2000 Jaguar S-Type review from North America
"This nightmare won't end, hate this car!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Front end falling apart.
Cooling system leaks a lot.
Poor heat, tends to run cooler.
Sunroof doesn't work at all.
DSC system failure.
Just about every light on in dash & changes daily.
Poor gas mileage; no terrible 6mpg!
Not a smooth running car, can feel bumps in the road.
Some days it just won't start; others it will.
Parts are extremly overpriced, paying for jag quality and getting FORD parts. $9.00 per lug nut.
So much more, too many problems to list them all.
General comments?
There has not been a single day since I've purchased this car that I have not regretted it. The first couple months of ownership were almost entirely spent at the repair garage. I've spent thousands to fix a problem that exists to this day. Just cannot wait for the day to see it gone. Not to mention how much the value dropped since purchase.
