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.).

THE AIRBAG ELECTRONIC MODULE IS NOT PROPERLY, VEHICLE WILL NOT GIVE INFORMATION ON PASSENGER WEIGHT REQUIREMENTS TO ACTIVATE THE SYSTEM. *MJ
ON CERTAIN PASSENGER VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH LHD MANUAL TRANSMISSIONS, THE HAND BRAKE, WHICH APPLIES THE PARKING BRAKE, MAY NOT APPLY SUFFICIENT PRESSURE TO THE BRAKE PADS TO PREVENT THE VEHICLE FROM MOVING IF THE MANUAL TRANSMISSION WAS LEFT IN THE NEUTRAL POSITION. THE AUTOMATIC ADJUSTER WITHIN THE HAND BRAKE MAY NOT WORK PROPERLY CAUSING THE HAND BRAKE LEVER TO TRAVEL OUTSIDE THE RECOMMENDED RANGE.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: IF THE VEHICLE TRAVELS OUTSIDE THE RECOMMENDED RANGE, THE VEHICLE MAY ROLL AWAY AND A CRASH MAY OCCUR.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE EXISTING AUTOMATIC ADJUSTMENT HAND BRAKE LEVER SYSTEM ON THE AFFECTED VEHICLES WITH A MANUAL HAND BRAKE LEVER SYSTEM. THE RECALL BEGAN ON JANUARY 14, 2005. OWNERS SHOULD CONTACT JAGUAR AT 1-800-452-4827.
ON CERTAIN PASSENGER SEDANS, THE POWER CIRCUIT WHICH FEEDS THE DIRECTION INDICATOR SYSTEM COULD FAIL. THIS COULD RESULT IN THE DRIVER BEING UNAWARE THAT THE EXTERNAL TURNING INDICATORS ARE NOT OPERATING BECAUSE THE INTERNAL "TELL-TAIL" LIGHT ON THE DRIVER'S INSTRUMENT PANEL CONTINUES TO WORK NORMALLY.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: THE LOSS OF REAR TURN SIGNALS COULD FAIL TO WARN A FOLLOWING DRIVER THAT THE VEHICLE IS TURNING AND COULD RESULT IN A CRASH.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE GENERAL ELECTRIC MODULE. OWNER NOTIFICATION BEGAN APRIL 1, 2003. OWNERS WHO TAKE THEIR VEHICLES TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER ON AN AGREED UPON SERVICE DATE AND DO NOT RECEIVE THE FREE REMEDY WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME SHOULD CONTACT JAGUAR AT 1-201-818-8500.
