2002 Jaguar X-Type Complaint Log

I WAS TRAVELING SB I25 MILE MARKER 251 ON7/7/17 AT 13;20. WHEN A 6FT LONG TIRE DEBRE WAS IN THE ROAD AND GOT HIT BY TRUCK AND THROWN INTO MY RADIATOR AND DAMAGED THE FRONT END OF MY VEHICLE. WHEN I TALK TO CHP HE HAD AN EARLIER REPORT OF THIS YET IT WAS IN THE ROAD WHEN I ENTERED ONTO WHAT I BELIEVED WAS A SAFE HIGHWAY. I HAVE THE REQUIRED LIABILITY INSURANCE, THIS IS NOT COVERED. THE TRUCKING CO SAYS THEY ARENT LIABLE SO THE ONLY OTHER LIABILITY IS CDOT SINCE THE ROAD WASN'T SAFE.

"TAKATA RECALL, IS THERE A REASON TO REPLACE THE AIR BAGS? I WOULD SERIOUSLY LIKE TO KNOW!

CPSC: 2002 JAGUAR X-TYPE : CONSUMER STATED HE ORDERED A BLUE DEVIL RADIATOR/BLOCK SEALANT FOR A SMALL LEAK COOLANT, BUT THE SEALANT WAS DEEMED DEFECTIVE ONCE IT HAD ADDED TO THE RADIATOR. IT CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO OVERHEAT AND THE FANS TO RUN HIGH. *SS THE CONSUMER WAS INFORMED THE HEAD GASKET NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. *JB

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 JAGUAR X- TYPE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE ATTEMPTING TO SHIFT INTO ANY GEAR, THE KEY FELL FROM THE IGNITION. THE FAILURE WAS SPORADICALLY RECURRING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER, WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE GEAR BOX NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS TO BE REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 63000.

WHEN DRIVING THE ENGINE WILL SHUT-OFF WITHOUT ANY WARNING WITH LOSS OF POWER STEERING. WILL NOT RESTART. THIS HAS HAPPENED THREE TIMES - THE FIRST TIME WAS AROUND SEPT. 13. CAR HAS BEEN TOWED THREE TIMES. I WAS TOLD THE COMPUTER BOX WAS "FILLED WITH ABOUT A 100 CODES AND WERE ERASED AND THE CAR SHOULD BE FINE". THE MECHANIC HAS EXTENSIVE JAGUAR EXPERIENCE. I HAVE ONLY DRIVEN THIS CAR ABOUT 100 MILES SINCE THE FIRST INCIDENT TO THE PRESENT DATE. (I WAS AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS CAR MUCH BECAUSE I DO NOT KNOW WHEN THE PROBLEM WILL OCCUR). ON 4-21-04 THE PROBLEM OCCURRED AGAIN AND I WAS UNABLE TO STEER THE VEHICLE (AT A PEDESTRIAN INDUSTRIAL INTERSECTION) AND MY FAMILY WAS IN THE CAR. I RESEARCHED THE INTERNET AND THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE 2002 JAGUAR X-TYPE. THIS CAR IS DANGEROUS TO DRIVE AND A DANGER TO THE PUBLIC, MYSELF AND TO MY FAMILY. I HAVE OWNED THIS CAR SINCE NEW AND NEVER ABUSED. IT NEEDS TO BE RECALLED AND THE PROBLEM FIXED BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED! UPDATED 05/20/14 UPDATED 06/19/14

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 JAGUAR X-TYPE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE PARKING, THERE WAS A LOUD EXPLOSIVE NOISE HEARD AS THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY ACCELERATED. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE CHECK ENGINE AND THE GEARBOX WARNING LIGHTS WERE ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE POWER TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 74,000. *TR

A-FRAME AND FRONT CORNER PANELS ARE RUSTING OUT DUE TO A DESIGN FLAW. JAGUAR REFUSES TO FIX THIS ISSUE. WITH A RUSTED OUT A-FRAME IT MAKES THE CAR EXTREMELY WEAK AND IF IN A CRASH THE CAR WILL CRUMBLE. MAJOR ISSUE, PLEASE HELP. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 JAGUAR X-TYPE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE KEY WAS WORN AND WAS UNABLE TO START THE VEHICLE.

THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED BUT PROVIDED NO ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 95,000.

THE ENGINE WOULD QUIT RUNNING, USUALLY WHEN TURNING RIGHT AND USUALLY WHILE BOUNCING OVER A BUMP. THE CAR WOULD SOMETIMES SHOW CODES RELATING TO THE TRANSMISSION, CYLINDER MISFIRING, OR THE SECURITY SYSTEM FAILING. SOMETIMES NO CODES AT ALL WOULD BE STORED, AND SOMETIMES THE CAR WOULD START BACK UP ON ITS OWN AFTER A BRIEF MOMENT. OTHER TIMES IT WAS UN-DRIVABLE. THE UNDERLYING ISSUE TURNED OUT TO BE THE POSITIVE BATTERY CABLE SUPPLYING THE FUSE BOX WAS RUBBING AGAINST A TRANSMISSION MOUNT BOLT HEAD AND GROUNDING OUT. *TR

