The Whole upper control arm came off due to the recall on the right upper suspension in the front...I reported this when it happened may 2022 and no response or help from the jaguar company by that time I could not afford to get it out of impound because I was in the parking lot of the government post office right by the Evansville police station

#11246727 | POWER TRAIN | | 131,000 miles
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 JAGUAR S-TYPE. WHILE DRIVING 50 MPH, THE VEHICLE DECELERATED TO 15 MPH INDEPENDENTLY. THE CONTACT PULLED THE VEHICLE OVER AND TURNED OFF THE ENGINE. ONCE RESTARTED, THE VEHICLE RESUMED NORMAL OPERATION. THE FAILURE RECURRED AND THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO TWO INDEPENDENT MECHANICS WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE DRUM ON THE TRANSMISSION WAS FAULTY. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE OCCURRED IN JANUARY OF 2019 AND THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED SINCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 131,000. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN.
#11193430 | FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM | | 100,000 miles
THE CAR JUST CROSSED THE 100,000 MILE MARK AND I PUT GAS IN, CAR WAS ON EMPTY AND TURNED OFF, AND AFTER ABOUT SEVEN GALLONS OF GAS, GAS STARTED COMING OUT FROM UNDER THE CAR. I READ ABOUT THE SAME PROBLEM ( SAFETY RECALL # 06V418000) IN THE 2005 JAGUAR S TYPE, THAT SEEMS TO BE EXACTLY WHAT THIS 2000 S TYPE IS DOING. DEALER SAYS THAT THERE IS NO RECALL MATCHING MY V.I.N. , I FEEL LIKE ITS A SAFETY ISSUE AND SHOULD HAVE BEEN RECALLED.
