2006 Jaguar S-Type Problems

Tune up does not last for more than 1 year. It is completely destroyed even when everything is replaced brand new. It is a huge fire hazard. Everything is cooked like a furnace. Mechanics are not willing to put the effort in doing tune ups and repairs. I do a tune up on the Car once a year. I memorized every mechanical problem on that car, just so I can keep a sharp eye on all the problems.

FOLLOWING WAS SENT TO US CUSTOMS. I'M AT RISK IN THIS CAR, BY JAGUAR DESIGN ERROR-AND REFUSAL TO CORRECT THE ERROR. [XXX] IN MY CASE THE CAR SUDDENLY AND SPONTANEOUSLY, WITHOUT APPARENT REASON, WENT INTO WHAT JAGUAR CALLS 'LIMP HOME' MODE, A WALKING PACE. FORTUNATELY IT HAPPENED ON AN URBAN PARKWAY, POSTED AT 55 MPH, AND I HAD JUST TURNED RIGHT, ON TO IT, INTO THE RIGHT-HAND LANE. THE PROBLEM IS COMMON TO JAGUAR CARS AS SHOWN BY INTERNET POSTINGS. JAGUAR HAVE STATED THAT LIMP HOME CANNOT BE DISABLED BECAUSE IT IS INTENDED FOR THE SAFETY OF THE MECHANICAL PARTS OF THEIR CARS. I HAVE A STRING OF COMMUNICATIONS RUNNING FROM NOVEMBER 2ND THAT I COULD SEND TO PROVIDE GREATER DETAIL, BUT I'D LIKE TO KNOW WHAT YOU FOLKS CAN DO, AND WHETHER THERE ARE GOOD LEGAL GROUND TO SUPPORT MY DEMANDS. I HAVE MADE THIS INITIAL CONTACT WITH US CUSTOMS BECAUSE JAGUAR EXPORTS CARS TO THE US WITH UNSTABLE COMPUTER SYSTEMS COMPROMISING THEIR SAFETY AND I BELIEVE THAT YOU CONNECT WITH NHTSA. BUT MY PROBLEM IS IMMEDIATE AND I'D LIKE SOME ASSURANCE THAT MY CASE WILL BE DEALT WITH QUICKLY, AND THAT I CAN BE IN CONTACT WITH A PERSON THAT I CAN SEND FURTHER MATERIAL TO. ATTACHED IS INITIAL LETTER TO JLR. AT THEIR REQUEST I CONTACTED JLR NORTH AMERICA IN MAH WAH NJ. (JAGUAR LAND ROVER NORTH AMERICA EXECUTIVE CASE: 8000216414 / YOUR 2006 S-TYPE.) THEY SENT ME ON TO LOCAL DEALERS. ALL HAVE STATED THEY WON'T DISABLE THE LIMP HOME MODE BECAUSE IT PROTECTS THE MECHANICAL PARTS OF THE CAR ... (AND PUTS HUMANS AT RISK AS A RESULT). THEY HAVE BEEN AS CAPRICIOUS IN DEALING WITH MY COMPLAINT AS THEY HAVE BEEN WITH THE CARELESS DESIGN OF THEIR LIMP HOME MODE! I THINK JLR HAS FAILED THE U.S. IMPORT REGULATIONS AND WOULD LIKE CBP TO ORDER THEM TO DISABLE THE LIMP HOME MODE.

ON MY 2000 S-TYPE 4.0 I HAVE HAD TWO TRANSMISSIONS REPLACED AND IS IN NEED OF A THIRD. JAGUAR'S POSITION (FROM CORPORATE), THAT IT IS NOT UNUSUAL FOR A TRANSMISSION TO GO UNDER 50,000 MILES, HOWEVER, THEY REFUSE TO PUT IT IN WRITING. THERE ARE PROBABLY HUNDREDS IF NOT THOUSANDS OF OWNERS GOING THROUGH THE SAME PROBLEM. ON EVERY WEBSITE THERE ARE COMPLAINTS ABOUT FAILING TRANSMISSIONS. JAGUAR DEFINITELY IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM BUT OFFERS NO ASSISTANCE. I AM WILLING TO BET THERE IS SOME CORPORATE MEMO REGARDING HOW TO COVER THIS UP. *NM

