2002 Jaguar X-Type Owner Complaints

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.

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

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

THE JAGUAR DEALER REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION AND RELATED PARTS IN THE CAR AS IT WAS UN-DRIVABLE. AFTER RE-ASSEMBLY, THE CAR WOULD MAKE CLUNKING SOUNDS WHEN TURNING TIGHT TURNS AND OVER BUMPS AND DIPS. THIS BECAME MORE NOTICEABLE OVER TIME, UNTIL THE DEALER WANTED TO REPLACED MOST OF THE SUSPENSION. IT TURNS OUT THAT THE TRANSMISSION SUB-FRAME IS BOLTED THROUGH THE FLOOR PAN TO SPOT-WELDED NUTS. THE TECHNICIAN BROKE THESE NUTS LOOSE DURING RE-INSTALLING THE FRAME MEMBER (PERHAPS BY OVER-TORQUING). THE DRIVETRAIN WOULD THEN SHIFT DURING THE TIGHT TURNS AND OVER BUMPS MAKING A LOUD CLUNKING IN THE UNIBODY. *TR

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

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.

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

THERE WAS NO CRASH ASSOCIATED WITH THIS PROBLEM. ALL FOUR DOOR LOCKS HAVE BECOME INOPERABLE FROM THE OUTSIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THE PROBLEM CAN BE FIXED BY REPLACING THE DOOR LATCHES. THIS STARTED HAPPENING OCCASIONALLY WHEN THE CAR WAS THREE YEARS OLD AND HAS GOTTEN MUCH WORSE. IN AN EMERGENCY IT WOULD BE IMPOSSIBLE TO OPEN THE DOORS FROM THE OUTSIDE. *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
