Problems with 2003 Land Rover Freelander STRUCTURE

1.coolant system:strong antifreeze odor in vehicle cabin - replaced coolant reservoir;replaced coolant reservoir cap; thermostat housing failure; replaced all coolant lines and hoses as preventative measure; heater core failure - leaked anti freeze into heater chamber 2.transmission system (1 of 3): code f4 appeared on odometer; hill decent fault light illuminated; traction control light illuminated; brake anti block light illuminated; transmission (while in automatic d) will not downshift past 2. transmission will not upshift beyond 3; manually shifting down to 1, transmission experiences harsh shifting accompanied by loud clunking sound shifting from 1 to 2; will not manually shift beyond 3. 3.intake manifold and induction system: vehicle reverted to creep' mode and would not travel beyond 5 mph; towed vehicle to residence; discovered intake manifold butterfly valves were disconnected from actuation rod - replaced intake manifold 4.fuel system:vehicle lost all power while traveling at high speed on freeway - replaced fuel pump 5. sunroof, windows, and doors: sunroof will not close replace sunroof actuation mechanism 3 times; power window regulator fail on: left front (2 times); right front; left rear; right rear (3 times); rear door (2 times): 5.warning and caution system: check engine light illuminates then extinguishes, then illuminates and stays illuminated (multiple repeat discrepancy and ongoing): purchased obdm ii code scanner/reader: most common fault left #2 bank too lean; misfire detected on #2 or #1 spark plug - replaced all 6 spark coils; '

Flapping sound constantly coming from engine that requires complete replacement of the intake manifold to repair. transmission is slipping ,shifting hard and vibrating heavily under acceleration. tail light went out and turn signal switch needed to be replaced. window regulators have gone out and needed to be replaced in passenger , behind driver's door and rear cargo areas. *tr

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! *tr

2003 land rover freelander would not accelerate and lost power. vehicle wouldn't start. upon inspection mechanic determined the bolt that holds the upper cam started to back out. *kb the engine blew at 56869 miles. the dealer recommended that the consumer replace the entire engine. the vehicle was out of warranty therefore the consumer was going to be responsible for the repairs. *nm
