Open the full vehicle complaint log (all categories)JAGUAR S-TYPE. I HAVE HAD THREE WINDOW REGULATORS FAIL (FRONT RIGHT & BOTH REAR) IN LESS THAN 18 MONTHS, WITH THE LAST TWO OCCURRING WITHIN 60 DAYS OF EACH OTHER. IN SEARCHING THE INTERNET, I SEE MANY COMPLAINTS FROM OTHER S-TYPE OWNERS WHO HAVE SIMILAR PROBLEMS ON THIS MASSIVE SCALE. I AM AN ATTORNEY, AND THIS SEEMS TO BE A RECURRING PRODUCT DEFECT SUCH THAT A RECALL SHOULD OCCUR OR, AT A MINIMUM, JAGUAR SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE. IT HAS COST OVER $1200 TO REPLACE THE THREE THUS FAR. *JB
I OWN A 2001 JAGUAR S TYPE. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO LOWER THE LEFT FRONT PASSENGER WINDOW, IT FELL INTO THE DOOR AND WOULD NOT COME OUT (IT IS POWER DRIVEN). I HAD TO DRIVE AROUND FOR 3 DAYS WITH THE WINDOW DOWN. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME IT WAS A BROKEN WINDOW REGULATOR. THEY REPLACED THE REGULATOR SINCE MY VEHICE WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY.
UPON PRESSING THE WINDOW DOWN BUTTON THE WINDOW WOULD MAKE A HIGH PITCHED SCREECHING NOISE, AND UPON ROLLING THE WINDOW DOWN A FEW INCHES ONE FROSTED NIGHT IT MADE A LOUD POPPING NOISE AND REFUSED TO ROLL UP OR DOWN AFTER THAT. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THIS WILL COST NEAR $400 TO FIX, AS THE PART MUST BE ORDERED FROM THE DEALERSHIP (THEY SAY IT'S THE REGULATOR THAT'S OUT)AND IT'S VERY EXPENSIVE,PLUS THE COST OF LABOR.*AK
INTERIOR REAR VIEW MIRROR IS MOUNTED TOO LOW, THE VIEW OF THE ROAD TO THE RIGHT OF THE CENTER IS BLOCKED, CONSUMER STATES THIS PROBLEM ONLY EXISTS ON JAGUARS EQUIPPED WITH RAIN SENSING WINDSHIELD WIPERS, MIRROR IS MOUNTED TO THE WINDSHIELD BASE BY ONLY A SPHERICAL JOINT, THE JOINT PERMITS ANGULAR ADJUSTMENT FOR THE MIRROR TO AIM TO A PARTICULAR FIELD OF VIEW. *SLC
