2002 Land Rover Freelander Complaints

2002 LAND ROVER FREELANDER INTAKE MOTORS. REPLACED BY OWNER APPROX 40K MILES AGO. I WAS IN A VERY BAD(UNRELATED) AUTO ACCIDENT 22 JULY. WHILE RELATIVES WERE AVAILABLE TO TAKE ME TO DOCTORS,ETC., I KNEW I ALSO HAD A TROUBLE LIGHT ON THE FREELANDER THAT HAD TO BE CLEARED FOR STATE INSPECTION. WHEN THEY TOOK IT TO LR OF CARY I HAD TO REPLACE YET AGAIN THE ENTIRE PLENUM ASSEMBLY AT A COST OF 2K TO OWNER. ADVISED BY DEALER THAT THE PARTS WHEN THEY RECEIVE THEM ARE SOMETIMES MALFUNCTIONING UPON RECEIPT. POSSIBLE ACCIDENT IN COLO CAUSED BY SEIZED INTAKE MOTORS(PER LR DEALER IN COLO) NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS OF FAULTY INTAKE MOTORS CAN BE EASILY FOUND ON LINE. *KB

A CAR MADE TO BREAK DOWN ON YOU. I BOUGHT A LANDROVER FREELANDER 2002 AND BARELY DROVE IT...IT HAD BEEN A LEASED VEHICLE AND WAS WELL TAKEN CARE OF...HOWEVER...IT BROKE DOWN AS SOON AS I GOT IT. FIRST IT WAS A COOLANT PROBLEM, IT OVERHEATED WHILE I WAS DRIVING IT HOME FROM WORK. I LIVE 5 MILES FROM WORK. THE FIRST YEAR I BOUGHT THE CAR I PUT LESS THAN 1000 MILES ON IT AND HAD ALREADY BROUGHT IT IN AT LEAST 3 TIMES FOR PROBLEMS. THE FIRST WAS THE COOLANT, AND THEN I BROUGHT IT IN A FEW TIMES SINCE IT CONSTANTLY HAD THIS FEELING AS IF THE BREAKS WERE BEING APPLIED. IT HAS A HILL DECENT BUTTON THAT WOULD COME ON AND I THOUGHT THAT WAS PART OF THE PROBLEM, BUT IT STILL DID IT REGARDLESS. IT'S AS IF THE BREAKS WERE ON AND WERE STUCK. AND EVERY TIME I BROUGHT IT TO LANDROVER THEY SAID THEY COULDN'T FIND A PROBLEM....OF COURSE NOT. AND THEN I HAD IT IN THERE AND THEY SAID THEY HAD A BUNCH OF "STRANGE" CODES POP UP THEY HADN'T SEEN BEFORE SO THEY JUST "WIPED" THEM AS THE MAN SAID. ??? HE DIDN'...

EXTERIOR BRAKE LIGHTS HAVE BEEN REPLACED. ELECTRICAL POWER TO PASSENGER DOOR LOCK SYSTEM HAVE BEEN REPLACED. NOW, AT 70K MILES THE COOLANT LEAKING AND ENGINE KNOCKING.
