VEHICLE WAS RETURNED ON (THREE DIFFERENT OCCASIONS) TO DEALER IN TWO DIFFERENT STATES TO CORRECT GRINDING SOUND NEAR FRONT WHEELS BETWEEN NOVEMBER 2003 AND JUNE 2005. VEHICLE SPRUNG A BROKEN FUEL LINE SOME TIME IN LATE 2004. VEHICLE REAR BRAKES LOCKED ON FREEWAY RAMP JULY, 2005 TWO WEEKS AFTER DEALER HAD INSTALLED NEW REAR BRAKE PADS. THE VEHICLE HAS TOO MANY DEFECTS IN VARIOUS AREAS FOR A THREE YEAR OLD. MY FEAR IS THAT THERE IS MORE TO SURFACE AND I WILL BE HOLDING A LEMON IN THE VERY NEAR FUTURE.

2003 JAGUAR S TYPE EXPERIENCING PROBLEMS WITH THE EMERGENCY BRAKE ENGAGING WHILE DRIVING.*MR WHEN THE EMERGENCY BRAKE APPLIED, IT CAUSED PREMATURE WEAR OF THE REAR BRAKES AND TIRES. ALSO CONTRIBUTING TO THE PREMATURE WEAR OF THE TIRES WERE PROBLEMS WITH THE REAR END OF THE VEHICLE. THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE EMERGENCY BRAKE, BUT THE DEALER REFUSED TO REPLACE THE REAR BRAKES AND TIRES. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN THE REPAIR SHOP ON 3 OCCASIONS FOR A JERK IN THE TRANSMISSION. PRIOR TO PURCHASING THE VEHICLE, THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE TRANSMISSION, HOWEVER THE DEALER FAILED TO DISCLOSE THE INFORMATION TO THE CONSUMER. THE CONSUMER STATED ONE TIME SHE PLACED THE GEAR INTO DRIVE, BUT THE VEHICLE DID NOT MOVE, THINKING SHE HAD PLACED IT INTO THE WRONG GEAR, SHE LOOKED DOWN AND THE VEHICLE LUNGED FORWARD. *JB

AT 11 MILES A SMALL NOISE WAS THERE. I LOOK AT TIRES & SAW NOTHING. AFTER ROAD TRIP TOLD SERVICE TECH AND SALESMAN. WAS TOLD ROCK IN TIRE, AT 53 MILE NOISE CAME BACK. CALLED SALESMAN, AND GENERAL MANAGER WAS TOLD TO BRING IT IN TO SHOP MONDAY. PAINT HAS SCRATCHES THREW OUT CAR PAINT.
CERTAIN PASSENGER VEHICLES FAIL TO COMPLY WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 135, "PASSENGER CAR BRAKE SYSTEM." THE BRAKE FLUID MASTER CYLINDER RESERVOIR IS RECESSED AND ORIENTED IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT BENEATH A LEAF SCREEN, SUCH THAT THE BRAKE FLUID WARNING STATEMENT EMBOSSED ON THE TOP OF THE RESERVOIR BODY IS NOT VISIBLE BY DIRECT VIEW.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: THIS DOES NOT COMPLY WITH THE STANDARD.
Remedy: OWNERS WILL BE SENT LETTERS WHICH WILL INCLUDE INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS AND LABELS CONTAINING THE REQUIRED WARNING STATEMENT. IF THEY PREFER, OWNERS MAY CONTACT DEALERS TO HAVE THEM INSTALL THE LABELS. THE RECALL BEGAN ON JANUARY 25, 2005. OWNERS MAY CONTACT JAGUAR AT 1-800-452-4827.
ON CERTAIN PASSENGER VEHICLES, THE ELECTRONIC PARK BRAKE MODULE, WHICH CONTROLS THE APPLICATION OF THE PARKING BRAKE, MAY UNINTENTIONALLY APPLY THE PARKING BRAKE WITHOUT ANY INDICATION OR WARNING TO THE DRIVER.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: THIS CONDITION CAN CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO DECELERATE AND MAY CAUSE REAR WHEEL "LOCKUP" AT ANY ROAD SPEED. A CRASH MAY OCCUR.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE ELECTRONIC PARK BRAKE MODULE WITH THE LATEST PRODUCTION LEVER PARTS. THE RECALL BEGAN ON JANUARY 15, 2005. OWNERS SHOULD CONTACT JAGUAR AT 1-800-452-4827.
ON CERTAIN PASSENGER VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSIONS, WITH THE FORWARD DRIVE GEAR SELECTED AND THE VEHICLE STATIONARY OR IN A FORWARD MOTION, THE GEARBOX COULD POTENTIALLY SELECT REVERSE GEAR, WITHOUT INDICATION.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: THIS FAILURE COULD RESULT IN A CRASH.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL REPROGRAM THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE. THE RECALL BEGAN ON MAY 1, 2004. OWNERS SHOULD CONTACT JAGUAR AT 1-201-818-8500.
