NHTSA Complaint #10377108 — 2003 JAGUAR X-TYPE

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. *TR
