I OWN A 2000 JAGUAR S-TYPE. EVERYTIME I PARK ON A SLOPE/INCLINE THE AUTOMATICALY LOCKS UP. MEANING WHEN I AM READY TO LEAVE FROM PARKING SPOT , THE SHIFTER WILL NOT MOVE FROM PARK TO DRIVE/REVERSE/NEUTRAL. IT LOCKS UP. I HAVE TO HAVE A TOW TRUCK COME MOVE IT TO A FLAT SURFACE. THE CAR HAS BEEN TO THE DEALER 3 TIMES, AND THE HAVE NO FIX. THE JAG DEALER AND JAGUAR CORP. TRY KEEP TELLING ME IT'S NOT A DEFECT. FROM ASKING AROUND I FOUND OUT THIS PROBLEM IS CONSITENT IN ALL THE JAGUAR S-TYPE MODEL. SO NOW UNLESS I FIND A FLAT SURFACE TO PARK I AM IN TROUBLE. WHAT IS GOING WITH THIS?

DT: THE CONTACT TOOK HER VEHCILE INTO THE MECHANIC FOR AN ALIGNMENT BECAUSE HER CAR WAS MOVING ALL OVER THE ROAD, AND THE MECHANIC NOTICED THE PROBLEM WITH THE BALL JOINTS THEN. THE CONTACT SAYS THAT LAST TUESDAY SHE TOOK HER VEHCILE TO HAVE IT SERVICED AND THE MECHANIC NOTICED THAT HER PASSENGER LOWER BALL JOINT ON THE FRONT WAS LOOSE SO HE TIGHTENED IT FOR HER ACCORDING TO SPECIFICATION AND TOLD HER THAT IT WAS A MANUFACTURER PROBLEM. AT THE TIME ON TUESDAY SHE WAS UNAWARE OF THE RECALL OF THE VEHCILE UNTIL SATURDAY MAY 7TH. ON SATURDAY THE BALL JOINT BROKE AND THE DRIVERS SIDE BALL JOINT IS LOOSE NOW. THE BALL JOINT BROKE WHILE SHE WAS DRIVING AND HER TIRE CAME A LOOSE AND CAUSED THE FRONT END TO FALL DOWN CAUSING HER TO LOOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND DONE EXTENSIVE DAMAGE. SHE HAS CONTACTED THE MILLENIUM DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD HER THAT THEY COULD NOT FIX THE PART BECAUSE THE BALL JOINT WAS REPLACED IN 2001 BECAUSE OF A RECALL ON THE BALL JOINT AND THE DEALERSHIP TOLD HER THAT THE MANUFACTURER WILL NOT REPLACE THE BALL JOINT BUT THE DEALERSHIP WILL NOT GIVE HER ANYTIME OF SERVICE RECORD STATING THAT THE RECALL DID TAKE PLACE. DEALERSHIP FURTHUR STATED THAT THERE WASN'T A RECALL.*AK

RECEIVED A MESSAGE "FUEL COMPUTER DATA ERROR" WHEN ATTEMPTING TO USE THE TRIP COMPUTER. DEALER ATTEMPTED REPAIR BE SWAPPING OUT THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER, GENERAL ELECTRONICS MODULE, REAR ELECTRONICS MODULE, PCM AND FUEL SENDERS. PROBLEM WAS NOT REPAIRED. NOW, WHEN ATTEMPTING READINGS AT THE ODBII CONNECTOR, THEY CANNOT COMMUNICATE WITH THE SYSTEM, AND CANNOT FIND THE PROBLEM AFTER MANY HOURS OF LABOR. THE CAR IS DUE FOR ITS STATE INSPECTION IN A FEW WEEKS , AND WILL FAIL DUE TO THE INSPECTION FACILITIES INABILITY TO ACCESS THE ODBII CODES/HISTORY. THE DEALER HAS GIVEN UP TRYING TO RESOLVE THIS ISSUE, AND I AM FACING A FAILED EMISSION TEST ON MY UPCOMING INSPECTION.....I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO NEXT, AS JAGUAR CLEARLY WON'T, OR CAN'T RESOLVE THE PROBLEM.*AK
