2000 Jaguar S-Type review from North America
"I like it and enjoy driving it"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I too have had the problem with it getting stuck in park on an incline... several times to be exact, fortunately my ex-husband knew a few things about cars and told me how to correct it.
I have also had transmission trouble; I have to drive with my car in 3rd all the time or it won't move.
Lately I have noticed that if I am at a stoplight, the car will idle really low and die, so I have to keep my foot on the brake and the gas and give it gas if it starts to die.
It has 104,000 miles on it and I bought it in 2006, it had 79,000 when I bought it. As soon as I drove it home from the dealers, the check engine light came on and had to take it to the dealers, which was an hour and a half drive from me, while they fixed it. It ended up being the catalytic converter, thank goodness the dealer had to pay for that not me.
I do get lots of compliments on the car and I love it... I guess cars are like humans... we aren't all perfect, neither are cars.
