2002 Jaguar X-TYPE

WENT TO GAS UP MY 2002 JAGUAR X-TYPE 2.5 WHEN TOTALLY EMPTY AND GAS SHOT BACK OUT AND SPILLED ALL OVER THE PLACE. TRIED THREE DIFFERENT GAS STATIONS WITH THE SAME EFFECT. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, INDICATING A PROBLEM WITH THE GAS TANK. I CAN'T GAS MY CAR AND THERE IS THE SAFETY HAZARD OF GAS SHOOTING BACK OUT. DEALER WON'T COVER IT AND THERE ARE NO SECOND HAND PARTS OR INDIVIDUAL PARTS, HAVE TO REPLACE WHOLE GAS TANK AND FILLER SYSTEM COSTING ME $1750. *TR

TO ALL THE CONSUMERS THAT EITHER OWN OR KNOWS SOMEONE WHO OWNS A JAGUAR. I AM PUTTING TOGETHER A COMPLAINT AGAINST THE MANUFACTURER FOR A PROBLEM WITHIN THESE CARS. I, TOO, OWN A 02 JAGUAR X-TYPE AND THIS PAST WEEKEND THE CAR STOPPED WITHOUT ANY WARNING SIGNS. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO A JAGUAR DEALER ON SATURDAY THINKING MAYBE THIS WAS A MINOR PROBLEM, UNTIL I GOT THE CALL THAT THE CAR NEEDED A BRAND NEW TRANSMISSION THAT WILL COST ME OVER $5000. AFTER GOING TO WEBSITES RESEARCHING I CAME ACROSS THAT THERE WERE SO MANY OTHER CONSUMERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM , AND REALIZED THAT THIS MUST BE A MANUFACTURER'S PROBLEM. THE FUNNY THING ABOUT IT WAS THAT WE ALL STARTED OFF SAYING THAT WE BOUGHT A 02 JAGUAR AND AFTER IT REACHED OVER 50,000 MILES THAT A TRANSMISSION WAS REQUIRED ON IT. I CAME TO THE CONCLUSION THAT THE MANUFACTURER KNEW THAT THIS WAS THE REASON FOR THE EXPIRING WARRANTY AT 50,000 MILES. THE REASON NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE ABOUT IT BECAUSE NO ONE HAD EVER CAME FORWARD. THIS IS A TIME THAT WE ALL NEED TO STAND UP AND SPEAK OUT ABOUT WHAT JUST HAPPENED TO US BECAUSE I KNEW SOME OF US, STILL OWNING THESE CARS AND WORD OF MOUTH MEANT EVERYTHING. RIGHT NOW, I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO DO, BUT PRAY AND SPEAK OUT ABOUT IT WHICH MAY NOT GET ME FAR BUT AT LEAST IT GOT ME HEARD. I CALLED THE LOCAL NEWSPAPER ABOUT IT AND LEFT A MESSAGE FOR A RESPONSE. I SUGGESTED THAT OTHERS DO THE SAME AND DON?T LET THIS CONTINUE TO GO ON TO OTHER CONSUMERS. *AK

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.).

DRIVE LINE NOISE, IT HAPPENS WHEN THE AIT TEMPERATURE IS LOW, FIRST AFTER ABOUT 3-4 MINUTES OF DRIVING AND ABOUT 1/2 MILE WHEN I APPROACH MY SECOND STOP SIGN. OTHER JAGUAR OWNERS HAD THE SAME PROBLEM AND HAD TO REPLACE THE PROPSHAFT, THIS IS A TSB DEFECT AND JAGUAR WILL FIX IF YOU THE CAR HAS WARRANTY, OTHERWISE, YOU WILL HAVE TO PAY AROUND $1300 TO GET THE NOISE GONE. IF YOU GOT TO X-TYPE FORUM ON ROADFLY.COM YOU WILL FIND ALOT COMPLAINT ABOUT THAT NOISE. *NM
