2002 Jaguar X-Type Reviews - Page 8 of 15

Having truck latch replaced. Otherwise, has been the epitome of a dependable, trustworthy vehicle.

Beautiful, sexy, fast, unmistakably Jaguar. This is the 3rd Jaguar I've owned, undeniably the best. Back seats small, dash switches plastic... but hey, who cares? It's a dependable Jaguar with tons of style and panache.

HINT: Get a reputable CERTIFIED Jaguar mechanic to assist you with general maintenance. The car is basically bullet proof, but someone with proper knowledge and experience can save you from very costly repairs.

My mom's 2002 Jaguar X-Type 2.5 was bought new in 2002. There have been many problems so far (dashboard clips, power steering repairs, all wheel-drive repairs, etc.) and now the transmission is out and the car has only 21,000 miles on it. The dealer wants $6000 for a new transmission. What a piece of garbage!

After driving my car for 2000 miles I had to take it to the dealer for a check engine light. It took me 3 more visits to get the car fix.

The first year, I made several complains due to squeaky noises coming from the front brakes, soon after 10,000 mile, I was told to replace the brakes spend $1,200

At 22,000 miles took the car back for a fuel tank replacement

At 43,000 miles car overheated (towed) due to a faulty thermostat

The front speaker no longer works, I will cost me $900 to replace speaker.

At 56,900 miles had to replace my transmission $ 5600 to fix.

There are so many complains about Jaguar Transmissions, this is safety issue.. Honda had a similar incident a few years back with less complains and offered a Voluntary Transmission Recall to Certain Honda and Acura Automobiles.

2002 Jag X type is the worst car on the market. I can't even begin to tell you the problems I've had with that car in one year. Transmission was the biggest problem at 30,000 miles then locks, then the sun/moon roof just before getting rid of the nightmare the throtle sensor was about to go. My advice to anyone get rid of the car ASAP, things will keep going wrong.

The resale on this car is the worst!! all I can say is I strongly warn anyone NOT to get this car.

The only problem I have ever had is that the passenger airbag light stays on occasionally.

I was very apprehensive before buying this car, given the poor reputation of Jaguar, and having read some of the reviews.

There was slightly less that 20K miles on the car when I bought it, and I have slightly more than 30K on it now.

I am very happy with my purchase! I have not had one single problem with the car. It looks great and regularly receives compliments (usually from people who know nothing about cars!!).

I had the Volvo S80 before this, and while it was certainly quicker than the Jag, it certainly wasn't more comfortable. I have also had the E200 Merc, and I wouldn't put them in the same ballpark.

It is a bit heavy on juice, especially around town, but given that I don't do much mileage, this isn't a problem.

I can't comment on the main dealer as I get it serviced by a local non-franchised garage.

Overall, I would have no hesitation in recommending this car. While it is slow from a standing start, it will move well once it gets going.

I own a 2002 Jaguar X-Type 3.0L automatic.

I received a gearbox fault while I was driving back home, which is a little off two hours away. Half way the fault came on, the car jerked and luckily the transmission didn't go completely. I stopped the car, turned it off and referred to my manual. Well after I noticed that nothing really said anything about it in the manual, I decided to try to drive it again. It started to accelerate, but slowly as if I were starting off in second or third gear. The shop informed me I have to replace my entire transmission.

Need new suspension as well. Shocks are done.

Great car aside from these transmission problems; definitely think a recall should be made on the 02/up X-Type automatic Jaguars.
