2000 Jaguar S-Type Sport review from North America
"Beautiful, but too many mechanical defects"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
ALL 4 window regulators failed; 1st at 17000 miles, next at 18000, next at 19000, last at 21000.
Coolant overflow tank cranked at 16000 miles.
Ashtray closure has broken twice.
Dash sliding storage compartment won't open.
Driver's seat is badly cracked and worn.
Chrome wheels corroded and rusted after 2 years.
2 batteries replaced, 1 under warranty.
General comments?
I have been misled, lied to and denied any satisfaction from either Jaguar USA or the local dealership. I will never buy another Jaguar or take my car which has only 21000 miles to a Jaguar dealership. If I had the energy or know how, I would take them to court. They count on owners not having the time or expertise to sue them. A class action lawsuit should be filed against them.
It is a great looking car, sapphire blue with 17" chrome sport wheels.