DESIGN FLAW IN INNER AND OUTER ROCKER PANELS LEAD TO RUST THROUGH OF UNI-BODY. BY THE TIME OWNER SEES FIRST INDICATION OF RUST, UNI-BODY IS ALMOST COMPLETELY GONE. COMPONENTS RUST FROM THE INSIDE OUT. IT SEEMS THAT JAGUAR HAS CORRECTED THIS DESIGN FLAW ON 07 AND NEWER MODELS. IN AN ACCIDENT THERE WOULD BE NO STRENGTH IN UNI-BODY, NO ENERGY ABSORPTION, AND CAR COULD LITERALLY BE "CUT IN HALF". *TR

I WAS STOPPED IN FRONT OF MY GARAGE, WAITING FOR THE DOOR TO OPEN, WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE PEDAL, WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE ENGINE BEGAN TO SPEED UP AND BRAKE PRESSURE FAILED TO STOP THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE STRUCK THE PARTIALLY OPEN DOOR, THEN SMASHED IN TO CABINETS IN THE REAR OF THE GARAGE. DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE AND THE GARAGE WAS SEVERE. THERE CAR SUFFERED DAMAGE TO THE FRONT BUMPER, THE HOOD AND SCRATCHED THE WINDSHIELD AND ROOF. I WAS NOT INJURED, BUT BADLY SHAKEN BY THE INCIDENT. THE VEHICLE HAS ABOUT 60,000 MILES. I SEE IN YOUR COMPLAINT REPORTS THAT THIS HAS OCCURRED SEVERAL TIMES PREVIOUSLY TO THE SAME MODEL AND YEAR JAGUAR. THE CAR HAS YET TO BE REPAIRED. *TR

2002 JAGUAR X-TYPE. FRONT INNER STRUCTURE AROUND A PILLAR AND CONNECTION TO ROCKER PANELS IS RUSTING BADLY AT A CRUCIAL STRUCTURE POINT. STARTED NOTICING IN 2010,WITH COMPLETE ISSUE THIS YEAR. REPLACEMENT PANEL HAS DRAIN BUILT IN VS. ORIGINAL WITH NO WAY TO FRAIN MOISTURE FROM INNER ROCKER. *TT

NOTED A METAL FATIGUE VERTICAL SEPARATION IN THE RIGHT REAR TRAILING ARM OF THE REAR SUSPENSION APPROXIMATELY 4 IN LONG. NO DAMAGE TO THE LINK IS NOTED AND APPEARS TO BE A STRESS FRACTURE. COMPLETE FRACTURE OF THE LINK COULD OCCUR AT SPEED IF A ROAD HAZARD, I.E. POTHOLE OR ROUGH ROAD SURFACE IS ENCOUNTERED CAUSING THE REAR WHEEL TO POSSIBLY SEPARATE FROM THE VEHICLE. MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED DIRECTLY BUT WAS TOLD TO TAKE IT TO A DEALER PHOTOS ARE AVAILABLE AND CAR CAN BE MADE AVAILABLE FOR INSPECTION. *TR

RIGHT FRONT AXLE BROKE WHILE DRIVING! THANK GOD I WAS GOING BELOW 5 MILES IN THE SHOPPING CENTER PARKING LOT. HOW COULD THIS HAVE HAPPEN. IT WAS JUST 2 MONTHS AGO I HAD NEW BRAKES AND WHEEL BEARINGS PUT ON THE CAR AND THE AUTOMOTIVE PLACE SAID MY CAR WAS SAFE TO DRIVE. *TR

