SAJEA01U93HM890392003 JAGUAR S-Type

The contact owns a 2003 Jaguar S-Type. The contact stated that while refueling the vehicle at a gas station, fuel suddenly sprayed out from underneath the vehicle without warning. The contact contacted an authorized dealer and was informed that the dealer lacked the equipment and parts required to service vehicles over 15 years old. The contact was then referred to an independent mechanic specialized in foreign vehicles, to whom the dealer transmitted the vehicle information and failure details. However, the contact later received a follow-up call from the dealer, confirming the independent mechanic could not provide the necessary equipment or parts to service the vehicle. Despite the active safety hazard, the vehicle remained operational, though it emitted a strong fuel odor and left a continuous trail of leaking fuel. Upon investigation, the contact related the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 06E056000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE); however, the VIN was not included in the recall campaign. The manufacturer had not yet been notified of the component failure. The vehicle remained unrepaired. The failure mileage was approximately 75,000.

The contact owns a 2003 Jaguar S-Type. The contact stated while driving approximately 20-25 MPH, the vehicle would shift into reverse independently and would lock up while the gear shifter was in a drive(D). The gear box fault warning light was illuminated. The contact depressed the accelerator pedal in order to continue to drive. Additionally, the contact stated that while at a complete stop with the vehicle in drive(D), the vehicle would reverse independently. The contact would immediately depress the brake pedal. The warning message "Gear Box Fault" was illuminated. There was no further information provided. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic several times where it was diagnosed that the failure was associated with NHTSA Campaign Number: 04V024000 (Power Train). The independent mechanic then contacted the local dealer who advised that the transmission control module (TCM) was previously reprogrammed under NHTSA Campaign Number: 04V024000 (Power Train) in 2004. The dealer advised that they could not assist as the software was no longer available. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 120,000.

The contact owns a 2003 Jaguar S. The contact stated that his wife was reversing with the brake pedal being depressed when she lost control of the vehicle and it accelerated on its own almost crashing into pedestrians. The dealer was made aware of the failure but informed the contact that they only repair vehicles made in 2005 and newer and the VIN was not included in a recall. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 105,000. VIN was unavailable.

SEEMS THAT GAS IS LEAKING OR SOMETHING, THE CABIN OF THE CAR BEGINS TO SMELL OF FUEL AT RANDOM TIMES AND THE CAR ALSO RANDOMLY DECELERATES.

VEHICLE PARKING BRAKE RANDOMLY COMES ON WITHOUT WARNING AND CAUSES CAR TO TRY LOCK WHEELS EVEN WHEN DRIVING. SOMETIMES WHEN FIRST START THE PARKING BRAKE IS LOCKED EVEN IF I DON'T USE IT AND WILL UNLOCK WHEN START ROLLING. VEHICLE HAS MULTIPLE MISFIRE COEDS AND RESTRICTED PERFORMANCE AND LOSES POWER FOR NO REASON. ALSO DANGEROUS WHEN DRIVING IN TRAFFIC. NOT SURE WHAT ISSUES IS BUT HAS NEW PLUGS AND COILS AND EVERYTHING SO BELIEVE ELECTRICAL ISSUE

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 JAGUAR S-TYPE. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS STARTED, THE CONTACT SMELLED FUEL AND NOTICED FUEL ON THE GROUND UNDER THE FUEL TANK.

I FOUND A RECALL ON THE ELECTRONIC PARK BRAKE MODULE FOR A DEFECT TO BE REPLACED SINCE 2005, BUT I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED. I HAVE HAD THIS VEHICLE SINCE 2007 WITH MANY SERVICES AT THE DEALERSHIP SINCE PURCHASED. MONDAY JUNE 11, 2018 MY PARKING BRAKE ENGAGED AND WOULD NOT RELEASE. THIS IS S SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN. I WAS PARKED AWAY FROM HOME PAYING A BILL IN THE PORING RAIN AND HAD TO HAVE MY CAR TOWED TO THE NEARER DEALERSHIP.IT HAS BEEN 3 DAYS NOW WITHOUT TRANSPORTATION AND I STILL DON'T KNOW IF THEY CAN FIX IT. ALL THIS COULD HAVE BEEN AVOIDED WITH PROPER SERVICE AND NOTIFICATION FROM THE AUTHORIZED DEALERSHIP YEARS AGO AT THE TIME OF SERVICE.

