THIS IS CRAZY I SEE ALL THESE COMPLAINTS THROUGH THE YEARS ABOUT THE 2000 S TYPE JAG ALL HAVE THE SAME PROBLEMS.. WHY HASN'T THERE BEEN A RECALL I JUST RECENTLY EXPERIENCED THE SAME THING WHERE I HAD TO HAVE MY CAR TOWED WHEN I FIRST NOTICED IT WAS RIGHT AFTER I BOUGHT THE CAR IN 2012.NOW IT'S BEEN ALMOST GOING TO 3 YEARS AND I'M HAVING A THIS PROBLEM WAS NOT BEING ABLE TO SHIFT INTO DRIVE IN A PARK POSITION OR EVEN SWITCH FROM REVERSE WHEN I'M PARKED ON THE INCLINE THIS IS RIDICULOUS, I CAN'T EVEN DRIVE MY CAR. NOW WITH ALL THE COMPLAINTS THAT I'VE BEEN READING ABOUT THE JAGUAR S-TYPE IT MAKES ME FEEL LIKE JAGUARS NOT CONCERNED ABOUT THEIR SAFETY ISSUES WHILE BUILDING SUCH A PRESTIGIOUS AND VERY EXPENSIVE AUTOMOBILE THERE MAY CONCERN WAS GETTING IT OUT IN THE SHOWROOM TO SELL FOR THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS NOT INCLUDING THE EXPENSIVE REPAIRS THAT IT TAKES TO MAINTAIN A JAGUAR.IT SEEMS TO ME THE JAGUAR DEALERSHIPS BE WILLING TO STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT AS WELL AS ACCOMMODATE THE SAFETY ISSUES THAT ARE CLEARLY A DEFECT ON THE MANY FACTORS PART BECAUSE YOU WOULDN'T HAVE THAT MANY PEOPLE COMPLAINING ON A FORUM ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE THE SAME COMPLAINT.I DO REALIZE THAT MY JAGUAR IS NOW 15 YEARS OLD BUT IT STILL HAS A WHOLE LOT OF LIFE IN IT I HAVE A BEAUTIFUL JAGUAR. AND I LOVE IT I LOVE EVERYTHING ABOUT IT BUT THIS PROBLEM WITH THE GEAR BOX SHIFT TRULY NEED TO BE LOOKED INTO PLEASE DON'T WAIT FOR A DISASTER TO HAPPEN IN THESE CARS IF THE RECALL WILL REQUIRE THEM SPENDING MILLIONS IS SO BE IT BECAUSE WE AS A CONSUMER HAVE WORKED HARD IN ORDER TO GET THE CAR OF THEIR DREAMS AND THAT'S THE CASE FOR SOME PEOPLE.YOU WOULD THINK THAT TO BE DEALERS OF A JAGUAR WITH STAND FOR SOME TYPE OF INTEGRITY AND RESPONSIBILITY AND BE THE FIRST TO RECOGNIZE THE PROBLEM. *TR

Dec 14, 2012
I PARKED THE CAR ON A HILL LAST WEEK AND COULDNT GET THE CAR OUT OF PARK. I HAD TO HAVE SOME BUDDIES ROCK THE CAR TO GET IT OUT OF PARK INTO REVERSE. THE VEHICLE HASNT RODE THE SAME SINCE. IT DOESNT GO INTO DRIVE AS SMOOTHLY AND THE CAR ALSO REVS AT HIGHER RPMS THAN AVERAGE BEFORE SWITCHING INTO THE NEXT GEAR. *TR
Oct 04, 2011
PARKED ON A SLIGHT INCLINE AT THE BOBOPS IN ESTILL, SC AND THE CAR WOULD NOT COME OUT OF PARK, AFTER A FEW TRIES, THE GEAR FLOATED AND THE SHIFTER OBVIOUSLY HAD BROKEN. THIS REPAIR IS GOING TO RUN ME 2200 DOLLARS, JAGUAR SHOULD COVER THE TOTAL COST OF THIS AS WELL AS SHOULD HAVE ISSUED A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM YEARS AGO. *TR

