Engine failure. Coolant leakage. Engine overheating. The inside of my car became so hot my mother who was riding in the passenger seat passed out.

Reported at 80,000 miles, July 2008 Injury

I have a 2002 landrover freelander and recently I ad to put coolant in the car almost every day. The mechanic states it is a very expensive repair job, if the hose can be found and replaced. The car have been inoperable for about 3 weeks now. I love the freelander, but it appear to be very problematic.