1. THIS IS MY 3RD SUA. SEE 10320564 FOR 1ST 2. TRIP COMPONENTS: COUNTRY ROADS, A FERRY, CITY STREETS, AND FWY FOR APPROX. 40 MILES. THE INCIDENT OCCURRED AFTER 10 MILES OF FWY AND DURING APPROX. 1.5 MILES OF CITY STREETS. 2. I TURNED ONTO A SEMI-STEEP ST. APPROACHING A MALL. THE 2ND LIGHT BEFORE THE MALL CHANGED AND I WAS GOING FAST ENOUGH TO DOWNSHIFT TO AID BRAKING. I WAS THE 3RD CAR FROM THE LIGHT IN THE LEFT LANE. I HAD SHIFTED TO DRIVE AFTER STOPPING, MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE AS I WAITED. THE LIGHT CHANGED AND AS THE CAR AHEAD BEGAN TO MOVE AND WHEN THERE WAS ROOM, I MOVED MY FOOT FROM BRAKE TO THROTTLE. I THINK THAT I APPLIED SOME PRESSURE AFTER ENGINE AND SLOPE GOT IT MOVING. AS IT BEGAN ROLLING, I FELT WHAT I THOUGHT WAS A SHIFT. THE CAR BEGAN GOING FASTER AND FASTER BY ITSELF SO I MOVED MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE. CAR DIDN'T WANT TO STOP SO I PUT IT IN NEUTRAL AND IT STOPPED [NO ENGINE ROAR DURING THIS AS IN PRIOR SUA'S.] AFTER STOPPING, THE ENGINE IDLED DOWN QUICKLY. BECAUSE OF TRAFFIC I DID NOT TAKE THE TIME TO KILL IGNITION. IT RAN OK SO I PROCEEDED TO RUN MY MALL ERRAND AND THEN TOOK IT TO JAGUAR. 3. THIS WAS A THURS. AND WE HAD A 2500 MI. TRIP SCHEDULED FOR THE FOLLOWING WED. ON MON. SERVICE ADVISOR TOLD ME THAT THERE WERE 2 XMISSION FAULTS THEY WERE INVESTIGATING, BUT THAT I MIGHT BE ABLE TO GET THE CAR TUES. I WENT IN EARLY AND WENT FOR A TEST DRIVE WITH A TECH WITH NO SUA. HE TALKED ABOUT THE XMISSION FAULTS AND SAID THAT 1 WAS A SENSOR AT THE GEAR SHIFT AND THE 2ND A SENSOR UP FORWARD WHICH MIGHT REFLECT A SHIFTING THAT CAUSED THE ENGINE TO THINK IT NEEDED GAS (I'M NOT TECHNICAL). MORE REVIEW WAS NEEDED SO WE HAD TO RENT A CAR FOR THE TRIP. THIS WK I WAS TOLD THAT BECAUSE THERE WERE NO FAULTS [WAS 2], AND AFTER A REVIEW OF ALL THE DOCUMENTATION AND DATA FROM ALL 3 SUA'S WHICH WERE ALL UNVERIFIED [WAS 2], THAT THERE ARE "NO CONCERNS" AND THAT THE CAR IS SAFE TO DRIVE. AND I WILL BE BILLED FOR $379 PLUS GAS. *TR

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FAILURE.. EVERY 20,000 MILES TRANS FALLS APART. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 JAGUAR X-TYPE. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 20-25 MPH, THE FUEL LEVEL INDICATOR FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A LOCAL REPAIR FACILITY WHERE IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE FUEL SENDING UNIT HAD FAILED AND THE FUEL GAUGE WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. IN ADDITION, WHEN ACTIVATING THE AIR CONDITIONER, THE ENGINE MOUNT WARNING LIGHT WOULD INTERMITTENTLY ILLUMINATE ON THE WARNING PANEL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR THE FAILURE. THE VINE WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 110,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 130,000.

2002 X-TYPE JAGUAR 2.5 WAS RECENTLY REPAIRED DUE TO MALFUNCTIONS ASSOCIATED WITH FORDS 2002 JAGUAR GEAR BOX, TRANSMISSION, HEATER CORE, CYLINDER HEADS ALL NEEDED TO BE SERVICED. THE 2002 JAGUAR SEEMS TO BE A LEMON STRAIGHT FROM THE FACTORIES THAT THIS CAR WAS MANUFACTURED. WOULD LIKE SOME ACKNOWLEDGEMENT AND ANSWERS TO BE ADDRESSED BY FORD. *TR

I PURCHASED MY 2002 JAGUAR X-TYPE IN APRIL 2002 NEW. IT HAD SURGES, AND STALLS. I ASKED THE SERVICE DEPT TO ADD REMARKS, IT ONCE STOPPED IN THE HIGHWAY RIGHT IN FRONT OF A SEMI TRUCK, WITH NO WARNING. THIS WAS VERY SHORTLY AFTER I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. SINCE I CASHED IN MY COMPANY 401K AND PAID CASH FOR THE CAR, I KEPT TRYING TO DRIVE IT AND DEAL WITH THE PROBLEMS, AND IT HAS HAD VERY MANY. NOW AT JUST OVER 59,000 MILES I HAVE BEEN TOLD IT NEEDS A NEW TRANSMISSION, WATER PUMP, VACUUM LEAKS ON THE ENGINE, AND SO ON. THE ESTIMATE FOR REPAIRS IS APPROXIMATELY THE CAR'S TOTAL BLUE BOOK VALUE. AGAIN, JUST AS I PULLED OUT INTO TRAFFIC, GEARBOX FAULT ERROR CAME ON, AND THE CAR WOULD BARELY CRAWL OUT OF THE WAY OF INCOMING CARS. IS THERE ANYTHING YOU CAN DO TO ASSIST? BASED ON NUMEROUS SEARCHES, JAGUAR SHOULD HAVE RECALLED THIS VEHICLE. IT HAS A TERRIBLE SAFETY HISTORY. I AM A SINGLE PARENT WITH A SON IN COLLEGE AND NOW FACE ADDING TO OUR HOME MORTGAGE JUST TO REPAIR THE CAR. I WOULD TAKE FULL RESPONSIBILITY FOR MAKING AN UNWISE PURCHASE, HOWEVER, JAGUAR KNOWS FULLY THIS VEHICLE IS EXTREMELY DEFECTIVE. THANK YOU VERY MUCH VEHICLE CURRENTLY LOCATED AT LEITH INC. 700 AUTOPARK BLVD CARY, NC 27511 919 469-2699. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 JAGUAR XTYPE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE TRANSMISSION FAILED. THE CONTACT HAS NO KNOWLEDGE AS TO HOW THE FAILURE OCCURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO STATED THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEED TO BE REPLACED FOR $8,000. THE MANUFACTURE WAS CALLED AND ALSO STATED THAT THERE WERE NO WARRANTIES OR RELATED RECALLS. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 65,000.