ON AT LEAST FOUR OCCASIONS, AND UPON STARTING THE VEHICLE, THE ENGINE, AFTER 10 TO 30 SECONDS, RAPIDLY ACCELERATES TO 4,000 - 6,000 RPM. THE ONLY WAY TO RESTRICT THE RAPID ACCELERATION IS TO SHUT THE ENGINE OFF WITH THE IGNITION KEY. *JB

WHEN I BOUGHT THE CAR A WEEK LATER IT BLEW HOT AIR, I WAS TOLD IT ONLY NEEDED FREON. I FOUND OUT LATER THAT THERE WAS A LEAK AND IT IS $1200. A WEEK AFTER THAT THE CAR WOULD NOT START THE DEALER PICKED THE CAR UP AND SAID THAT THE BATTERY WAS DEAD BECAUSE I LEFT THE RADIO ON, IT HAS HAPPENED OVER 30 TIMES, NOT TRUE THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG. I HAVE REPLACED TIRES AT LEAST SIX TIMES. TIRES COMPLETELY SEPARATE. I WAS DRIVING AND CAR SLOWED DOWN ON FREEWAY AND I WAS ALMOST HIT, I PULLED OVER AND IT STOPPED AND DID IT AGAIN AND I HAD TO PUSH THE TRACTION CONTROL BUTTON, ALMOST COST ME MY LIFE! IT NOW HAPPENS WHEN I HIT A BUMP. WHEN I TURN THE CAR MAKES A EXTREMELY LOUD NOISE, (EMBARRASSING) I WAS TOLD IT IS A BALL JOINT AND CAN CATCH ON FIRE. ENGINE LIGHT HAS ALWAYS BEEN ON AND IS NOW BLINKING AND THE CAR SHAKES AND HESITATES. I HAD TO PAY TO GET THE BRAKES FIXED 2 MONTHS AFTER PURCHASING. RADIO TURNS ON FOR NO REASON AND RUNS BATTERY DOWN. I WAS TOLD I HAVE TWO LEAKS IN MY SHOCKS AND IT IS $1800 EACH. WHEN I BACK UP AND TURN THE STEERING WHEEL VIBRATES. I CAN'T EVEN USE THE CIGARETTE LIGHTER TO CHARGE MY CELL BECAUSE IT DOES NOT WORK AND HAS BEEN REPLACED TWICE. THE REMOTE JUST STOP WORKING AND I WAS CHARGED $100 TO RECONFIGURE. THE BRAKES ACT FUNNY, CAN'T EVEN EXPLAIN IT. THIS CAR IS UNREAL, A COMPLETE PIECE OF JUNK. I CAN'T EVEN REMEMBER HALF THE STUFF I HAVE ENDURED AND THE MONEY I HAVE SPENT. *NM

