1 Front Suspension Upper Ball Joint problem of the 2001 Jaguar S-type

Failure Date: 08/15/2006

Car only had 36,000 miles @ beginning of problems. Car began jerking hard to the left. I almost hit an 18-wheeler head-on. I just heard that a recall exists on the suspension, ball joints, etc. This is weird, since I have had the car back to the shop @ least 5 times, and none of this was fixed. People could have been killed. I have filed a consumer complaint. Hopefully, Jaguar will correct this problem, before someone is hurt. My car is undriveable at this time.

While driving a loud noise came from the front the right front passenger side wheel sheared off. Driver was able to maintain control of the vehicle, and pulled over to the shoulder. Vehicle was towed to the dealer, and mechanic determined that the left and right upper and lower ball joints needed to be replaced.

3 Front Suspension Upper Ball Joint problem of the 2001 Jaguar S-type

Failure Date: 11/01/2004

Very loud "clunk" noise is heard in the wheels when driving, and I am told it's the ball joint/suspension that's the culprit. Have yet to have this problem fixed but I understand it's a very dangerous problem that could cause accident if this portion breaks.