WHILE DRIVING AND MAKING A LEFT HAND TURN AT SLOW SPEED ,I TRIED TO USE MY BRAKES BUT MY CAR ACCELERATED. THERE WERE 2 PEDESTRIANS ON THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF THE STREET. TO AVOID HITTING THEM, I SWERVED TO THE CURB AND IMMEDIATELY TURNED OFF MY IGNITION. ONE OF THE PEDESTRIANS SAID MY FRONT TIRES LOCKED AND MY REAR TIRES WERE SPINNING. FORTUNATELY, I WAS DRIVING IN MY PRIVATE STREET LOCATED IN A TOWNHOUSE COMMUNITY. I COULD HAVE EASILY KILLED SOMEONE. VERY SCARY! THE CAR IS NOW AT MY MECHANICS. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE.02

MY 2003 JAGUAR S TYPE IS GETTING A PARKING BRAKE FAULT/ENGINE SYSTEM FAULT AND DSC NOT AVAILABLE AT THE SAME TIME WITH THE ABS BRAKE SYMBOL. I HAVE NEW BRAKES ON MY CAR AND THE ROTORS ARE GOOD AS WELL. I WAS DRIVING AND MY CAR LIGHTING SYSTEM CAME UP WITH THAT ABOVE AND STARTED TO MOVE SLOWLY ON A CITY STREET. I DON'T KNOW WHAT IS CAUSING THIS PROBLEM. I SEE THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE PARKING BRAKE MODULE BACK IN 2005 BUT I AM THE SECOND OWNER OF THIS CAR. I AM NOT SURE IF THIS WAS TAKEN CARE OF BY THE PREVIOUS OWNER. I HAVE CALLED SEVERAL JAGUAR PLACES ABOUT RECORDS ON THIS CAR ABOUT THESE RECALL/S BUT I AM GETTING THE RUN AROUND. LUCKILY I HAVEN'T HAD ANY ACCIDENTS WITH THIS ISSUE. PLEASE HELP...

MY 2003 JAGUAR S-TYPE WAS RECALLED IN 2004, RECALL #42036 (R513) POWER TRAIN: AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. I PURCHASED MY JAGUAR AS THE SECOND OWNER 1 1/2 YEARS AGO. I HAVE HAD TROUBLE WITH THE CAR. FOR INSTANCE WHEN I ATTEMPT TO PASS ANOTHER VEHICLE ON THE HIGHWAY AND TRY TO SPEED UP THE TRANSMISSION SLOWS THE CAR DOWN SIGNIFICANTLY. IF I AM TRAVELING AT 55 M.P.H AND ACCELERATE THE CAR WILL IMMEDIATELY SLOW TO ABOUT 30 M.P.H OR LESS. IT IS VERY SCARY! AND COULD RESULT IN A CRASH (AS THE WARNING STATED ON THE RECALL)! THE REPAIR SHOP RAN A COMPUTER DIAGNOSTIC ON MY CAR. THE CODE ON THE COMPUTER STATES "THE TRANSMISSION NEEDS RE-PROGRAMMING OF THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE AS THE TRANSMISSION IS SLIPPING INTO NEUTRAL UNDER LOAD." THE SHOP SAID THERE WAS AN OPEN RECALL ON THE CAR AND THE DEALER NEEDS TO UPDATE THE COMPUTER SOFTWARE TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. THE CAR HAS NO STICKERS SAYING RECALL SERVICE WAS EVER DONE ON IT. THE DEALER SAID THEY CANNOT PERFORM THE SERVICE UNDER THE RECALL AS THE RECALL AS THERE IS NO OPEN FIELD ACTION ON MY VEHICLE ALTHOUGH THERE IS A CURRENTLY OPEN CAMPAIGN.

I PULLED UP TO STOP AT A RESTAURANT CURB AND STOPPED THE VEHICLE. THE ENGINE SUDDENLY RACED TO APPROX 6000-6500 RPM. I WAS ABLE TO KEEP MY FOOT FIRMLY ON THE BRAKE, SHIFT THE TRANSMISSION INTO PARK, AND TURN THE ENGINE OFF. WHEN I RE-STARTED THE ENGINE EVERYTHING WAS FINE. I DID' NOT THINK TOO MUCH OF THIS, OUTSIDE OF SCARING THE HELL OUT OF ME, AS I THOUGHT MY FOOT MIGHT HAVE SLIPPED OFF THE BRAKE AND ON TO THE ACCELERATOR. ABOUT ONE WEEK IT HAPPENED AGAIN AS I WAS PULLING UP TO A STOP BEHIND A VEHICLE THE ENGINE STARTED RACING AGAIN. AGAIN I WAS ABLE TO SOP, WITHIN 2 FEET, OF THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME. THE VEHICLE IS NOW AT THE JAGUAR DEALERSHIP, MARKEL, IN OMAHA, NE. JAGUAR CARS IN NEW JERSEY ([XXX]) JUST INFORMED ME THAT IT IS A TRANSMISSION PROBLEM AND JAGUAR WOULD NOT ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY FOR A POSSIBLE SAFETY DEFECT. THEY OFFERED TO REPAIR IT FOR $7,500. I BELIEVE THIS IS A POTENTIAL SAFETY ISSUE AND WILL NOT DRIVE IT UNTIL IT IS REPAIRED. JAGUAR APPARENTLY DOES NOT AGREE WITH ASSESSMENT AND REFUSES TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE DEFECT.

