In March of this year I bought a 2002 Jaguar X-type 3. 0 sport with only 40,123 miles on it. Since then I have only put on six thousand miles. Just last week my transmission suddenly went into high revs on upshifts and sever jerks and then failure. All in one day with no warning at all. The vehicle has expired its factory warranty only by time and not mileage. I find this unacceptable, especially at the response of, that will cost about $7,000 to fix. That's half the value of the car! I have contacted Jaguars' USA customer service center in NJ three times and they will not stand behind their product and will not offer any assistance what so ever. I basically got a, sorry, and such is life response. I am currently waiting to speak with a supervisor. I have been searching the internet and have found numerous reviews and comments of exactly the same problem, the transmission failure. Some have commented on failure at 15,000 miles 35,000 miles 40, and 50 thousand miles. The comments are all the same and not hard to find, I cannot understand how this is not acknowledged and fixed. I cannot afford to fix my car, I have nothing else to drive, and I would lose so much just to trade it in on another car. I can supply many, many complaints of the same problem at the drop of a hat. I feel legal action is necessary to fix this problem. Please help the hard working common man.

I have owned my 2002 X-type since April of 04 and it was purchased from crown Jaguar as a certified pre-owned car. Like many other compliants to this site and others my transmission failed with 115,000 miles. While I'm lucky compared to some owners I'm still amazed that it would fail so quickly. The cost of the repair is 7k. Hopefully someone will look at this problem because a lot of people are getting the short end of the stick with Jaguar.

At only 46,000 miles, vehicle suffered catastrophic transmission failure, resulting in estimates ranging from $8000 (Jaguar rebuilt) to $3000 (local rebuild) for repairs. Car was, according to dealer, out of warranty by registration date, leaving me with the entire rebuild bill. Jaguar knows about the problem of X-type transmissions failing and refuses to address the situation. Emails and letters sent to Jaguar hq have all gone unanswered. Since I received the vehicle, the transmission has been replaced, headlight washer covers have both blown off during use, sunroof has failed, both front seats rock (Jaguar has a TSB out on this but fails to recall), mysterious dsc failures and many fit and finish issues (dash pad warping, paint issues, etc. ).

This regards transmission failure of 2002 x type with 62,000. I am original owner and have had error messages and lurching from the transmission, with Jaguar returning the vehicle indicating no problems. The internet is full of complaints with low mileage and complaints like mine.

A light on the dash indicated a transmission or engine failure and the car had trouble going more than 30 miles per hour. I immediately went to a mechanic who said I had a transmission failure. The car only had 38000 miles so this was very unexpected. It was just out of warranty by 2 months. Jaguar cars agreed to pay half of the cost of replacing the transmission with a refurbished transmission, my share was $3304. Based on internet postings I have read from other owners of this vehicle I suspect this could be a known safety defect and I believe an investigation may be warranted.

Experienced two major failures. The initial failure involved the shearing off of one of the left suspension components. Resulted in steering failure. Fortunately, I was only going 20 mph and was able to stop before further damage incurred. $4500 in repairs to front end/suspension--covered by local dealer/Jaguar. The second failure involved transmission failure at speeds of 40 - 70 mph. Happily, when taken to the dealership, it left them stranded on the street. This resulted in the recommendation of a new transmission at $6500 on a component not due to require service for another 30,000 miles. (car had 69,000 miles. ).

I have had this car, 2002 Jaguar X-type for less than 3 years. Over this time,. There have been several failures with the electrical system. The car only has 62,917 miles, and now the transmission has failed. This occured on a rainy night, and I barely got to my street before the car totally stopped moving. I have contacted Jaguar corporate to ask them to stand behind their vehicle. They seem to build this car to last only 3 years. All they offered was a $1,000 discount on a bill of $8,150. 00.

While driving the vehicle's transmission failed. The consumer indicated that the transmission was replaced, however two weeks later it failed again. Please provide any additional information.
