2002 Jaguar X-Type 3.0 review from North America
"It should have a recall for this transmission"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
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.
General comments?
Great car aside from these transmission problems; definitely think a recall should be made on the 02/up X-Type automatic Jaguars.
