What owners wrote
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.
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.
