My vehicle was taken to the dealership it was purchased for an AC repair in september. I was then informed that both front control arms and both ball joints needed replacing immediately for $3,000! I went home and checked online to find that my car had a recall issued (recall #6434) for the exact items I was now being told to replace. I am the original owner and never received any correspondence regarding this recall and I still reside at the same address. I've asked both the dealer and jaguar to please take care of the recall but they are stalling; I am now worried about my safety in my automobile. The facts are that 38,681 of their autos were affected but only a few were repaired-- [xxx] at jaguar 800‑452‑4827 is proposing $659 to apply to the $3,000 I would owe. I have sent two additional e-mails asking to speak to a supervisor. As of today, I have not been called, nor has there been any reply to my 2 e-mails asking why they won't repair my car. I need help to get this matter resolved. It is wrong to never contact me and now expect me to pay for the repair!

I was pulling into a stall at the treasure coast mall when we heard a loud thud when I got out to see what it was I seem that the tire was leaning in and pushed under the fender.I then had to call a tow truck and found out later that the left front ball joint completely snapped off and the right side was badly worn and loose and also had to be replaced. I just hate to think what would happen if that would have happend on the highway me and my wife were very shaken up. The car only has 47000 + which seems really strange for this to happen.

2001 jaguar s-type v-6. I receive an engine failsafe mode message on dash. The car hesitates and may stall while driving. Computer says it is the throttle body housing to throttle pedal unit (which has been replaced.) this occurs primarily in the morning when I first start driving and it will stay in this mode from 5 to 10 minutes then go to normal driving mode. The last time it stayed in the failsafe mode for about 30 minutes. Two mechanics "think it is the throttle body control but they cannot say for sure but in their opinion this is a part that fails on many jags. The failure is a real safety issue since you do not know when it can happen. At some stop lights it will just die in mid-turning of a corner. After replacing the throttle pedal which was one of the possible parts problems, it returned with the same problem after about a week. I cannot get any information from jaguar to see if this is an ongoing problem for jaguars. The only real information is on blogs and chat rooms on jag repairs. This has to be a design flaw that owners should not have to bear the burden of buying a $ 2000 part, especially if it is being ignored by the manufacturer.