HI THE CAR STARTED BRAKING ITSELF WITHOUT PUSHING THE BRAKE THEN I SEE THE PARKING BRAKE LIGHT FAULT IT THE DASHBOARD. I CAN'T DRIVE THE CAR LIKE THIS. *TR

RIGHT BRAKE TAIL LIGHT WILL NOT GO OFF, REPLACED ALL BULBS *JS

I WAS PARKED AT A RED LIGHT AND HIT HEAD ON BY ANOTHER VEHICLE THAT HAD TO BE AT LEAST TRAVELING MORE 50 MPH AND THE AIR BAGS DIDN'T DEPLOY ON EITHER THE DRIVER AND THE PASSENGER SIDE. *TR

WHILE APPROACHING A STOP SIGN AND APPLYING MY BRAKES THE CAR INVOLUNTARILY ACCELERATED ON TO INCOMING TRAFFIC. THE CAR WAS REVVING AT HIGH SPEED AND COULD NOT BE STOPPED. I HAD BOTH FEET ON THE BRAKES BUT CAR WAS NOT RESPONDING . I HEADED TOWARD HIGH CURB AVOIDING CARS AND PEDESTRIANS IN HOPES OF SLOWING CAR BEFORE I WAS TO HIT DIPSEY DUMPSTER ,ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD (I HAD CHOSEN TO HIT THEM IN ORDER TO AVOID INVOLVING OTHER CARS AND PEDESTRIANS) WHEN I HIT THE CURB AT HIGH RPMS , THE IMPACT DAMAGED THE RIGHT FRONT WHEEL AND UNDER CARRIAGE OF AUTOMOBILE. THE ACCELERATION STOPPED . IT WAS A TERRIFYING EXPERIENCE. THIS MALFUNCTION HAS BEEN REGISTERED BY OTHER DRIVERS. OF JAGUARS. IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT JAGUAR NEEDS TO ADDRESS. I AM LUCKY THAT I DID NOT KILL ANYONE OR HAD SERIOUS INJURIES TO MY PASSENGER AND MYSELF. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 JAGUAR S-TYPE. THE CONTACT WAS BRAKING FOR A TRAFFIC STOP WHEN THE ENGINE RPMS INCREASED AND THE VEHICLE ABNORMALLY ACCELERATED. THE FAILURE OCCURRED AS THE CONTACT WAS STILL APPLYING THE BRAKES. THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO STOP THE VEHICLE AND CRASHED INTO A DUMPSTER IN ORDER TO STOP THE VEHICLE FROM ACCELERATING ANY FURTHER. THE CONTACT AND THE FRONT SEAT PASSENGER SUSTAINED MINOR INJURIES. A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED OF THE INCIDENT. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER TO HAVE A DIAGNOSTIC PERFORMED. THE BLACK BOX WAS REVIEWED BUT THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO RETRIEVE ANY INFORMATION. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 80,000.

THE DISTANCE OF THE BRAKE PEDAL AND ACCELERATOR PEDAL ARE ALMOST THE SAME DISTANCE FROM THE CAR FLOOR AND THE PEDALS ARE CLOSE ENOUGH THAT A FOOT CAN CONTACT BOTH. AFTER STARTING THE CAR IN A PARKING LOT AND PUTTING IN DRIVE I STEPPED ON THE BRAKE BUT THE CAR LURCHED FORWARD AND THE HARDER I PRESSED THE BRAKE THE FASTER THE CAR WENT OVER A CONCRETE BARRIER. THE CAUSE WAS, OF COURSE, THAT I WAS STEPPING ON BOTH PEDALS. A YEAR LATER THE SAME THING HAPPENED AND I RAMMED AND BROKE A GARAGE DOOR. THE HEIGHT OF THE BRAKE PEDAL MUST BE RAISED ABOUT AN INCH SO THAT STEPPING ON THE BRAKE PEDAL WILL NOT ALLOW SIMULTANEOUS STEPPING THE ACCELERATOR. I HAVE CONTACTED JAGUAR, NORTH AMERICA REF# [XXX]. ON MY CAR I HAVE PUT A 7/8 INCH BLOCK ON THE BRAKE PEDAL TO RAISE THE HEIGHT. IF IT HAD BEEN A PERSON AHEAD OF ME INSTEAD OF A GARAGE DOOR I PROBABLY WOULD HAVE KILLED HIM.

