1 Steering problem of the 2001 Jaguar S-type

Failure Date: 09/01/2020

At 77600 miles the car has had all the bushings and ball joints in the front steering to a point that it's swaying so much it's challenging to stay in the lane when encountering any imperfection on the road. Experiencing loud clicking and clunks and fear that if this develops any further the wheels will fall off. This VIN is apparently not included in this well known problem so would be covered under a recall. With the vehicle l lifted I can easily move the control arm about half an inch. This will cause the bolt to break off very soon with how quickly it has deteriorated.

2 Steering problem of the 2004 Jaguar S-type

Failure Date: 06/20/2017

While on the expressway while coming to a stop my car switched into reverse on its own while it was in the drive. The car began to drive backwards almost causing a major crash on i64 east in virginia. This nearly resulted in me losing my life as well as passengers and other drivers. The car also has an automatic parking lock engaging error which locked my entire car and prevented me from driving. This also occurred and nearly a week ago in drive thru a week ago. While in the drive thru the car locked in park and would not allow me to drive. Unfortunately, I had to pay to have my car towed from a mcdonalds drive thru around 2:00am due to the parking lock error. Also there is an issue with the transmission that does not allow the car to catch. This I believe is the reason the car is able to slip gears in to reverse which is very dangerous. Initially I thought the issues with the car may have been a result of something I was doing. But after researching I saw that there are as many as 10 recalls for my car year and model. I was able to easily identify that my car had the exact problems listed.

In the 1 1/2 years that I have owned my vehicle it has been int he shop 15 times for various reasons: electrical, transmission, front end problems, steering, accelerations etc. . . Jaguar has been dragging their feet for 4 months in rectifying problems. Consumer affiars is worthless and have accused me of "outgrowing" my car. Not concerned about their customers just doesn't want their car back.

6 Steering problem of the 2002 Jaguar S-type

Letter sent in response to the letter forwarded from lorraine gubernik with Jaguar cars dated Aug. 25. Consumer noticed a distinct shimmy in the steering wheel when the vehicle reached approx. 64 mph or greater. Consumer took the vehicle to the dealership for repairs along with other concerns. When the consumer picked up the vehicle, he noticed only one of the few items were addressed. The consumer made another appointment at which time the other minor problems were addressed. The shimmy in the steering wheel still existed. The mechanic then recommended driving it for a week letting the tires/car warm up hoping the shimmy would dissipate. The consumer agreed with the understanding that if it didn't work, he would take further steps to correct the problem. The shimmy didn't go away, in fact, it was occurring at speeds between the low 40's to mid 60's. New wheels were ordered and placed on the vehicle. This didn't correct the problem either. Consumer requested another Jaguar with all the same componets to replace his vehicle that he feels couldn't be repaired. The consumer was told the steering rack would be replaced, however the dealership continued to give the consumer the run a round regarding the availability of the part.
