2003 x-type jaguar purchased in 2007. While driving the on the highway the dash lights for check engine and no cruise control came on. The thermostat needle quickly went to the limit on gauge. The car shut down with no control and had to pull off to side of road. 17" tires. All had to be replaced at one point or another as the rims are soft and dent or damages easily. Control arms have been replaced twice. Stereo system is not compatible with anything. The washer wipers are always clogged up. The radiator has overheated and has been replaced. I have had the transfer case completely replaced. Jaguar dealership said at one point the repairs would be close to $10,000. There is only 160,000 km on this car. It is unsafe. I cannot resell it to anyone. I am stuck with it till it dies and is paid for. Never buy this car. Everything imaginable is wrong with it and I can only drive it around town.

Plastic adjusters on headlights break when they become brittle leaving the lights aiming at the ground. Headlight bulbs constantly burn out. Amber light with "cruise control not available" has the affect of limiting the RPM to about 2800rpm, past this the engine quits and starts again under 2800rpm. Hold the accelerator down and the engine bucks on and off. This is dangerous as you cannot accelerate when you need to.

The car is a 2003 x-type jaguar with automatic transmission. Mileage is 50,139. Driving on interstate highway, the transmission produced a loud clanking sound and the engine began to race. This occurred 2 more times, so I exited the interstate and was able to pull into a shopping center parking lot. The transmission at this point would not downshift to accommodate the lower speed and remained in a high gear. After restarting and attempting to move the vehicle, reverse could not be engaged. The car was then towed 90 mile to my home jaguar dealer who has serviced the car since new. Diagnostics show that the transfer case must be replaced, at a cost of $4000.

I own the following automobile: 03 jaguar x-type [xxx]. This car was purchased in july of 2002, from howard orloff jaguar in chicago illinois. This car has given me nothing but problems. I have had the car serviced several times last year, for engine ticking, and the check engine light coming one. This year, I have had this car serviced three times for the following: 1. Tick in the engine 2. Leather discoloring 3. Carpet coming from under molding 4. Heating vents coming out of dashboard 5. Rain sensors not working' 6. Windshield wipers not automatically working 7. Hole in carpet on driver's side 9. Being locked out on several occasions, the alarm switches were not working, and the key would not open the door. 10. The transmission gear box has been replaced, because the transmission jerks, and there was a ticking sound coming from the gear box. 11. The car would not start; they had to replace the battery. I am having the car towed tomorrow for the following reasons: 1. Ticking in the engine 2. The check engine light keeps coming on 3. Abs system malfunction light comes on 4. There was an excessive amount of brown "stuff" leaking from under my car yesterday. 5. When I got in the car and cut on the heat, I did not have any heat. 6. The car would not start, three times in a row...then it just started up 7. The car will not allow you to take the key out of the ignition although this is an entry level jaguar, the car does not have that many miles on it, and it should not be giving me these major problems...especially the same issues over, and over again. *nm updated 07/16/2012 *js information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6)