WHEN I TURNED ON THE IGNITION THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG EXPLODED, THE DASH COVER THAT COVERS THE AIR BAG BLEW OUT JUST MISSING MY WIFES HEAD, AND COMPLETELY SMASHED THE WINDSHIELD, RUINING THE COVER AND THE WINDSHIELD. IT ALSO BLEW OUT THE SUNROOF BREAKING THE PLASTIC PIECES THAT ALLOW THE SUNROOF TO OPEN AND CLOSE. I CALLED JAGUAR WHO TOLD ME TO HAVE THE CAR TOWED TO THE NEAREST JAGUAR DEALER. AFTER 3 WEEKS I WAS TOLD BY THE SERVICE MANAGER THAT THE CAUSE OF THE AIR BAG GOING OFF WAS A WIRE THAT CAME FROM THE BACK OF THE AIRBAG HOLDER AND CONNECTED TO THE AIRBAG. THE CARRAGE THAT THE AIRBAG SITS IN HAD VERY SHARP EDGES WHERE THE WIRE GOES THRU TO CONNECT WITH THE AIRBAG. AS A RESULT THE WIRE RUBBING ON THE AIRBAG CARRAGE RUBBED THRU THE INSULATION OF THE WIRE CAUSING THE AIR BAG TO EXPLODE UPON THE TURNING OF THE KEY. JAGUAR WILL DO NOTHING TO REPAIR MY VEHICLE ,BUT MORE THEN THAT SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET KILLED AS THE METAL DASH PLATE OVER THE AIRBAG COMES OUT AT APROX. 800 MILES PER HOUR, ENOUGH SPEED AND POWER TO COMPLETELY SHATTER THE WINDSHIELD, AND SUNROOF. *TR

MY CAR IS UNDER FULL WARRANTY AND I DO NOT UNDERSTAND HOW A KNOWN PROBLEM ON A CAR IS MY RESPONSIBILITY TO COVER THE COSTS.

THE CONSUMER STATED AFTER THE ORDEAL ENDED, THE DSC LIGHT ILLUMINATED AND THE READOUT SAID DSC DISABLED. THE CONSUMER STATED PRIOR TO MAY 7, 2007 HE HIT A LIGHT POST AS A RESULT OF THE UNWANTED ACCELERATION OF THE VEHICLE. *JB

WHILE STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT WITH RIGHT FOOT ON THE BRAKE AND THE TRANSMISSION IN DRIVE THE CAR SURGED FORWARD ON ITS OWN AT A RAPID RATE, MOVING FORWARD CONSIDERABLY MORE THAN A CAR LENGTH BEFORE HEAVY BRAKING SLOWED IT DOWN IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION AGAINST A RED LIGHT. THE ENGINE THAN RETURNED TO IDLE JUST AS FAST AND MYSTERIOUSLY AS IT ACCELERATED. AT NO TIME WAS THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL TOUCHED. THE STABILITY CONTROL SYSTEM LIGHT CAME ON INDICATING FAILURE OF THE SYSTEM. *TR

UNINTENDED AND OUT OF CONTROL ACCELERATION I WAS SLOWLY PULLING OUT OF A PARALLEL PARKING PLACE WITH MY LEFT FOOT STILL ON THE BRAKE. THE CAR SUDDENLY ACCELERATED WITH THE ENGINE SPEEDING. IT TOOK BOTH FEET ON THE BRAKE TO BRING THE CAR TO A STOP, JUST SHORT OF A PEDESTRIAN IN A CROSS WALK. THE ENGINE DROPPED TO IDLE AFTER A FEW SECONDS. THE CAR WAS DELIVERED TO WOBURN JAGUAR WHO WORKED ON IT BUT COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. JAGUAR CARS IN NJ WAS ADVISED BUT OFFERED NO HELP. *TR