THE TRANSMISSION OF MY JAGUAR 2002, 3.0L DOHC24 VALVE V6 ENGINE, MODEL, 2002 X-TYPE, SERIAL NUMBER, WENT BUST AND NEEDED A NEW TRANSMISSION. THE CAR WAS DRIVEN ONLY FOR ABOUT 25,000 MILES. THIS TYPE OF CAR WAS REPORTED TO NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION ON FEBRUARY 2, 2008 FOR TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS, THE JAGUAR DEALER REFUSED TO REPAIR MY CAR. THUS, SINCE IT HAS COST ABOUT $3,000 TO REPAIR THE CAR, I REQUEST THAT YOU OFFICE HELP ME TO GET A REFUND. *TR

MY CAR IS A 2002 JAGUAR X-TYPE. MY TRANSMISSION WENT COMPLETELY OUT FRIDAY MORNING. LUCKILY, I WAS ABLE TO MOVE IT TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WITHOUT BEING INJURED. MY CAR ONLY HAS 60,589 MILES ON IT?! WHAT CARS TRANSMISSION GIVES OUT AT SUCH LOW MILEAGE? NOT FORGETTING THE EXPENSE TO REPLACE IT. THE ECONOMY RIGHT NOW IS NOT THE BEST AND 1 CAR FOR TWO WORKING INDIVIDUALS IS NOT AN OPTION...CAN YOU HELP US? I WANT JAGUAR TO PAY THIS. I DID NOT PURCHASE AN EXTENDED WARRANTY BECAUSE WITH ALL MY OTHER CARS I HAVE NEVER NEEDED TO. I TAKE GOOD CARE OF MY CARS WITH OIL CHANGES, FLUIDS TOPPED OFF, NEW BRAKES AND TIRES WHEN NEEDED??!! JAGUAR WANTS TO CHARGE ME $7,100 TO REPLACE THIS. I FOUND A MECHANIC TO PUT A USED ONE IN WITH 43,000 MILES ON IT FOR HALF THAT BUT WHAT GUARANTEES DO I HAVE THAT ONE WILL NOT GIVE OUT? THIS IS SUPPOSED TO BE A LUXURY CAR???? THANKS FOR YOUR TIME AND I LOOK FORWARD TO HEARING FROM YOU. *TR

WE RECENTLY TOOK OUR 2002 JAGUAR X-TYPE TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION AFTER THE TRANSMISSION SEEMED TO BE SLIPPING DURING ACCELERATION. THE DEALER RECOMMENDED REPLACEMENT OF THE TRANSMISSION AND SHIFTER - A $6500 REPAIR. AFTER SOME RESEARCH WE LOCATED NHTSA SERVICE BULLETIN 10012396. JAGUAR TECHNICAL BULLETIN JATCO JF506E - SERVICE ACTION S941, WHICH ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THE OUR TRANSMISSION WAS FAULTY FROM THE OUTSET. OUR VIN NUMBER AND OUR TRANSMISSION SERIAL NUMBER FALL WITHIN THE RANGE LISTED IN THE BULLETIN AND SHOULD BE REPLACED BY THE DEALER. JAGUAR IS REFUSING TO REPLACE THE PART, ALTHOUGH THEY KNOW IT IS FAULTY. THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM. PLEASE TAKE A LOOK AT THESE COMPLAINTS. IT'S TIME FOR JAGUAR TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS ISSUE. *TR

OUR CAR SIMPLY STOPPED ON MY WIFE WHILE SHE WAS DRIVING IT. IT SLOWED DOWN UNTIL IT HALTED TO A COMPLETE STOP WHILE SHE WAS DRIVING ON A MAJOR INTERSTATE. WE HAD THE CAR TOWED TO A REPAIR SHOP ONLY TO LEARN THAT THE ENGINE HAS A HOLE IN IT. THE REPAIRMAN STATED THAT HE WAS SURPRISED AT THE HOLE IN THE ENGINE BECAUSE THE OIL WAS FULL AND THAT NOTHING LEADING TO THE ENGINE WAS BUSTED. THERE IS NO LEAKAGE ANYWHERE. WE DO NOT HAVE ANY OIL SPOTS IN OUR GARAGE FROM WHERE THE CAR WAS LEAKING OIL. WE CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP IN MONTGOMERY, ALABAMA WHERE WE PURCHASED THE CAR. ONE OF THEIR REPRESENTATIVES INFORMED ME THAT WE NEEDED TO PURSUE OTHER MEANS BECAUSE THEY WERE NOT INTERESTED IN HELPING US TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE. *TR

