2001 Jaguar S-Type review from North America
"Nightmare"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The heater and A/C never work, just like everyone says.
Anytime I go over a bump, it sounds like the bottom is going to fall out.
The window motor broke.
General comments?
I am scared to DEATH. I cannot afford a new car or to even repair this one. My kids talked me into buying it and I wish I bought the used Toyota I wanted. You can't kill a Toyota if you try.
To make matter worse, like everyone else says, the local dealer is the most HORRIFIC place to go to for repairs. They are just plain rude and uncaring.
In continuum with other comments, this was a dream car for me and it has become a nightmare.
I am all for the class action lawsuit that was mentioned by someone else. Let's go for it. The makers of the car don't care that we are all having the same problems.
