general problems of the 2002 Jaguar X-type

When driving the engine will shut-off without any warning with loss of power steering. Will not restart. This has happened 3 times - the first time was around sept. 13. Car has been towed 3 times. I was told the computer box was "filled with about a 100 codes and were erased and the car should be fine". The mechanic has extensive Jaguar experience. I have only driven this car about 100 miles since the first incident to the present date. (I was afraid to drive this car much because I do not know when the problem will occur). On 4-21-04 the problem occurred again and I was unable to steer the vehicle (at a pedestrian industrial intersection) and my family was in the car. I researched the internet and this is a common problem with the 2002 Jaguar X-type. This car is dangerous to drive and a danger to the public, myself and to my family. I have owned this car since new and never abused. It needs to be recalled and the problem fixed before someone is killed! updated 05/20/14.

The engine would quit running, usually when turning right and usually while bouncing over a bump. The car would sometimes show codes relating to the transmission, cylinder misfiring, or the security system failing. Sometimes no codes at all would be stored, and sometimes the car would start back up on its own after a brief moment. Other times it was un-drivable. The underlying issue turned out to be the positive battery cable supplying the fuse box was rubbing against a transmission mount bolt head and grounding out.

The contact owns a 2002 Jaguar X-type. While driving approximately 20-25 mph, the fuel level indicator failed. The vehicle was taken to a local repair facility where it was determined that the fuel sending unit had failed and the fuel gauge would need to be replaced. In addition, when activating the air conditioner, the engine mount warning light would intermittently illuminate on the warning panel. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer for the failure. The vine was not available. The failure mileage was 110,000 and the current mileage was 130,000.

2002 X-type Jaguar 2. 5 was recently repaired due to malfunctions associated with fords 2002 Jaguar gear box, transmission, heater core, cylinder heads all needed to be serviced. The 2002 Jaguar seems to be a lemon straight from the factories that this car was manufactured. Would like some acknowledgement and answers to be addressed by Ford.

1. 5 yrs with gear box fault/abs brake lights & check engine-car constantly shut off while driving very dangerous. Code that came up catalytic converter, on the Jaguar X-type 02. Dealer won't honor the 8 yrs. Change all the sensors including brakes, had the transmission rebuilt and fixed the 2 leaks, got a full tune up, everything was ok for 4day before all the lights came up again. Still same problems cont. . . Sat. I hit a pot hole while driving at night. The care went dead. Got it start moments later but car lights would not come back on and transmission would not operation except in reverse. . . . I can not drive at night because the car head lights shuts down the car whenever I turn it on. This cars spends more time in the shop than the road. Help what do I do? I financed this car and I'm constantly spending, and spending to stay up but I am slowly loosing this battle.

While driving engine exploded. As a result, the windows began to fog up. The cause has not been determined.