UNINTENDED AND OUT OF CONTROL ACCELERATION I HAD STOPPED THE CAR WAITING FOR A PARKING PLACE AT THE CLINIC. I BACKED UP A FEW FEET TO ALLOW A CAR TO BACK OUT OF THE SPACE I WANTED. I STARTED TO MOVE SLOWLY INTO THE HEAD IN PARKING SPACE WITH MY LEFT FOOT STILL ON THE BRAKE WHEN THE CAR ACCELERATED RAPIDLY WITH A ROAR. WITH BOTH FEET ON THE BRAKE I WAS FINALLY ABLE TO STOP THE CAR BUT NOT BEFORE IT JUMPED THE CURB AT THE END OF THE PARKING SPACE AND HIT THE CONCRETE BASE OF A LAMP POST, DAMAGING THE FRONT BUMPER. THE ENGINE QUICKLY RETURNED TO IDLE AFTER A FEW SECONDS. A PERSON STANDING AT THE END OF THE PARKING SPACE WOULD HAVE BEEN HIT. THE CAR WAS DELIVERED TO WOBURN JAGUAR AND IDENTIFIED AS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. WOBURN JAGUAR CLAIMED TO HAVE RECONFIGURED THE ECM AND TCM BUT CLAIMED THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. JAGUAR NJ WAS NOTIFIED BUT AGAIN OFFERED NO HELP OR ADVICE ABOUT THE UNINTENTIONAL ACCELERATION. *TR

TL*- THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING THE 2003 JAGUAR S TYPE WITH 75400 FAILURE MILEAGE AT 20 MPH THE VEHICLE STOPPED UNEXPECTEDLY. THE DEALER TOLD THE CONTACT THAT THE PARKING BRAKE WAS CLOGGED, THE VEHICLE HAS AN ELECTRIC PARKING BRAKE. THE CONTACT HIT THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL AND THE VEHICLE CONTINUED GOING FORWARD. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN REPAIRED. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 75450.*AK

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED IN JANUARY 2006, THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED ON ITS OWN WHILE REVERSING, CRASHING INTO A CEMENT GARAGE. NO INJURIES WERE SUSTAINED. A POLICE REPORT WAS TAKEN. THE SERVICE DEALER COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. IN OCTOBER 2006, THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED ON ITS OWN AND REAR ENDED ANOTHER VEHICLE. A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT TAKEN. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A OUT OF STATE DEALER TO TRY TO FIX THE ISSUE.

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS PLACED IN REVERSE WITH HER FOOT ON THE BRAKE, HOWEVER THE VEHICLE SCREECHED AND SHOT OUT OF THE DETACHED GARAGE WHERE OTHER VEHICLES WERE LINED UP ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE RESIDENTIAL SUBDIVISION AND HIT TWO OTHER VEHICLES ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE STREET ABOUT 40 FEET AWAY. THE SERVICE DEALER INSPECTED THE VEHICLE AND DETERMINED THEY COULD NOT FIND ANY PROBLEMS WITH THE VEHICLE. ON JUNE 11, 2006, THIS HAPPENED AGAIN IN A PARKING LOT. DURING THIS INCIDENT, THE VEHICLE WAS PLACED IN REVERSE AND AGAIN THE BRAKES FAILED AND HIT THE VEHICLE BEHIND THEM. *AK UPDATED 07/14/06. *JB

2003 JAGUAR DRIVERS SIDE WINDOW WILL NOT ROLL UP/DOWN. FRONT BALL JOINTS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. *TS THE AIR CONDITIONER WAS BLOWING OUT HOT AIR, THE DEALER STATED THE EVAPORATOR WAS LEAKING FREON. THE REAR BUMPER WAS BROKEN. THE ABS CONTROL MODULE NEEDED TO BE REPROGRAMMED. THE BRAKES NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE REAR LIGHTS WERE INOPERATIVE. *JB THE CONSUMER BELIEVES THE ODOMETER ON THE VEHICLE WAS ROLLED BACK PRIOR TO PURCHASE AND THAT THE VEHICLE WAS IN AN ACCIDENT. *NM

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED WHILE MAKING TURNS AT 15 TO 20 MPH ON NORMAL ROAD CONDITIONS, THE STEERING WHEEL FAILED. IT WOULD NOT RESPOND TO ANY STEERING INPUT. THERE WERE NO WARNING SIGNAL PRIOR TO ANY OF THE FAILURES. THE FAILURES WERE INTERMITTENT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A SERVICE DEALER FOR REPAIRS HOWEVER THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED.

