1 Transfer Case problem of the 2004 Jaguar X-type

Failure Date: 10/10/2016

First off, car had abs light on. Dealer replaced every abs component. Now engine and abs light are interchanging on and off. Believe to be a wiring fault. Also, transfer case has gone out twice in 2 years. I have heard from multiple sources that transfer cases fail often in these cars which I believe to be a manufacturers defect.

Was driving approximately 30mph on my way to the dealer for scheduled oil change and without any warning the car started making a grinding noise and stopped. It would not move forward or reverse. Managed to get the car to the side of the road and called the dealer for assistance. Upon inspection the dealer told me the car needed a transmission and transfer case because the internal gears were fragmented.

4 Transfer Case problem of the 2003 Jaguar X-type

Failure Date: 08/21/2010

2003 X-type Jaguar purchased in 2007. While driving the on the highway the dash lights for check engine and no cruise control came on. The thermostat needle quickly went to the limit on gauge. The car shut down with no control and had to pull off to side of road. 17" tires. All had to be replaced at one point or another as the rims are soft and dent or damages easily. Control arms have been replaced twice. Stereo system is not compatible with anything. The washer wipers are always clogged up. The radiator has overheated and has been replaced. I have had the transfer case completely replaced. Jaguar dealership said at one point the repairs would be close to $10,000. There is only 160,000 km on this car. It is unsafe. I cannot resell it to anyone. I am stuck with it till it dies and is paid for. Never buy this car. Everything imaginable is wrong with it and I can only drive it around town.

6 Transfer Case problem of the 2003 Jaguar X-type

Failure Date: 07/24/2008

The car is a 2003 X-type Jaguar with automatic transmission. Mileage is 50,139. Driving on interstate highway, the transmission produced a loud clanking sound and the engine began to race. This occurred 2 more times, so I exited the interstate and was able to pull into a shopping center parking lot. The transmission at this point would not downshift to accommodate the lower speed and remained in a high gear. After restarting and attempting to move the vehicle, reverse could not be engaged. The car was then towed 90 mile to my home Jaguar dealer who has serviced the car since new. Diagnostics show that the transfer case must be replaced, at a cost of $4000.
