Wheel Rim Problems of Jaguar X-type

In summer of 2007, took 2003 X-type to repair shop. All four tires had slits in the side walls wide enough to insert dimes and have them stay there. Repair shop replaced tires and said rim too large, tire sidewall too small for weight of car. Replaced tires at cost, because I am long time customer. On 9/9/07 had spontaneously sidewall blowout on driver rear tire on I-695 in baltimore on I-95 exit ramp. Sidewall had a hole 3 inches in diameter. I had to drive to rest area. Repair shop owner said he would sell car if he were me or replace rims with smaller ones. Said tire too badly too damaged by driving after blowout to get replacement.

Aluminum wheels dent easily allowing air leakage from tires. These are the sport wheels on the jag X-type model. I ran over a deer carcass in road and the right front passenger side tire deflated and came off the rim as the car was traveling 70 mph. The car spun out of control and $17. 000 of damage was incurred. After the accident it was noted at actually all the wheels had small dents and they all needed to be replaced. Regular tires and wheels were purchased. Tires were made by continental. Aluminum wheels were standard on sports model.

Tires continually blow out due to defective rims.

My 2003 leased Jaguar was recently serviced at 19,000 miles. My front tires were losing air and asked the service department find out why. I was told the front rims were bent and the tires were worn on the inside. This is not covered under warranty. This car was recalled once and I had to be towed twice due to problems with the air conditioning not working properly due to manufacturer problem and the radiator's clamp coming loose, which is also a manufacturer problem. At 19,000 miles bent rims and new tires are obsured.

While driving the rims will bend upon hitting pot holes in the street or highway which damages the tires. They will go flat. The consumer stated that he has bent two rims already. The consumer stated that the rim is to soft.

My 2003 X-type Jaguar has gone through 5 bent wheels and approx 9 tires. Jaguar is not honoring the warranty and claims it was caused by road hazards. This all happend at different times in the last 1 1/2 years. The car was never driven off road or in pot holes or unreasonable deviations in the road. The cost to repair is over $4700 plus I am paying for a rental car at $20/day.

While driving at any speed there was severe vibration in front and rear. The vehicle was taken to dealership, and technician determined that rims were bent. Previous to diagnosis, consumer replaced one of the rear rims which was bent. A total of five rims replaced and the tires were replaced because they weren't suitable for the rims.

The vehicle hit something in the road which caused the rims to crush and the tires to deflate. The tires and rims were replaced and aligned. This happened twice before.

While driving over 55 mph there was severe vibration in the steering wheel. Dealer told the consumer to put different rims and tires on the vehicle. Consumer replaced the tires and rims, but the problem recurred.
