The NHTSA is the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints can be spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem. See the Back button — blue bar at the very top of the page — to explore more.
1. the head gasket fails allowing coolant to leak into the crank case, which at highway speeds the motor locks up., which can cause a serious accident 2. when the failure occurs the motor is destroyed, and there are thousands of people with these vehicles with defective motors and Land Rover refuses to do anything if out of warranty. But they are aware of the problem because the new Freelander has a completely different motor design which shows that they were aware of this defect. We need your assistance im making this safety issue a national recall. 3. Land Rover totally refuses to do anything, they say take it to a Land Rover dealership, but it will be all at your expense.
