Hey there,
Any 02 freelanders have this same "feature" that my boyfriend has in his freelander. Basically his car has been in the shop 5 different times in the past 4 months for the gas gauge reading incorrectly. What happens is that he will be able to drive on an above full tank for about 80-120 miles then the gas gauge will go down to 1/2 a tank.(its not gradual just from full to 1/2) then it may either bouce to 1/4 of a tank after about 20 more miles or sometimes it will bounce back up to 3/4 of a tank. Land rover dallas states that there is nothing wrong with this.. and that it is a "FEATURE" The gas tank never reads acurately...well it did for the first 12k miles then this started happening. And now they say well its a feature so live with it....I drive his car alot and dont want to be stuck on a dark road out of gas. BUT THEY INSIST THAT THEIR IS NO PROBLEM AND THAT IS A NORMAL THING..just want to know if any ohter of you have this fabulous "feature"
I would think if you paid this much money for a car you coudl get one wiht a working gas gauge. We have even talked to land rover corporate and they were like oh well. deal with it...just bring it back to the shop... and i'm like why they arent doing anythign with it anyways..they even said they replicated the issue..and drove it 120 miles with it on full...but when i got the car back..it only had 19 more miles on it than when i turned it in.
Please email me if you hav this issue or even if you dont..i just want land rover to fix it and they keep saying its a feature so i'm trying to find out if ohters have htis feature..thanks for listenign to my rant...
