2000 Jaguar S-Type suspension complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 17 of 17, newest first, as owners wrote them.
A jaguar 2000 was purchased on dec 2003. It had 39000 miles. I have only put on 4000 miles on this car and the ball joint broke the other day and I was almost killed. The car was towed to a local foreign auto place and jaguar refuses to repair the ball joint. Claiming they will only take the claim from a registered jaguar dealer. So the car was towed today to momentum jaguar on the sw freeway and I was told that the ball joint was replaced on the drivers side in april 2001 and it broke again???in less that 43000 miles we have had 2 defective ball joints?? And the passenger side is defective as well and needs to be changed!! This is a serious defect and jaguar is disclaiming any and all responsibility...it also has A/C problems and electrical problems. The sensors do not work and were replaced last year. The window regulators broke and were charged to me.. The rear passenger side of the car is falling off ....it is always overheating . It is unbelievable and I only drove it 4000 miles in the last 2 years that I own it!!!!!!surely this is a lemon in the first degree!!!!

Complaint regarding services rendered by jaguar of tacoma.*mr the consumer stated the vehicle would not come out of park easily. The dealer changed a cable, it then would come out of park, but not as smooth. The consumer then stated it almost became impossible for the gear to come out of park.

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.
While driving a loud noise came from the front the right front passenger side wheel sheared off. Driver was able to maintain control of the vehicle, and pulled over to the shoulder. Vehicle was towed to the dealer, and mechanic determined that the left and right upper and lower ball joints needed to be replaced.
When making a turn wheels hesitated before turning in the direction the vehicle was driving. This occurred because a bolt in the lower ball joint fell off. This resulted in the lower ball joint becoming loose because it was fractured.
