What owners say
Tl*the contact owns a 2001 jaguar s-type. The contact was driving approximately 10 MPH on normal road conditions. The driver traveled over a bump in the road and heard a loud rattling noise. The failure occurred at various speeds. The vehicle has not been repaired. The federal safety agency campaign id number 00v359002, suspension front control arm, lower ball joint is related to the failure; however, the VIN was excluded from the recall. In addition, the automated window regulators were replaced on the front driver, passenger and rear driver side of the vehicle. The contact had concerns of the safety risks involved. The failure mileage was 18,000 and the current mileage was 20,000.
Recently (10/16/08) purchased a 2001 s-type 4.0 with 74316 mi. 2nd day I had it transmission started slipping. Within 1 week had to be rebuilt. All coils replaced and #4 & #5 keep going bad. Dealership stated coils were broken. Sent home with broken coils. Window regulators needed to be replaced. Check engine light on dealership stated no problem. Poor service, poor quality.
After parking car on an incline, parking would not release shifter. The vehicle had to be pushed forward to relieve pressure, but the shifter cable was damaged any way. Parking brake must be engaged to help relieve pressure. Since, faulty servo or hydraulic pump made 5th gear inoperable while driving on the interstate. This seems to be a recurring problem with this transmission. Also, two window regulators have been replaced and another just broke.
Jaguar s-type. I have had three window regulators fail (front right & both rear) in less than 18 months, with the last two occurring within 60 days of each other. In searching the internet, I see many complaints from other s-type owners who have similar problems on this massive scale. I am an attorney, and this seems to be a recurring product defect such that a recall should occur or, at a minimum, jaguar should be responsible. It has cost over $1200 to replace the three thus far.
Faulty window regulator in jaguar 2000 s-type. This is the third failure. Both rear windows have failed and most currently front passenger window.

The rear bumper was broken. The ABS control module needed to be reprogrammed. The brakes needed to be replaced.

Window regulator failed while driving - passenger window dealer replaced regulator; one of 3 cars in dealership with same problem.
Dt*: the contact stated there was the federal safety agency recall campaign 00v359002 concerning the suspension, however, the recall did not correct the problem. The dealer was contacted, and they explained the recall repairs had already been completed once. *ak the drivers side window regulator and motor needed to be replaced, the engine overheated numerous times. The air conditioner did not work.. Updated 01/19/06.
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!!!!
