate. I am letting them think I want to exercise the Lemon Law to get some improvement. I really want the car, if it will go reliably.
I have just read your message about the f4 error and a problem with the car changing from 2nd to 3rd...I have exactly the same issue...could this be linked to the throttle body on the car...as the computer seems to think that the throttle body is faulty?....how did you solve your problem?....many thanks!!
Thanks,

If you can't find it, you might try the original selling dealer... they may have it on file... otherwise, you'll probably have to pull the head unit to have it reset..

PS It has been in service 3 times this last year and we have have all the recommended service performed
I recently moved to Cape Cod MA and had a very sour experience with the dealer there. The service manager was totally arrogant (and i am not a "finicky" customer) in my opinion and acted like he was doing a favor for me to put me down for an oil change appt. Moreover, they charged me to put on the front license plate bracket (which should have been on the car to begin with, but never insisted as did not need in DE--I brought it with me--MA requires front and rear plates).....I cancelled the oil change appt. and have not been able to find a local garage to do it.
I am experiencing now some quirks in electrical system--the wipers will sometimes not come on right away--the alarm system will blink sometimes when open the car with remote entry....and I am worried about all the complaints I read on this board.
I have been looking to replace the car as warranty is near its end (I have about another 6,000 miles left).. Choices--TOyota (Highlander)...looked at Honda CRV and it definitely is much smaller than the Freelander for passengers and driver and handles a lot differently (I do not care for it).... The Honda Pilot is too large..and I do not wanna go American...Wondering if I should look into extended warranty for the Freelander--does anyone know what it costs and what it covers exactly?
Also, I heard that the "new Freelander" is to be called the LR2...and inside news as to quality, what is changed, etc? I was satisfied with my Freelander as long as everything is under warranty...but am fearful of what it will cost when that has expired.. :confuse:
Sorry to be so long-winded...Hope to hear some thoughts..
Thanks....rvrms

I am running again. Missing bolt on motor mount this time. Guess I am still participating until squelched or something. I will try to keep it factual only so I don't get squelched.