I APPLIED BRAKE & MADE RIGHT TURN INTO PARKING SPACE. I THEN APPLIED MORE PRESSURE TO BRAKE TO STOP CAR. CAR DID NOT STOP, BUT CONTINUED TO MOVE FORWARD AS IF I HAD NOT APPLIED MORE PRESSURE TO BRAKE. REALIZING I MAY HIT CURB, I PUSHED BRAKE PEDDLE DOWN HARD, & ADDED LEFT FOOT TO BRAKE PEDAL ALONG WITH RIGHT FOOT. BRAKE PEDAL LOST ALL RESISTANCE, & MY FEET WENT DOWN TO THE FLOOR. CAR ACCELERATED FORWARD & CRASHED INTO CEMENT STEPS. CAR WAS TOWED TO JAG AUTHORIZED BODY SHOP, THEN TOWED TO DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS. DEALER SENT COMPUTER READOUT TO JAGUAR ENGINEERS TO ANALYZE. THEY COULD NOT "FIND" THE PROBLEM, SO JAGUAR TOLD ME THAT THERE IS NO PROBLEM! JUST BECAUSE JAGUAR COULD NOT "FIND" THE PROBLEM, DOES NOT MEAN THERE IS NO PROBLEM! JAGUAR WILL NOT DISCLOSE TO EITHER MYSELF OR DEALER WHAT PARTS WERE TESTED OR RESULTS OF TESTS. JAGUAR JUST SAYS CAR CONFORMS TO MANUFACTURER SPECIFICATIONS. JAGUAR REFUSES TO PUT IN WRITING THAT THIS CAR IS SAFE TO DRIVE. ANOTHER INDICATION OF A MALFUNCTION IS THAT 5 DAYS BEFORE THE ACCIDENT I RE- LEASED THIS 2003 CAR. DEALER LOOKED AT THE MILEAGE ON IT AND WROTE IT ON THE LEASE. THEN 5 DAYS LATER WHEN IT CRASHED & GOT TOWED TO THE BODY SHOP, THE BODY SHOP WROTE DOWN THE MILEAGE UPON ARRIVAL. ( CAR WAS NOT ABLE TO BE DRIVEN). MY INSURANCE APPRAISER AND THEIR INVESTIGATOR ALSO WROTE DOWN THAT SAME MILEAGE NUMBER. THE ODOMETER HAD REGISTERED 440 MILES MORE THAN ON THE DATE OF THE LEASE, YET I HAD ACTUALLY ONLY DRIVEN IT A MAXIMUM OF 100 MILES! DEALER & JAGUAR SAID THEY HAVE NO WAY TO DIAGNOSE THIS & PUT BLAME ON CLERICAL ERROR. NO CLERICAL ERROR COULD EXPLAIN 440 MILES! JAGUAR CANNOT EXPLAIN THIS, SO THEY IGNORED I!. THEY CAN'T EXPLAIN WHY THE CAR DID NOT STOP AND ACCELERATED, SO THEY BLAME THAT ON DRIVER ERROR! NOTICING SO MANY OTHER COMPLAINTS FROM JAGUAR OWNERS ON YOUR WEB-SITE FOR THE VERY SAME THING. I BELIEVE THERE IS A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE THAT JAGUAR REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE AND CAN'T FIX! *NM *NM

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL, THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED AS THOUGH THE CRUISE CONTROL WAS ACTIVATED. THE VEHICLE STOPPED AFTER COLLIDING WITH CEMENT STEPS. THIS CAUSED MINOR DAMAGE TO THE FRONT END. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE DIAGNOSTIC TESTS WERE PERFORMED. THE TEST RESULTS WERE SENT TO THE MANUFACTURER AND THE MANUFACTURER WILL NOT DISCLOSE THIS INFORMATION TO THE CONTACT. *AK

(1) EVENTS LEADING UP TO THE FAILURE: NONE. THE CAR HAS BEEN ROUTINELY SERVICED. (2) FAILURE AND ITS CONSEQUENCES: THE CAR, TWICE, WHILE ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE, WOULD SLOW DOWN AND SEEMS TO BE WEIGHED DOWN. THE CAR WILL NOT ACCELERATE. THE ABS BRAKES GO OFF, AND THE EMERGENCY BRAKE LIGHTS GO OFF. ALSO, ERROR REPORT APPEARS STATING THAT THERE IS A BRAKE FAILURE. IT PUTS ME AT RISK FOR ACCIDENTS BECAUSE ON BOTH OCCASION I WAS DRIVING THE CAR. (3) WHAT WAS DONE TO CORRECT THE FAILURE: I TOOK THE CAR INTO A JAGUAR DEALER, BUT JAGUAR CAN NOT RECREATE THE ERROR, SO THEY ARE UNWILLING TO REPLACE THE BRAKING SYSTEM. *JB