I PURCHASED A S-TYPE JAGUAR 2003 JUNE 11, 2002 FROM PARK PLACE JAGUAR HOUSTON, TEXAS, I TOOK THE CAR IN BEFORE 5,000 MILE CHECK UP AND COMPLAINED ABOUT THE BRAKES, A FEW MONTHS LATER TOOK THE CAR IN FOR 5,000 MILE CHECK UP COMPLAINED ABOUT THE BRAKES WAS TOLD THAT I NEED A MASTER CYLINDER, CAR WAS LEFT WITH THE DEALERSHIP FOR A WEEK. MONTHS LATER THE BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON AND WOULD NOT GO OFF. JAGUAR FROM NATIONAL SENT A WRECKER TO PICK UP THE CAR AND DELIVERED IT TO PARK PLACE JAGUAR FOR REPAIR. THE CAR WAS IN THE SHOP FOR A WEEK AGAIN. HAD A TIRE TO WEAR OUT DUE TO FAULTY BRAKES, STILL NOTHING WAS DONE REGARDING THE BREAKS, I WAS UNDER THE IMPRESSION THAT THE BRAKES HAD BEEN FIXED UNTIL JANUARY 11,2006 WHEN I TOOK THE CAR IN FOR IT'S 30,000 MILES CHECK UP AT 29,415 AND WAS INFORMED BY ZACK ADAMS THE SERVICE ADVISOR THAT I NEEDED NEW BRAKES AND IT WOULD BE $585.36 I THANK GOD THAT ZAG FINALLY SAW THE PROBLEM NEEDED FIXING. FOR THE REPAIR, I HAVE RECEIPTS UPON YOUR REQUEST FOR THE MANY OF TIMES THE BRAKES WERE ADDRESSED FOR THE WARRANTY WAS OVER, IT IS EVIDENCED THAT I WAS SOLD A CAR WITH FAULTY BRAKES. AND JAGUAR FAILED TO PROVIDED ME WITH THE SAFETY OF MY CAR FOR 2 1/2 YEARS. IF I HAD BEEN A DRIVER THAT RODE THE BRAKES CONSTANTLY ON THE HIGHWAY, I WOULD BE A FATALITY PERSON. JAGUAR WAS NEGLIGENT IN REPAIRING MY CAR SAFELY AND REFUSES TO OWN UP TO THEIR FAILURE. ALSO THE POORLY QUALITY OF TIRES THAT I ALSO REPORTED TO THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AND WAS NOT HELPED. I PURCHASED NEW TIRES FROM DISCOUNT SERVICES FOR $539.09. THE CAR WAS NOT SAFE AND A TRAFFIC HAZARD, I CONTACTED THEM SEVERAL TIMES REGARDING ISSUE WITH CAR. IT SHOULD NOT BEEN 2 1/2 YEARS TO GE BREAKS REPAIR WHEN I STARTED COMPLAINING 2 MONTHS AFTER THE PURCHASED OF THE CAR. *JB

I HAVE A JAGUAR WHOSE FRONT LEAPER ON THE HOOD HAS FALLEN OFF DUE TO THE WIRES RUSTING BECAUSE WATER ACCUMULATES IN IT, THEN IT ULTIMATELY COMES UNDONE AND FALLS OFF DUE TO THE DISINTEGRATION OF THE RUSTY WIRING THAT HOLDS THE LEAPER ONTO THE HOOD. THIS APPEARS TO BE A DESIGN DEFECT. THE LEAPER IS A HEAVY PIECE OF METAL AND COULD DO DAMAGE TO VEHICLES THAT MAY BE TRAVELING BEHIND OR TO THE OWNER?S VEHICLE ITSELF SHOULD THIS COME OFF WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. I CONTACTED MY LOCAL JAGUAR DEALERSHIP TO ADVISE THE SERVICE MANAGER AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY HAVE HAD THIS OCCUR IN THE PAST BUT THERE IS NO MANUFACTURE FIX OR RECALL KNOWN, JUST PARTS FROM HARDWARE STORE THAT THEY USE TO REATTACH THE LEAPER ON THE HOOD. HOWEVER, THEY WOULD RE AFFIX IF MY CAR IS UNDER WARRANTY, BUT THE CAR IS BARELY JUST OVER WARRANTY PERIOD. EVEN IF THEY DO REAFFIX THE LEAPER, IT IS NOT WITH JAGUAR PARTS AND VIBRATION COULD LOOSEN THE NUT, WHERE IT AGAIN MAY COME OFF. THE LEAPER ALSO CAME OFF ON ANOTHER JAGUAR WE OWNED AS WELL, BUT WE WERE NOT SURE WHERE IT WAS LOST - ON ROADWAY OR HIGHWAY. I AN CONCERNED THAT THE LEAPER COMING OFF COULD BECOME A REAL SAFETY ISSUE IF THIS OCCURS AT HIGH SPEEDS ANY TIME ON THE HIGHWAY. THE GOOD NEWS IS THAT I NOTICE THE NEWER JAGUAR MODELS NO LONGER HAVE THE STANDING LEAPER ON THE FRONT OF THE HOODS, BUT HAVE BEEN REPLACED BY AN EMBLEM DESIGN. PERHAPS JAGUAR KNOWS ABOUT THE LEAPER COMING UNDONE AND THEY HAVE RE-DESIGNED. HOWEVER, WHAT OF THE CARS THAT CURRENTLY HAVE THE LEAPER ON THE HOOD? *TR