I WORK FOR A AUTO SHOP AND HAVE A CUSTOMER THAT HAS A 2000 S-TYPE AND HAS HAD SOME ISSUES WITH IT. THE FIRST TIME I SAW THE CAR IT HAD A MISFIRE AND WAS MAKING A TICKING NOISE. AFTER PULLING THE ENGINE APART I FOUND THAT IT NEEDED THE TIME CHAIN TENSIONERS REPLACED. THE NEXT TIME THE CAR CAME IN IT HAD NO ACCELERATION AND CONSTANTLY SET THE FAULT CODE AIR ASSISTED FUEL INJECTION MOTOR FAULT. AFTER DISASSEMBLING THE ENGINE ONCE AGAIN, WE FOUND FELT PACKING MATERIAL IN THE INTAKE MANIFOLD THAT HAD CLOGGED THE #8 INTAKE PORT IN THE CYLINDER HEAD AND WE ALSO FOUND THAT THE TIMING CHAINS AND TENSIONERS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AGAIN. THE FELT PACKING COMES FROM THE CAR AND IS A DANGER THE ENGINE AND THE LACK OF ACCELERATION. THIS IS A DANGER AND CAN CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. *TR

COMMENT: MY WIFE HAS A 2000 JAG STYPE V8 4.0 THAT WE PURCHASED APROX 4 YRS AGO, BUT NOT FROM A JAG DEALER. THE CONNECTING ROD IN THE MOTOR WENT & A FEW MONTHS AGO I GOT A USED MOTOR TO REPLACE THAT ONE & TOOK IT ALL APART & REALIZED THAT THE SAME THING WAS WRONG WITH THAT ONE ALSO. THE #6 CYLINDERS & THE #1 WERE BOTH BAD. SO I GOT ANOTHER USED MOTOR & COULDN'T BELIEVE IT BUT THE EXACT SAME THING WAS WRONG WITH THAT ONE TOO. I CALLED A FRIEND OF MINE WHO OWNS A REPAIR SHOP TO SEE IF HE COULD GET ME A DEAL ON A NEW MOTOR & HE SAID THAT HE JUST HAD A JAG SAME YEAR MAKE & MODEL COME INTO THE SHOP WITH THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM. (NOW THAT'S 4 MOTORS WITHIN 10 MIN OF MY HOUSE THAT HAVE THIS ISSUE.) I STARTED THINKING THAT MAYBE THERE WAS SOME KIND OF RECALL OR DEFECT WITH IT. I WENT TO A JAG DEALER TO TALK TO SOMEONE ABOUT IT, & B/C I DIDN'T PURCHASE THE CAR FROM A JAG DEALER I PURCHASE IT PREOWNED THE DEALER SAID THAT THEY COULDN'T HELP ME & THAT THERE IS NO KNOWN ENGINE RECALLS THAT THEY KNEW OF. I REALLY DON'T KNOW WHERE ELSE TO TURN, THIS IS MY WIFE'S ONLY VEHICLE, & WE JUST CAN NOT AFFORD A BRAND NEW MOTOR FOR THIS CAR. DO YOU HAVE ANY SUGGESTIONS OR KNOW IF THERE ARE ANY RECALLS OR ISSUES WITH IT. I WOULD APPRECIATE ANY HELP YOU CAN GIVE ME. I ALSO SEARCHED ON THE INTERNET & THERE ARE A LOT OF PEOPLE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM & JUST DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO. WELL, THANK YOU. *TR

HOWEVER WHEN I TOOK IT TO THE JAGUAR DEALER TO GET REPLACED BECAUSE MINE IS DEFECTIVE THE DEALER TOLD ME MY VIN# WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. IS THERE A SPECIFIC REASONING BEHIND HAVING CERTAIN VIN#'S RECALLED AND NOT OTHERS? I WOULD REALLY APPRECIATE IF MY VIN CAN ALSO BE INCLUDED BECAUSE PER THE DEALER MY CAR IS IN SERIOUS JEOPARDY OF MALFUNCTIONING WHILE I'M DRIVING WHICH COULD END IN AN ACCIDENT THAT CAN CAUSE BODILY HARM UP TO AND INCLUDING DEATH. CAN YOU PLEASE RESPOND TO MY EMAIL REGARDING THIS ISSUE. *TR

ON MY 2000 S-TYPE 4.0 I HAVE HAD TWO TRANSMISSIONS REPLACED AND IS IN NEED OF A THIRD.