I WAS TRAVELING AT 75MPG NORTH FROM ATLANTA ENTERING KNOXVILLE TENNESSE AT 23:00 WHEN I TURNED ON THE CRUISE CONTROL. THE ENGINE INSTANTLY SHUT DOWN WITHOUT WARNING. LUCKILY TRAFFIC WAS LIGHT AT THAT TIME OF THE EVENING AND I WAS ABLE TO COAST WITH THE GEAR IN NEUTRAL TO THE NEAREST EXIT RAMP. I REMOVED THE KEY FROM THE IGNITION AND RESTARTED THE CAR EASILY. I WAS ABLE TO COMPLETE MY TRIP BACK TO CLEVELAND, OHIO WITHOUT THE USE OF THE CRUISE CONTROL. IT;S BEEN OVER A YEAR SINCE THE INCIDENT AND THE CAR RUNS FINE. SINCE THE INCIDENT, I HAVE NEVER NOR WILL I EVER USE THE CRUISE CONTROL AGAIN. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 JAGUAR X-TYPE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE PARKING BRAKE ON HER VEHICLE WOULD HAVE TO BE PULLED UP PROGRESSIVELY HIGHER TO HOLD THE VEHICLE WHILE IN NEUTRAL. AT A CERTAIN POINT, SHE WOULD HAVE TO SHIFT INTO FIRST GEAR BECAUSE IT WOULD HOLD THE VEHICLE WHILE PARKED. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE REPAIR SHOP AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE PARKING BRAKE NEEDED TO BE ADJUSTED. THE REPAIR WAS MADE, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. SHE WAS INFORMED THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE VEHICLE IN RELATION TO NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 04V487000 (PARKING BRAKE). THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 62,416 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 57,000. UPDATED 09/25/08 *BF UPDATED 09/25/08. *JB

I JUST BOUGHT A 2002 JAGUAR X-TYPE FROM THE WOODBRIDGE AUTO AUCTION IN VIRGINIA TWO DAYS AGO. THE TRANSMISSION IS GIVING ME PROBLEMS AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. I LOOKED ON-LINE FOR CONSUMER COMPLAINTS REGARDING THE JAGUAR'S TRANSMISSION AND THERE ARE PLENTY. JAGUAR SHOULD RECALL THESE CARS AND REPLACE THE TRANSMISSIONS. THE JAPANESE MANUFACTURER CURRENTLY MAKING THE TRANSMISSIONS FOR JAGUAR ARE MAKING UNSAFE TRANSMISSIONS. ITS TIME FOR JAGUAR TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR PRODUCT AND RECALL THESE CALLS AND REPLACE THESE TRANSMISSIONS. *TR

I TREATED MYSELF TO THIS VEHICLE AFTER SUFFERING FROM BRAIN CANCER FOR 5 YEARS BUT AFTER THE EXPERIENCE I HAVE HAD WITH MY 2002 X TYPE I'M NOT SURE IF IT WAS A TREAT OR A MISTAKE. I HAVE HAD MANY PROBLEMS SUCH AS ENGINE COOLANT SENSOR, O2 SENSOR, INTAKE MANIFOLD, GEAR SHIFT ( MANUAL) IS ROUGH, DRIVERS SIDE DOOR STICKS AND WONT OPEN ( EMBARRASSING ) AT FIRST I FELT LIKE A QUEEN IN MY CAR BUT NOW ITS MORE HUMILIATING THAN ANYTHING. I BROKE DOWN ON THE HGWY, GOT MADE FUN OF FOR MY EXPENSIVE VEHICLE BEING ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ALWAYS ON. AND I DON'T HAVE TIME IN LIFE TO GET TO ENJOY THIS CAR SINCE IT IS IN THE SHOP SO MUCH :( *TR

1. VEHICLE WAS BEING DRIVEN ON A 30 MILE TRIP TO RUN ERRANDS. CRUISE CONTROL WAS USED DURING THE FIRST 2 SEGMENTS OF THE TRIP BUT NOT THEREAFTER. AFTER THREE OR FOUR ERRANDS AND DINNER WE PROCEEDED TO A SMALLER MALL WHERE THE ENGINE WAS STOPPED WITH IGNITION IN RADIO MODE WHILE THE WIFE WENT INTO A STORE FOR A FEW MINUTES. 2.AFTER SHE RETURNED I STARTED UP, BACKED OUT, AND PROCEEDED FORWARD APPROXIMATELY 75' TO A LEFT TURN ONTO THE MALL EXIT ROAD WITH APPROXIMATELY 100' LEFT TO THE STOP SIGN AT THE CROSSING STREET. I ACCELERATED FROM THE TURN AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THE ENGINE ROARED AND WE SHOT AHEAD. I JAMMED ON THE BRAKE AS HARD AS I COULD, BUT WE KEPT ACCELERATING. I THEN SHIFTED INTO NEUTRAL AND STOPPED WITH THE NOSE OF THE CAR JUST PAST THE STOP SIGN. THE ENGINE WAS STILL ROARING SO I TURNED THE IGNITION OFF. AT THAT POINT TWO CARS CROSSED IN FRONT OF US. THIS WAS THE SECOND INCIDENCE OF UNINTENDED ACCELERATION. THE FIRST, 100K MILES EARLIER WAS SIMILAR WITH THE ONLY DIFFERENCE BEING THAT THE CAR WAS PARALLEL PARKED AND IT TOOK OFF ALMOST IMMEDIATELY AFTER I PUT IT IN DRIVE AND MY FOOT WAS STILL ON THE BRAKE. THERE WAS ENOUGH ROOM THAT I WAS ABLE TO SUCCESSFULLY STOP IT AS ABOVE WITH NO ACCIDENT. 3. IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE 1ST INCIDENT JAGUAR PERFORMED AN ECM REFLASH AS PER JAGUAR TECH LINE ADVISORY, CHECKED ALL CABLE LINKAGE AND THROTTLE BODY. AFTER THE CURRENT INCIDENT JAGUAR SCANNED FOR CODES, FOUND NONE FOR THE THROTTLE BODY, BUT FOUND 3 CODES FOR MISFIRES, 2 FOR TRANSMISSION, AND 3 FOR BRAKE SWITCH. THEY CLEARED CODES, DROVE CAR AND WERE UNABLE TO VERIFY CONCERN. THEY FURTHER WERE DIRECTED BY TECHLINE TO DO A VEHICLE SCAN, FLIGHT RECORDER DATA, AND VEHICLE SESSIONS. ALL THE DATA WAS SENT TO THE UK FOR INVESTIGATION. THIS PAST WEEKEND WHILE WAITING ON THE UK THEY DROVE IT SOME MORE. I WAS INFORMED VERBALLY YESTERDAY THAT WE COULD HAVE THE CAR BACK NEXT WEEK WHEN WE RETURNED FROM VACATION. THAT THE CAR WAS "SAFE" AND "GOOD TO GO." *TR