I PURCHASED A S-TYPE JAGUAR 2003 JUNE 11, 2002 FROM PARK PLACE JAGUAR HOUSTON, TEXAS, I TOOK THE CAR IN BEFORE 5,000 MILE CHECK UP AND COMPLAINED ABOUT THE BRAKES, A FEW MONTHS LATER TOOK THE CAR IN FOR 5,000 MILE CHECK UP COMPLAINED ABOUT THE BRAKES WAS TOLD THAT I NEED A MASTER CYLINDER, CAR WAS LEFT WITH THE DEALERSHIP FOR A WEEK. MONTHS LATER THE BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON AND WOULD NOT GO OFF. JAGUAR FROM NATIONAL SENT A WRECKER TO PICK UP THE CAR AND DELIVERED IT TO PARK PLACE JAGUAR FOR REPAIR. THE CAR WAS IN THE SHOP FOR A WEEK AGAIN. HAD A TIRE TO WEAR OUT DUE TO FAULTY BRAKES, STILL NOTHING WAS DONE REGARDING THE BREAKS, I WAS UNDER THE IMPRESSION THAT THE BRAKES HAD BEEN FIXED UNTIL JANUARY 11,2006 WHEN I TOOK THE CAR IN FOR IT'S 30,000 MILES CHECK UP AT 29,415 AND WAS INFORMED BY ZACK ADAMS THE SERVICE ADVISOR THAT I NEEDED NEW BRAKES AND IT WOULD BE $585.36 I THANK GOD THAT ZAG FINALLY SAW THE PROBLEM NEEDED FIXING. FOR THE REPAIR, I HAVE RECEIPTS UPON YOUR REQUEST FOR THE MANY OF TIMES THE BRAKES WERE ADDRESSED FOR THE WARRANTY WAS OVER, IT IS EVIDENCED THAT I WAS SOLD A CAR WITH FAULTY BRAKES. AND JAGUAR FAILED TO PROVIDED ME WITH THE SAFETY OF MY CAR FOR 2 1/2 YEARS. IF I HAD BEEN A DRIVER THAT RODE THE BRAKES CONSTANTLY ON THE HIGHWAY, I WOULD BE A FATALITY PERSON. JAGUAR WAS NEGLIGENT IN REPAIRING MY CAR SAFELY AND REFUSES TO OWN UP TO THEIR FAILURE. ALSO THE POORLY QUALITY OF TIRES THAT I ALSO REPORTED TO THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AND WAS NOT HELPED. I PURCHASED NEW TIRES FROM DISCOUNT SERVICES FOR $539.09. THE CAR WAS NOT SAFE AND A TRAFFIC HAZARD, I CONTACTED THEM SEVERAL TIMES REGARDING ISSUE WITH CAR. IT SHOULD NOT BEEN 2 1/2 YEARS TO GE BREAKS REPAIR WHEN I STARTED COMPLAINING 2 MONTHS AFTER THE PURCHASED OF THE CAR. *JB

I WAS TRAVELING IN MY CAR AT APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH. I SLOWED FOR A TRAFFIC LIGHT. AS I WAS COMING TO A STOP (RIGHT FOOT ON THE BRAKE), THE ENGINE BEGAN TO REV, THE REAR WHEELS STARTED TO TURN PROPELLING ME FORWARD. I PLACED BOTH FEET ON THE BRAKE, PUSHED THE BRAKE TO THE FLOOR, HOWEVER THE RPM GAUGE WAS MOVING TO MAXIMUM AND THE CAR CONTINUED TO PROPEL ME FORWARD. THE REAR END STARTED SLIDING TO THE LEFT. I SLAMMED THE CAR INTO PARK AND THE TIRES STOPPED MOVING, THE RPMS DROPPED, AND THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM SHORTED RESULTING IN TAKING THE RADIO OFFLINE AND TO STATION 600 AM. I WAS ABLE TO AVOID THE STOPPED VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME BY 2 INCHES. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED. THE VEHICLE WAS EVALUATED APPROX 1 MONTH AGO FOR THE SAME TYPE OF FAILURE, BUT THEY WERE UNABLE TO REPRODUCE THE EVENT. OF NOTE, ON DECEMBER 13, 2004, THE VEHICLE WENT INTO REVERSE AND WOULD NOT COME OUT OF REVERSE. THE VEHICLE WAS EVALUATED BY THE DEALERSHIP, THE GEAR SHIFT WAS REPLACED, THE TRANS CABLE BOLT HAD FALLEN OUT, IT WAS REPLACED, AND THE CABLE WAS ADJUSTED. *JB

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

WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH REAR BRAKES LOCKED, AND THE BRAKE LIGHT ON THE DASHBOARD ILLUMINATED AND BEGAN FLASHING. THE DRIVER HAD DIFFICULTY STEERING THE VEHICLE. IT WENT INTO A SPIN ,CAUSING THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE TO HIT THE CONCRETE DIVIDER. ALSO, THE STEERING COLUMN BROKE WHEN THE BRAKE MODULE BROKE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. *AK THE ENGINEERS COULD NOT FIND A PROBLEM. *SC

