I HAVE A 2002 JAGUAR X-TYPE EQUIPPED WITH PIRELLI P6 LOW PROFILE TIRES AND ALLOY RIMS. IN THE PAST 6 WINTER MONTHS, I HAVE EXPERIENCED 4 INCIDENCES OF SIDEWALL BUBBLES AND ONE SIDEWALL BLOWOUT.*AK I HAVE TALKED TO OTHER JAGUAR OWNERS REGARDING THESE TIRES AND FIND THAT THIS IS A COMMON FAILURE. I BELIEVE THAT THESE TIRES ARE FAILING EXCESSIVELY. I BELIEVE THAT THESE TIRES ARE A SAFETY PROBLEM. I BELIEVE THAT THEY ARE A MISAPPLICATION FOR THE SERVICE INTENDED. THE INCIDENT DATE LISTED IS THE LAST INCIDENT OF FAILURE.

JAGUAR HAS 40,000 L997 MODEL XK8 SOLD FOR $75,0000. NEEDS NEW ENGINE! DEALER WONT TAKE OF EXPENSE OF REPLACING IT. WEB SAYS THEY HAVE FAULTY TENSIONERS, AND CYLINDER LINERS. *LA

VEHICLE EQUIPPED WITH A LEVER ON THE CENTER CONSOLE TO ELECTRONICALLY SET THE EMERGENCY BRAKES RATHER THAN THE MORE TYPICAL SPRING LOADED FOOT PEDAL USED TO SET THE BRAKE. *PH THE CONSUMER WAS UNAWARE OF THIS UNTIL ONE DAY WHILE DRIVING AT 60 MPH ALL FOUR WHEELS LOCKED UP AND THE VEHICLE SKIDDED TO A STOP. *JB

VEHICLE RECENTLY PURCHASED USED FROM AUTO BROKER. SINCE PURCHASE, THERE HAS BEEN A VIBRATION SEEMINGLY ORIGINATING FROM THE RIGHT FRONT WHEEL AREA. DURING AN EXCEPTIONALLY WINDY DAY (30+ KNOT CROSSWINDS ON HIGHWAY), THE VIBRATION WAS STRONG ENOUGH TO MAKE ME QUESTION MY ABILITY TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE. I ASSUMED THIS WAS DUE TO TIRES OUT OF ROUND/BALANCE OR VEHICLE OUT OF ALIGNMENT SO PURCHASED 4 NEW TIRES AND HAD VEHICLE ALIGNED. VIBRATION IS STILL NOTICEABLE ALTHOUGH NOT NEARLY AS STRONG AS BEFORE. STILL NOTICE THAT WHEN STRONG GUSTY CONDITIONS ARE IN THE AREA THAT THE VIBRATION INCREASES ACCORDINGLY. POSSIBLY RELATED CONDITION IS THAT WHEN SUNROOF IS OPEN AND VIBRATION OCCURS I CAN HEAR A STRUMMING SOUND LIKE THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE AERODYNAMICS OF THE VEHICLE.

I OWN A JAGUAR 2000 S. I BOUGHT IT IN AUGUST 2003. I LOVED THE CAR AND IT WORKED GREAT. ON APRIL 11, 2004, I PARKED MY CAR ON A SLIGHT INCLINE WITH THE PARK BREAK ON. THE CAR WOULD NOT SHIFT OUT OF PARK. WHILE TRYING TO SHIFT INTO REVERSE, THE GEAR SHIFTER BROKE. I WAS STRANDED WITH MY TWO CHILDREN. MY CAR WAS TOWED TO JAGUAR DEALERSHIP IN PORTLAND, OREGON. THEY PUSHED ON BACK OF THE CAR TO GET IT TO SHIFT. THE CAR IS ON WARRANTY, SO THEY REPLACED THE SHIFTER. I WAS TOLD THE ONLY REMEDY WAS TO USE THE PARK BREAK WHILE USING THE FOOT BREAK, BEFORE SHIFTING INTO PARK. I FEEL THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. WE ARE HUMAN AND FORGET TO APPLY OUR PARKING BREAK BEFORE SHIFTING INTO PARK. NOW, TONIGHT, APRIL 26; IT HAPPENED AGAIN. WE WERE PARKED ON A HILL. MY HUSBAND HAD HIS FOOT ON THE BREAK, DID NOT REMOVE IT FROM THE BREAK AND PUT IT IN PARK WITHOUT USING THE PARK BREAK. WE WERE STUCK AGAIN. JAGUAR TOLD US TO GIVE THE CAR A PUSH FROM BEHIND TO SHIFT IT OUT OF PARK; IT WORKED. HOW EMBARRASING TO HAVE TO PUSH A CAR FROM BEHIND, AND HOW DANGEROUS TO PUSH A CAR UP A HILL TO GET IT TO GO INTO REVERSE. IF THE CAR ROLLED BACKWARDS FOR ANY APPARENT REASON, IT WOULD HAVE KILLED /OR INJURED MY HUSBAND AND BROTHER-IN-LAW. I FIND THIS UNACCEPTABLE. I DO NOT WANT TO BE STRANDED WITH MY CHILDREN, JUST BECAUSE I FORGOT TO PUT ON MY EMERGENCY BRAKE ON OR DID NOT USE IT "CORRECTLY." IT IS DANGEROUS FOR A WOMAN WITH CHILDREN TO BE PUT IN THIS VULNERABLE SITUATION WHERE A "MAN" MIGHT NOT BE PRESENT TO GIVE THE CAR A BOOST UP THE HILL. I AM VERY FRUSTRATED AND DISAPPOINTED. I NO LONGER WANT MY BEAUTIFUL CAR. I FEEL STUCK. I COULD NOT SELL THIS CAR IN GOOD CONSCIENCE.*AK
