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.

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

JAGUAR 2003 TRANSMISSION FAILURE NEARLY CAUSES FATAL ACCIDENT ON HIGHWAY IN GA. DEALER DENIES RECALL # XT307 S941, WILL NOT FIX, SEE HTTP://WWW.ARFC.ORG/COMPLAINTS/2002/JAGUAR/X-TYPE/. *TR

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

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

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

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. THE VEHICLE BEGAN DECELERATING ON ITS OWN AND SHE REPEATED THE ACTIONS FROM THE PREVIOUS FAILURE; HOWEVER, THE GEAR BOX FAULT INDICATOR WOULD NOT STOP ILLUMINATING. APPROXIMATELY TWO MINUTES LATER, WHILE DRIVING 25 MPH, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. THE VEHICLE WAS PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND TOWED TO THE DEALER. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE FIFTH GEAR SHAFT AND TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND INFORMED HER THAT THEY WERE NOT LIABLE FOR THE REPAIRS. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 60,589.

TRANSMISSION WAS SLIPPING DURING FIRST, I WAS TOLD IT WAS ADJUSTED. TRANSMISSION FAILURE AT 40,000 MILES. *TR