JATCO JF506E TRANSMISSION IS A KNOWN DEFECTIVE ISSUE WITH A ROTOR OR PLATE THAT CRACKS AND RUINS THE WHOLE TRANSMISSION COSTING THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS. THERE WAS A NOTICEABLE SLIP OCCURRING INTERMITTENTLY AND HAS CAUSED A FAILURE. JAGUAR NEVER WARNED IT'S CUSTOMERS OF THIS ISSUE WHEN THEY FOUND OUT 4 YEARS AGO OR MORE NEVER CALLING FOR A RECALL. THERE HAS BEEN THOUSANDS OF REPORTS ON THIS ISSUE AND IS VERY HAZARDOUS TO THE CONSUMER. WHEN DRIVING IT CAN SLIP NOT GO INTO GEAR AND CAUSE A MAJOR ACCIDENT. THERE ARE THREE COMPONENTS TO THE JAGUAR 2002 X-TYPE WHICH IS EUROPEAN, AMERICAN, AND JAPANESE PARTS. THIS I ASKED THE DEALER TO SPECIFICALLY TELL ME IF THE PARTS WERE EUROPEAN AND HE EXPLAINED THIS ARE ALL FORD PARTS SO IT WON'T COST THAT MUCH TO FIX THINGS. A BLATANT LIE WHICH WAS SOLD TO THE MASSES, VERY DISTURBING THAT THEY KNEW OF THIS ISSUE WITH A PLATE WHICH CRACKS AFTER OVERHEATED AND CAUSES THE TRANSMISSION TO SLIP AND FAIL. THE JATCO JF506E IS A MAZDA PART IN A JAGUAR WHICH IS VERY STRANGE AND CONFUSING LET ALONE VERY DANGEROUS. IT STALLED OUT AND SLIPPED THE OTHER DAY ALMOST RESULTING INTO A VERY SERIOUS ACCIDENT AND WHEN I READ ABOUT THE ISSUES AND THE COMPLAINTS BY HUNDREDS IF NOT THOUSANDS, THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL BY JAGUAR. WHEN I TOLD THEM THAT I NOTICED A PROBLEM WITH THE SHIFTING, THEY SAID IT WAS NORMAL. THEY KNEW EXACTLY WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS AND WAITED TILL EVERYONE WAS OUT OF A WARRANTY SO THEY WOULDN'T HAVE TO FIX IT OR DEAL WITH THE ISSUES WHICH ARE LIFE THREATENING. *TR

1.5 YRS WITH GEAR BOX FAULT/ABS BRAKE LIGHTS & CHECK ENGINE-CAR CONSTANTLY SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING VERY DANGEROUS. CODE THAT CAME UP CATALYTIC CONVERTER, ON THE JAGUAR X-TYPE 02. DEALER WON'T HONOR THE 8 YRS. CHANGE ALL THE SENSORS INCLUDING BRAKES, HAD THE TRANSMISSION REBUILT AND FIXED THE 2 LEAKS, GOT A FULL TUNE UP, EVERYTHING WAS OK FOR 4DAY BEFORE ALL THE LIGHTS CAME UP AGAIN. STILL SAME PROBLEMS CONT... SAT. I HIT A POT HOLE WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT. THE CARE WENT DEAD. GOT IT START MOMENTS LATER BUT CAR LIGHTS WOULD NOT COME BACK ON AND TRANSMISSION WOULD NOT OPERATION EXCEPT IN REVERSE.... I CAN NOT DRIVE AT NIGHT BECAUSE THE CAR HEAD LIGHTS SHUTS DOWN THE CAR WHENEVER I TURN IT ON. THIS CARS SPENDS MORE TIME IN THE SHOP THAN THE ROAD. HELP WHAT DO I DO? I FINANCED THIS CAR AND I'M CONSTANTLY SPENDING, AND SPENDING TO STAY UP BUT I AM SLOWLY LOOSING THIS BATTLE. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 JAGUAR X-TYPE. WHILE ACCELERATING FROM 25 TO 70 MPH, THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE GEAR BOX FAULT INDICATOR BEGAN ILLUMINATING ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. SHE THEN HEARD A GRINDING NOISE, WHICH CAUSED HER TO STOP AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT AND TURN OFF THE VEHICLE. WHEN SHE RESTARTED THE VEHICLE, THE GEAR BOX FAULT INDICATOR STOPPED ILLUMINATING AND THE GRINDING NOISE CEASED. SHE CONTINUED TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE THROUGHOUT THE DAY AND RETURNED TO HER RESIDENCE. FOUR DAYS LATER, THE WARNING INDICATOR AND GRINDING NOISE FAILURES RECURRED.

