2002 Jaguar X-Type from North America - Comments

"Great looking car, but I hope you don't need to drive it.."

What things have gone wrong with the car?

At 6000 miles, the thermostat stuck on the freeway, it over-heated and blew the hoses.

At 11000 miles, the car would not go into reverse. Transmission had to be replaced.

At 16000 miles, the transmission is leaking and I'm bringing it back to the dealership for service.

This car has had many problems that have not been fixed since the day I purchased it, such as the gear shift clicking and moving when the brake is applied. Go figure that.

Also, the trunk never closes the properly. Too top this awful car off, The transmission slips at least once, every time you drive the car.

General comments?

I purchased my 2002 X-type two years ago. It's been to the Jaguar repair place, lets see, tomorrow will be 4 times. This time I have to have it towed from Staten Island.

Six months after purchase, the transmission was replaced and the trunk wouldn't close. This time as I'm driving, the red oil indicator light flashed and the car conks out. Towed to local repair station to get it off the street, now to Jersey.

Local mechanic suspects big engine trouble.

From your fellow Jaguar driver.
