JAGUAR Complaints

ACCELERATOR AND BRAKE PEDAL ARE TOO CLOSE TOGETHER CAUSING ME TO DEPRESS BOTH PEDELS AT THE SAME TIME WHEN TRYING TO STOP CAR. DEALER ADVISED ME TO TAKE THIS COMPLAINT TO ANOTHER LEVEL SINCE THERE ARE NO REMEDIES AVAILABLE. *AK

THE CONSUMER IS HAVING TROUBLE MOVING THE GEAR FROM PARK TO DRIVE ESPECIALLY WHILE ON AN INCLINE. THE VEHICLE HAS TO BE MOVED OR SHAKEN FROM THE OUTSIDE IN ORDER TO RELEASE THE GEAR. THE CONSUMER TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER, BUT THE CAUSE WAS UNDETERMINED. *JB

AFTER SETTING THE CRUISE CONTROL WHILE GOING DOWN AN INCLINE CONSUMER WAS CITED BY A POLICEMAN FOR GOING 100 MPH. CONSUMER LATER CONTACTED THE MANUFACTURER. HE WAS TOLD THAT THE CRUISE CONTROL ONLY WORKED ON LEVEL GROUND NOT ON INCLINES. THE OWNER'S MANUAL SHOULD CONTAIN THIS.*AK....NOTHING IN THE MANUAL INDICATES THAT CRUISE CONTROL DOES NOT WORK ON DOWNHILL. THIS PROBLEM CAN CAUSE UNAWARE DRIVER'S SERIOUS ACCIDENTS.*AK

ALUMINUM WHEELS DENT EASILY ALLOWING AIR LEAKAGE FROM TIRES. THESE ARE THE SPORT WHEELS ON THE JAG X-TYPE MODEL. I RAN OVER A DEER CARCASS IN ROAD AND THE RIGHT FRONT PASSENGER SIDE TIRE DEFLATED AND CAME OFF THE RIM AS THE CAR WAS TRAVELING 70 MPH. THE CAR SPUN OUT OF CONTROL AND $17.000 OF DAMAGE WAS INCURRED. AFTER THE ACCIDENT IT WAS NOTED AT ACTUALLY ALL THE WHEELS HAD SMALL DENTS AND THEY ALL NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. REGULAR TIRES AND WHEELS WERE PURCHASED. TIRES WERE MADE BY CONTINENTAL. ALUMINUM WHEELS WERE STANDARD ON SPORTS MODEL. *JB

WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKE PEDAL, THE BRAKES FAILED. THE CONSUMER WAS ABLE TO MAINTAIN CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND PULLED OVER. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A DEALER FOR INSPECTION. THE MECHANIC INFORMED THE CONSUMER THAT THE BRAKES NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. *JB THE BRACKET THAT HELD THE PADS HAD BROKEN AND CURRENTLY THE LEFT REAR WHEEL WAS DAMAGED, THERE WAS ALSO A GASOLINE SMELL, THERE WAS VIBRATION AND OR METALLIC SOUND WHEN THE VEHICLE SPEED WAS OVER 45 MPH, AND THE NAVIGATION SYSTEM BROKE. *SC THE CONSUMER ALSO HAD STEERING PROBLEMS. *JB

VEHICLE STALLED INTERMITTENTLY. THERE HAD BEEN INCIDENTS WHERE VEHICLE DIED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD, AND CONSUMER LOST CONTROL OF STEERING AND BRAKES. NO INJURIES REPORTED. *AK

WHILE DRIVING CONSUMER NOTICED A PARKED VEHICLE ON THE HIGHWAY. CONSUMER TRIED TO AVOID HITTING THE VEHICLE BY MAKING A RIGHT TURN ONTO THE SHOULDER, BUT STEERING WHEEL FAILED. CONSUMER APPLIED THE BRAKES AND PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR. CONSUMER'S VEHICLE COLLIDED WITH THE OTHER VEHICLE. IT FLIPPED OVER THREE TIMES AND LANDED IN A DITCH. UPON IMPACT, DRIVER'S SIDE AIR BAG DID NOT DEPLOY, BUT PASSENGER'S SIDE AIR BAG DEPLOYED. DRIVER AND PASSENGER SUSTAINED HEAD AND BACK INJURIES, AND WERE TRANSPORTED TO THE HOSPITAL BY AMBULANCE. VEHICLE WAS TOWED AND TOTALED BY THE INSURANCE COMPANY. *AK

DOOR LOCKS SOMETIMES FUCNTION INCORRECTLY WHEN UNLOCKING. OCCASIONALLY ONLY THE PASSENGER DOOR WILL UNLOCK USING THE KEY FOB, SOMETIMES THE DRIVER'S DOOR WILL NOT EVEN UNLOCK W/O REPEATED PRESSES OF THE BUTTON.*AK

VERY LOUD "CLUNK" NOISE IS HEARD IN THE WHEELS WHEN DRIVING, AND I AM TOLD IT'S THE BALL JOINT/SUSPENSION THAT'S THE CULPRIT. HAVE YET TO HAVE THIS PROBLEM FIXED BUT I UNDERSTAND IT'S A VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM THAT COULD CAUSE ACCIDENT IF THIS PORTION BREAKS.*AK