I WOULD LIKE TO POST A SIMILAR COMPLAINT TO NOTIFY OTHER CONSUMERS WHO OWNS A JAGUAR X-TYPE 2002. IN AUGUST 29 2007, ON MY WAY TO WORK THE CAR WOULDN'T ACCELERATE MORE THAT 30 MILES PER HOUR. I DROVE BACK HOME AND I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO THE NEAREST JAGUAR DEALERSHIP. I HAD TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION FOR A COST OF $5,400 WITH 59,000 MILES. THE FIRST 4 YEARS, I MADE SEVERAL VISITS TO THE DEALER TO FIX AN ENGINE LIGHT PROBLEM, FUEL LEAK, REPORTED A SQUEAKY SOUND COMING FROM THE BRAKES (@ 10,000 MILES JAGUAR TOLD ME I NEEDED NEW BRAKES PADS FOR A COST $1,200,). THE RADIO SPEAKERS STOPPED WORKING AND I WAS TOLD IT WAS NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR AND IT WILL COST ME $ 900 TO FIX IT. *JB

IN MARCH OF THIS YEAR I BOUGHT A 2002 JAGUAR X-TYPE 3.0 SPORT WITH ONLY 40,123 MILES ON IT. SINCE THEN I HAVE ONLY PUT ON SIX THOUSAND MILES. JUST LAST WEEK MY TRANSMISSION SUDDENLY WENT INTO HIGH REVS ON UPSHIFTS AND SEVER JERKS AND THEN FAILURE. ALL IN ONE DAY WITH NO WARNING AT ALL. THE VEHICLE HAS EXPIRED ITS FACTORY WARRANTY ONLY BY TIME AND NOT MILEAGE. I FIND THIS UNACCEPTABLE, ESPECIALLY AT THE RESPONSE OF, THAT WILL COST ABOUT $7,000 TO FIX. THAT'S HALF THE VALUE OF THE CAR! I HAVE CONTACTED JAGUARS' USA CUSTOMER SERVICE CENTER IN NJ THREE TIMES AND THEY WILL NOT STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT AND WILL NOT OFFER ANY ASSISTANCE WHAT SO EVER. I BASICALLY GOT A, SORRY, AND SUCH IS LIFE RESPONSE. I AM CURRENTLY WAITING TO SPEAK WITH A SUPERVISOR. I HAVE BEEN SEARCHING THE INTERNET AND HAVE FOUND NUMEROUS REVIEWS AND COMMENTS OF EXACTLY THE SAME PROBLEM, THE TRANSMISSION FAILURE. SOME HAVE COMMENTED ON FAILURE AT 15,000 MILES 35,000 MILES 40, AND 50 THOUSAND MILES. THE COMMENTS ARE ALL THE SAME AND NOT HARD TO FIND, I CANNOT UNDERSTAND HOW THIS IS NOT ACKNOWLEDGED AND FIXED. I CANNOT AFFORD TO FIX MY CAR, I HAVE NOTHING ELSE TO DRIVE, AND I WOULD LOSE SO MUCH JUST TO TRADE IT IN ON ANOTHER CAR. I CAN SUPPLY MANY, MANY COMPLAINTS OF THE SAME PROBLEM AT THE DROP OF A HAT. I FEEL LEGAL ACTION IS NECESSARY TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. PLEASE HELP THE HARD WORKING COMMON MAN. *TR