JAGUAR DEFINITELY IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM BUT OFFERS NO ASSISTANCE. I AM WILLING TO BET THERE IS SOME CORPORATE MEMO REGARDING HOW TO COVER THIS UP. *NM

I GOT A 2000 JAGUAR S-TYPE FROM AUTHORIZED DEALER ("SELECT EDITION") CONDITION ON JUNE 9, 2004. SON (DRIVER) AND HIS PASSENGER WERE BOTH BELTED JULY 2, 2004 DURING WHAT HE THOUGHT WAS A BLOWOUT. CAR STOPPED PERPENDICULAR (AFTER FULL SPIN) IN OPPOSITE LANE (FACING EAST) FROM WHICH IT HAD BEEN TRAVELING (NORTH). WHEEL SHEARED FROM AXLE/HUB ON RIGHT FRONT! CAR ON BARE RIGHT FRONT AXLE! MY HUSBAND AND I WERE AT SCENE IN MINUTES, WE REJOICED NO ONE WAS KILLED! NO ONCOMING TRAFFIC! SEAT BELTS WERE IMPORTANT AS MY SON STATE HE "JUST HELD ON." MY HUSBAND RECOVERED DEBRIS AND SHEARED WHEEL PLACING SAME INTO TRUNK. ONE OF THESE PARTS PROVED TO BE A BROKEN BRAKE, BUT NOT THINKING OF ANALYTICAL ISSUES AT THIS POINT---JUST THANKFUL THAT FATALITIES WERE NOT RESULT. UNBENDING RAIN WAITING FOR TOW TRUCK. THE NC PATROL ARRIVED AT ABOUT 11:30 PM AS THE CAR WAS BEING DRAGGED ONTO A WRECKER. THEY DID NOT LOOK AT SHEARED WHEEL OR ROTOR. THE CAR WAS TOWED JULY 3 TO THE JAGUAR DEALERSHIP. I VISITED DEALERSHIP ON MONDAY, JULY 5TH TO TAKE PICTURES WHEN GREG CARLETON (JAGUAR SERVICE WRITER) SHOWED ME BOTH SIDES OF THE WHEEL STATING THAT "WEAR ON THE RIMS IS WHAT YOU'D EXPECT" AND "THERE'S NOTHING YOU SEE THAT WOULD HAVE CAUSED THAT WHEEL TO COME OFF." HE (MR. CARLETON) PICKED UP THE BRAKE ROTOR AND HELD IT LIKE A KNIFE OVER AN OBVIOUS GASH INSIDE THE RIGHT FRONT WHEEL. IT SEEMED CLEAR THAT THE PART PIERCED THE ALLOY WHEEL. OBVIOUS IN THE LIGHT; WE WERE IN A QUANDARY WHEN IT OCCURRED. HE CALLED THE NEXT DAY JULY 6 TO SAY THAT "ALL PARTS WERE COVERED" UNDER WARRANTY, THAT THE FACTORY WOULD INVESTIGATE THE FAILURE. ANOTHER PERSON CALLED ON WED. JULY 7TH AND SAID "YOU MAY WANT TO CALL YOUR INSURANCE COMPANY". JAGUAR HAS SHIFTED FROM THEIR POSITION TO TEST PARTS. THERE WAS NOTHING: NOT A POTHOLE, NOT ANOTHER VEHICLE, BUT SEVERE DAMAGE THAT WAS A RESULT OF PART FAILURE. I HAVE REQUESTED JAGUAR TO LEAVE ALL PARTS IN THE TRUNK OF THE CAR. *AK

INCIDENT 1: THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS HAS FAILED AT LEAST 10 TIMES DURING A TWO YEAR PERIOD. I HAVE REPORTED THE INCIDENT TO THE MANUFACTURER AT LEAST 5 TIMES. SEVERAL OF JAGUAR FIELD SERVICE TECHNICIANS HAS TRIED TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM BUT WITH NO SUCCESS. AFTER EACH ATTEMPTS TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM, I WOULD CHECK THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS FOR THE NEXT COUPLE OF WEEKS TO MAKE SURE EVERYTHING IS OK BUT UNFORTUNATELY THEY FAIL AT THE MOST HAZARDOUS TIMES DURING STORMY, RAINY WEATHER CONDITIONS. INCIDENT 2: I WAS REAR-END IN THE CENTER LANE OF TWO MERGING MAJOR EXPRESSWAYS AND THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM COMPLETELY FAILED. IT TOOK THE DEALER 3 MONTHS TO GET THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM STARTED. INCIDENT 3: THE VEHICLE WILL ROLL WHILE IN DRIVE IF I AM ON AN INCLINE.*AK
