THIS IS CRAZY I SEE ALL THESE COMPLAINTS THROUGH THE YEARS ABOUT THE 2000 S TYPE JAG ALL HAVE THE SAME PROBLEMS.. WHY HASN'T THERE BEEN A RECALL I JUST RECENTLY EXPERIENCED THE SAME THING WHERE I HAD TO HAVE MY CAR TOWED WHEN I FIRST NOTICED IT WAS RIGHT AFTER I BOUGHT THE CAR IN 2012.NOW IT'S BEEN ALMOST GOING TO 3 YEARS AND I'M HAVING A THIS PROBLEM WAS NOT BEING ABLE TO SHIFT INTO DRIVE IN A PARK POSITION OR EVEN SWITCH FROM REVERSE WHEN I'M PARKED ON THE INCLINE THIS IS RIDICULOUS, I CAN'T EVEN DRIVE MY CAR. NOW WITH ALL THE COMPLAINTS THAT I'VE BEEN READING ABOUT THE JAGUAR S-TYPE IT MAKES ME FEEL LIKE JAGUARS NOT CONCERNED ABOUT THEIR SAFETY ISSUES WHILE BUILDING SUCH A PRESTIGIOUS AND VERY EXPENSIVE AUTOMOBILE THERE MAY CONCERN WAS GETTING IT OUT IN THE SHOWROOM TO SELL FOR THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS NOT INCLUDING THE EXPENSIVE REPAIRS THAT IT TAKES TO MAINTAIN A JAGUAR.IT SEEMS TO ME THE JAGUAR DEALERSHIPS BE WILLING TO STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT AS WELL AS ACCOMMODATE THE SAFETY...

I WAS PULLING INTO A STALL AT THE TREASURE COAST MALL WHEN WE HEARD A LOUD THUD WHEN I GOT OUT TO SEE WHAT IT WAS I SEEM THAT THE TIRE WAS LEANING IN AND PUSHED UNDER THE FENDER.I THEN HAD TO CALL A TOW TRUCK AND FOUND OUT LATER THAT THE LEFT FRONT BALL JOINT COMPLETELY SNAPPED OFF AND THE RIGHT SIDE WAS BADLY WORN AND LOOSE AND ALSO HAD TO BE REPLACED. I JUST HATE TO THINK WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF THAT WOULD HAVE HAPPEND ON THE HIGHWAY ME AND MY WIFE WERE VERY SHAKEN UP. THE CAR ONLY HAS 47000 + WHICH SEEMS REALLY STRANGE FOR THIS TO HAPPEN. *TR
