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

AT ONLY 46,000 MILES, VEHICLE SUFFERED CATASTROPHIC TRANSMISSION FAILURE, RESULTING IN ESTIMATES RANGING FROM $8000 (JAGUAR REBUILT) TO $3000 (LOCAL REBUILD) FOR REPAIRS. CAR WAS, ACCORDING TO DEALER, OUT OF WARRANTY BY REGISTRATION DATE, LEAVING ME WITH THE ENTIRE REBUILD BILL. JAGUAR KNOWS ABOUT THE PROBLEM OF X-TYPE TRANSMISSIONS FAILING AND REFUSES TO ADDRESS THE SITUATION. EMAILS AND LETTERS SENT TO JAGUAR HQ HAVE ALL GONE UNANSWERED. SINCE I RECEIVED THE VEHICLE, THE TRANSMISSION HAS BEEN REPLACED, HEADLIGHT WASHER COVERS HAVE BOTH BLOWN OFF DURING USE, SUNROOF HAS FAILED, BOTH FRONT SEATS ROCK (JAGUAR HAS A TSB OUT ON THIS BUT FAILS TO RECALL), MYSTERIOUS DSC FAILURES AND MANY FIT AND FINISH ISSUES (DASH PAD WARPING, PAINT ISSUES, ETC.).

NAR 04/21/2003 MR THE CONSUMERS AUTOMOBILE WAS IN A SERIES BLOCK OF VEHICLES BUILD AND SOLD WITH A DEFECTIVE CHIP. AFTER HAVING SEVERAL PROBLEMS WITH THE VEHICLE SUCH AS; THE SEAT BELT ADJUSTERS BROKEN, THE CLOCK RADIO AUDIO SYSTEM INOPERATIVE, THE BRAKES HAVING BEEN REPLACED, FAILURE OF THE TRANSMISSION INTERLOCKING WHICH CAUSES A CLICKING NOISE. AND TO DATE THE CONSUMER HAS ONLY RECEIVED ONE RECALL (R935) NOTICE. THE CONSUMER IS VERY DISSATISFIED AND FEELS THAT JAGUAR HAS FAILED TO TACKLE THE PROBLEMS AS STATED, HOPEFULLY COMPENSATION FOR THE DEFECTIVE VEHICLE WILL BE ENACTED. *CB THE DASHBOARD INSTRUMENT PANEL WAS REPLACED. THE HVAC MADE A NOISE WHEN THE DEFROSTER WAS ON *JB

Higher-selling and older vehicles accumulate more reports. Counts are not failure rates and are not directly comparable between vehicles that sold in very different numbers.
