2002 Jaguar X-Type: grinding or squealing brakes

Filed Jan 23, 2009 · Transmission · 60,589 miles · GA

Tl*the contact owns a 2002 jaguar x-type. While accelerating from 25 to 70 MPH, the contact noticed that the gear box fault indicator began illuminating on the instrument panel. She then heard a grinding noise, which caused her to stop at a traffic light and turn off the vehicle. When she restarted the vehicle, the gear box fault indicator stopped illuminating and the grinding noise ceased. She continued to drive the vehicle throughout the day and returned to her residence. Four days later, the warning indicator and grinding noise failures recurred. The vehicle began decelerating on its own and she repeated the actions from the previous failure; however, the gear box fault indicator would not stop illuminating. Approximately two minutes later, while driving 25 MPH, the vehicle would not accelerate. The vehicle was pulled over to the side of the road and towed to the dealer. The contact was informed that the fifth gear shaft and transmission needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was notified and informed her that they were not liable for the repairs. The current and failure mileages were 60,589.

I would like to post a similar complaint to notify other consumers who owns a jaguar x-type 2002. In august 29 2007, on my way to work the car wouldn't accelerate more that 30 miles per hour. I drove back home and I had the car towed to the nearest jaguar dealership. I had to replace the transmission for a cost of $5,400 with 59,000 miles. The first 4 years, I made several visits to the dealer to fix an engine light problem, fuel leak, reported a squeaky sound coming from the brakes (@ 10,000 miles jaguar told me I needed new brakes pads for a cost $1,200,). The radio speakers stopped working and I was told it was normal wear and tear and it will cost me $ 900 to fix it.
