I was traveling sb i25 mile marker 251 on7/7/17 at 13;20. When a 6ft long tire debre was in the road and got hit by truck and thrown into my radiator and damaged the front end of my vehicle. When I talk to chp he had an earlier report of this yet it was in the road when I entered onto what I believed was a safe highway. I have the required liability insurance, this is not covered. The trucking co says they arent liable so the only other liability is cdot since the road wasn't safe.

When driving the engine will shut-off without any warning with loss of power steering. Will not restart. This has happened three times - the first time was around sept. 13. Car has been towed three times. I was told the computer box was "filled with about a 100 codes and were erased and the car should be fine". The mechanic has extensive jaguar experience. I have only driven this car about 100 miles since the first incident to the present date. (I was afraid to drive this car much because I do not know when the problem will occur). On 4-21-04 the problem occurred again and I was unable to steer the vehicle (at a pedestrian industrial intersection) and my family was in the car. I researched the internet and this is a common problem with the 2002 jaguar x-type. This car is dangerous to drive and a danger to the public, myself and to my family. I have owned this car since new and never abused. It needs to be recalled and the problem fixed before someone is killed! Updated 05/20/14 updated 06/19/14

The engine would quit running, usually when turning right and usually while bouncing over a bump. The car would sometimes show codes relating to the transmission, cylinder misfiring, or the security system failing. Sometimes no codes at all would be stored, and sometimes the car would start back up on its own after a brief moment. Other times it was un-drivable. The underlying issue turned out to be the positive battery cable supplying the fuse box was rubbing against a transmission mount bolt head and grounding out.

Tl* the contact owns a 2002 jaguar x-type. While driving approximately 20-25 MPH, the fuel level indicator failed. The vehicle was taken to a local repair facility where it was determined that the fuel sending unit had failed and the fuel gauge would need to be replaced. In addition, when activating the air conditioner, the engine mount warning light would intermittently illuminate on the warning panel. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer for the failure. The vine was not available. The failure mileage was 110,000 and the current mileage was 130,000.

2002 x-type jaguar 2.5 was recently repaired due to malfunctions associated with fords 2002 jaguar gear box, transmission, heater core, cylinder heads all needed to be serviced. The 2002 jaguar seems to be a lemon straight from the factories that this car was manufactured. Would like some acknowledgement and answers to be addressed by ford.

1.5 yrs with gear box fault/ABS brake lights & check engine-car constantly shut off while driving very dangerous. Code that came up catalytic converter, on the jaguar x-type 02. Dealer won't honor the 8 yrs. Change all the sensors including brakes, had the transmission rebuilt and fixed the 2 leaks, got a full tune up, everything was ok for 4day before all the lights came up again. Still same problems cont... Sat. I hit a pot hole while driving at night. The care went dead. Got it start moments later but car lights would not come back on and transmission would not operation except in reverse.... I can not drive at night because the car head lights shuts down the car whenever I turn it on. This cars spends more time in the shop than the road. Help what do I do? I financed this car and I'm constantly spending, and spending to stay up but I am slowly loosing this battle.

Our car simply stopped on my wife while she was driving it. It slowed down until it halted to a complete stop while she was driving on a major interstate. We had the car towed to a repair shop only to learn that the engine has a hole in it. The repairman stated that he was surprised at the hole in the engine because the oil was full and that nothing leading to the engine was busted. There is no leakage anywhere. We do not have any oil spots in our garage from where the car was leaking oil. We contacted the dealership in montgomery, alabama where we purchased the car. One of their representatives informed me that we needed to pursue other means because they were not interested in helping us to resolve the issue.

I treated myself to this vehicle after suffering from brain cancer for 5 years but after the experience I have had with my 2002 x type I'm not sure if it was a treat or a mistake. I have had many problems such as engine coolant sensor, o2 sensor, intake manifold, gear shift ( manual) is rough, drivers side door sticks and wont open ( embarrassing ) at first I felt like a queen in my car but now its more humiliating than anything. I broke down on the hgwy, got made fun of for my expensive vehicle being on the side of the road, the check engine light is always on. And I don't have time in life to get to enjoy this car since it is in the shop so much :(

This car has been a disappointment since day one. I bought this off lease from bournival lincoln/mercury in july 2005. Since then...first was the constant condensation of the windows...something about heater core and seals needed to be replaced. Then the check engine light kept coming on, drive 115 miles to the jag dealer and be told nothing is wrong on multiple occasions. The sun room failed and had to be replaced. When this happened the passenger front seat belt would no longer pull out-completely inoperable. Next cam the chugging, chugging,go syndrome. Ws told it had something to do with fuel sensors and oxygen sensors. Tire blow out on the highway (with kids and mother in the car). Now the bolts holding the strapping to secure the fuel tank fell out. The dealer ship tells me---not from rust---but they are alleging from some sort of valdalism--so I have to pay to have these replaced. Yup...it's been an expensive two years....$24,000 for the car, twice towed, warranty covered repair expenses +/- $4,000; uncovered repair expenses still incurring-but it's over $1,500 at last count.. Not to mention numerous drives to jaguar dealers (this means taking the day off from work)....when I bought the car, I purchased a ford premium care extended warranty, because, as I was informed, "any ford dealer should be able to handle the car"...untrue.