THIS CAR HAS BEEN A DISAPPOINTMENT SINCE DAY ONE. I BOUGHT THIS OFF LEASE FROM BOURNIVAL LINCOLN/MERCURY IN JULY 2005. SINCE THEN...FIRST WAS THE CONSTANT CONDENSATION OF THE WINDOWS...SOMETHING ABOUT HEATER CORE AND SEALS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT KEPT COMING ON, DRIVE 115 MILES TO THE JAG DEALER AND BE TOLD NOTHING IS WRONG ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS. THE SUN ROOM FAILED AND HAD TO BE REPLACED. WHEN THIS HAPPENED THE PASSENGER FRONT SEAT BELT WOULD NO LONGER PULL OUT-COMPLETELY INOPERABLE. NEXT CAM THE CHUGGING, CHUGGING,GO SYNDROME. WS TOLD IT HAD SOMETHING TO DO WITH FUEL SENSORS AND OXYGEN SENSORS. TIRE BLOW OUT ON THE HIGHWAY (WITH KIDS AND MOTHER IN THE CAR). NOW THE BOLTS HOLDING THE STRAPPING TO SECURE THE FUEL TANK FELL OUT. THE DEALER SHIP TELLS ME---NOT FROM RUST---BUT THEY ARE ALLEGING FROM SOME SORT OF VALDALISM--SO I HAVE TO PAY TO HAVE THESE REPLACED. YUP...IT'S BEEN AN EXPENSIVE TWO YEARS....$24,000 FOR THE CAR, TWICE TOWED, WARRANTY COVERED REPAIR EXPENSES +/- $4,000; UNCOVERED REPAIR EXPENSES STILL INCURRING-BUT IT'S OVER $1,500 AT LAST COUNT.. NOT TO MENTION NUMEROUS DRIVES TO JAGUAR DEALERS (THIS MEANS TAKING THE DAY OFF FROM WORK)....WHEN I BOUGHT THE CAR, I PURCHASED A FORD PREMIUM CARE EXTENDED WARRANTY, BECAUSE, AS I WAS INFORMED, "ANY FORD DEALER SHOULD BE ABLE TO HANDLE THE CAR"...UNTRUE. *TR

TO ALL THE CONSUMERS THAT EITHER OWN OR KNOWS SOMEONE WHO OWNS A JAGUAR. I AM PUTTING TOGETHER A COMPLAINT AGAINST THE MANUFACTURER FOR A PROBLEM WITHIN THESE CARS. I, TOO, OWN A 02 JAGUAR X-TYPE AND THIS PAST WEEKEND THE CAR STOPPED WITHOUT ANY WARNING SIGNS. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO A JAGUAR DEALER ON SATURDAY THINKING MAYBE THIS WAS A MINOR PROBLEM, UNTIL I GOT THE CALL THAT THE CAR NEEDED A BRAND NEW TRANSMISSION THAT WILL COST ME OVER $5000. AFTER GOING TO WEBSITES RESEARCHING I CAME ACROSS THAT THERE WERE SO MANY OTHER CONSUMERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM , AND REALIZED THAT THIS MUST BE A MANUFACTURER'S PROBLEM. THE FUNNY THING ABOUT IT WAS THAT WE ALL STARTED OFF SAYING THAT WE BOUGHT A 02 JAGUAR AND AFTER IT REACHED OVER 50,000 MILES THAT A TRANSMISSION WAS REQUIRED ON IT. I CAME TO THE CONCLUSION THAT THE MANUFACTURER KNEW THAT THIS WAS THE REASON FOR THE EXPIRING WARRANTY AT 50,000 MILES. THE REASON NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE ABOUT IT BECAUSE NO ONE HAD EVER CAME FORWARD. THIS IS A TIME THAT WE ALL NEED TO STAND UP AND SPEAK OUT ABOUT WHAT JUST HAPPENED TO US BECAUSE I KNEW SOME OF US, STILL OWNING THESE CARS AND WORD OF MOUTH MEANT EVERYTHING. RIGHT NOW, I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO DO, BUT PRAY AND SPEAK OUT ABOUT IT WHICH MAY NOT GET ME FAR BUT AT LEAST IT GOT ME HEARD. I CALLED THE LOCAL NEWSPAPER ABOUT IT AND LEFT A MESSAGE FOR A RESPONSE. I SUGGESTED THAT OTHERS DO THE SAME AND DON?T LET THIS CONTINUE TO GO ON TO OTHER CONSUMERS. *AK

WENT TO GAS UP MY 2002 JAGUAR X-TYPE 2.5 WHEN TOTALLY EMPTY AND GAS SHOT BACK OUT AND SPILLED ALL OVER THE PLACE. TRIED THREE DIFFERENT GAS STATIONS WITH THE SAME EFFECT. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, INDICATING A PROBLEM WITH THE GAS TANK. I CAN'T GAS MY CAR AND THERE IS THE SAFETY HAZARD OF GAS SHOOTING BACK OUT. DEALER WON'T COVER IT AND THERE ARE NO SECOND HAND PARTS OR INDIVIDUAL PARTS, HAVE TO REPLACE WHOLE GAS TANK AND FILLER SYSTEM COSTING ME $1750. *TR

I HAVE OWNED MY 2002 X-TYPE SINCE APRIL OF 04 AND IT WAS PURCHASED FROM CROWN JAGUAR AS A CERTIFIED PRE-OWNED CAR. LIKE MANY OTHER COMPLIANTS TO THIS SITE AND OTHERS MY TRANSMISSION FAILED WITH 115,000 MILES. WHILE I'M LUCKY COMPARED TO SOME OWNERS I'M STILL AMAZED THAT IT WOULD FAIL SO QUICKLY. THE COST OF THE REPAIR IS 7K. HOPEFULLY SOMEONE WILL LOOK AT THIS PROBLEM BECAUSE A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE GETTING THE SHORT END OF THE STICK WITH JAGUAR. *CN
