2001 Jaguar X-Type review from North America
"Disappointed, disgusted"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Engine Malfunction light still on after 5 trips and over $1000.00 to dealer.
I have taken my car back to the dealer (which car is still under warranty) 5 times and each time I am told something different. I have replaced gaskets, points, battery, emmission blown out and still within a day or two from leaving the dealership the light appears. My last visit I was told that it is the catalytic convertor and this would cost me an additional 1200.00. Needless to say, I am currently driving my car with the light on. I don't want to continue to pay for someone apparently guessing at what is wrong.
General comments?
I love the look of the car. I have always wanted to own a Jaguar. However, I have always purchased a new vehicle about every 5 years and have never experienced this kind of a problem where the dealership or warranty will not help.
