NHTSA Complaint #10185371 — 2002 JAGUAR X-TYPE

AT ONLY 46,000 MILES, VEHICLE SUFFERED CATASTROPHIC TRANSMISSION FAILURE, RESULTING IN ESTIMATES RANGING FROM $8000 (JAGUAR REBUILT) TO $3000 (LOCAL REBUILD) FOR REPAIRS. CAR WAS, ACCORDING TO DEALER, OUT OF WARRANTY BY REGISTRATION DATE, LEAVING ME WITH THE ENTIRE REBUILD BILL. JAGUAR KNOWS ABOUT THE PROBLEM OF X-TYPE TRANSMISSIONS FAILING AND REFUSES TO ADDRESS THE SITUATION. EMAILS AND LETTERS SENT TO JAGUAR HQ HAVE ALL GONE UNANSWERED. SINCE I RECEIVED THE VEHICLE, THE TRANSMISSION HAS BEEN REPLACED, HEADLIGHT WASHER COVERS HAVE BOTH BLOWN OFF DURING USE, SUNROOF HAS FAILED, BOTH FRONT SEATS ROCK (JAGUAR HAS A TSB OUT ON THIS BUT FAILS TO RECALL), MYSTERIOUS DSC FAILURES AND MANY FIT AND FINISH ISSUES (DASH PAD WARPING, PAINT ISSUES, ETC.).