AT LEAST 6 TIMES THIS 2003 JAGUAR X-TYPE 2.5 AUTOMATIC; WOULD SUDDENLY ACCELERATE AFTER EXITING CAR WHILE RUNNING IN PARK, THEN REENTERING CAR, PUT FOOT ON BRAKE AND PUT CAR IN DRIVE THEN THE ENGINE STARTS RACING AND THE CAR TRIES TO MOVE EVEN WHEN STANDIING ON THE BRAKE AS HARD AS POSSIBLE. VERY DANGEROUS, IF FOOT SLIPPED OFF BRAKE, MIGHT GET KILLED. DOES THIS ON LEVEL GROUND AND ON INCLINES. ONCE ALMOST SHOT ME THROUGH MY GARAGE. TOOK TO DEALER, STILL UNDER WARANTY, CAN'T FIND ANY THING WRONG.*AK

ON AUGUST 2003 WHILE DRIVING AT 35 MPH REAR BRAKES FAILED, AND THEN OFF AND ON THROUGH SEPTEMBER 2004. CONSUMER TOOK VEHICLE TO REPAIR SHOP, AND DEALER SAW NOTHING WRONG. CONSUMER STATED VEHICLE HAD BEEN IN AND OUT OF THE SHOP. THEN, ON OCTOBER 16, 2004, THE GEAR BOX STARTED SHIFTING IN REVERSE ON ITS OWN. TOOK VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER, AND CONSUMER WAS INFORMED A BOLT FELL OFF THE GEAR BOX. THE BOLT WAS REPLACED BY THE MECHANIC, BUT THE PROBLEM RECURRED. *AK

THE VEHICLE STARTED TO LEAK GASOLINE. THE CONSUMER REQUESTED A NEW VEHICLE WITH NO RECALLS OR PROBLEM WITH THE FUEL SYSTEM. *SC *JB

IN THE 1 1/2 YEARS THAT I HAVE OWNED MY VEHICLE IT HAS BEEN INT HE SHOP 15 TIMES FOR VARIOUS REASONS: ELECTRICAL, TRANSMISSION, FRONT END PROBLEMS, STEERING, ACCELERATIONS ETC...JAGUAR HAS BEEN DRAGGING THEIR FEET FOR 4 MONTHS IN RECTIFYING PROBLEMS. CONSUMER AFFIARS IS WORTHLESS AND HAVE ACCUSED ME OF "OUTGROWING" MY CAR. NOT CONCERNED ABOUT THEIR CUSTOMERS JUST DOESN'T WANT THEIR CAR BACK.*AK

THEY ATTRIBUTED THE PROBLEM TO A LOOSE CLAMP. THEY REPLACED THE CLAMPS. THEY ALSO REPLACED A BELT BECAUSE THE COOLANT HAD BEEN DRIPPING ONTO IT CAUSING IT TO DEGRADE. WITHIN 2 MONTHS, THE LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN. WE TOOK THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALER. THIS TIME THEY REPLACED ALL OF THE HOSES.*AK

THE ABS LIGHT AND A MESSAGE STATING ABS FAULT/PARK BRAKE FAULT WOULD DISPLAY WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. WHEN THE CAR WAS STOPPED AND RE-STARTED, THE MESSAGE WOULD RE-SET. THIS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES (> 5), AND THE DEALER DID NOT FIX FOR SOME TIME BECAUSE THEY NEVER GOT TO SEE THE MESSAGE. WE NOTICED THAT THE PROBLEM OCCURRED DURING OR AFTER A HEAVY RAIN. THE DEALER THOUGHT THERE MIGHT HAVE BEEN A PROBLEM WITH A SENSOR ON THE WHEEL.ULTIMATELY, THE DEALER REPLACED THE ABS MODULE.*AK

THE WARNING 'DISC NOT AVAILABLE' DISPLAYS INTERMITTENTLY ON THE DISPLAY WHILE DRIVING. 'DSC' IS THE DYNAMIC STABILITY CONTROL FUNCTION. SOMETIMES THE PARK BRAKE LIGHT COMES ON AT THE SAME TIME. WHEN THE PARK BRAKE LIGHT COMES ON, THE CAR MUST BE IMMEDIATELY STOPPED AND RE-STARTED. RE-STARTING THE VEHICLE RESETS THE MESSAGES. THIS PROBLEM IS CURRENTLY BEING WORKED ON AT THE DEALER.
