2000 Jaguar S-Type Complaints

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 JAGUAR S-TYPE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE TIMING CHAIN FAILED ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE OF HIS VEHICLE WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH. HE COULD NOT MAINTAIN CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND ATTEMPTED TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER AND THEY STATED THAT THE HEAD NEEDED TO BE REMOVED. IN ADDITION, A COUPLE OF BENT VALVES NEEDED REPLACING AT THE COST OF $4,000. THE CONTACT STATED THAT HE WILL CALL THE MANUFACTURER. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 88,000.

I PURCHASED A JAGUAR S-TYPE FROM CHASE AUTO GROUP,INC.. I PAID 13,000 IN CASH AND THE 3,000 BY CHECK.. THE DEALER SOLD ME A LEMON CAR BECAUSE HE HYPED THE CAR AND TOLD ME THAT NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH THE CAR AND LOW AND BEHOLD THEIR WHERE ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS WITH THE CAR. THE CAR DASH BOARD LIGHTS DID NOT WORK AND THE RADIO'S LIGHT STAYED ON ALL THE TIME, AND IT DRAINED THE BATTERY THE CD PLAYER DID NOT WORK BECAUSE THEIR WAS NOT A CD PLAYER IN THE CAR AND WHEN I RETURNED THE CAR TO BE FIXED HE TOLD ME THAT HE WOULD ADD THE CD PLAYER AND FIX THE CAR AND ALL OF THE NECESSARY THINGS THAT NEEDED TO BE DONE TO THE CAR. I WENT BACK TO CHECK ON MY CAR, BECAUSE HE HAD NOT CALLED ME AND HE HAD SOLD MY CAR TO SOMEBODY ELSE. I TOLD HIM THAT I WANTED MY MONEY BACK AND HE REFUSED TO REIMBURSE ME FOR MY MONEY AND TOLD ME THAT HE COULD GIVE ME TWO CARS TO MAKE UP FOR MY LOST. I WANT ALL OF MY MONEY BACK THAT THIS COMPANY OWES ME. *TR

WHEN PARKED ON A HILL I AM NOT ABLE TO GET THE CAR INTO OR OUT OF PARK AND REVERSE I HAVE TO LITERALLY HAVE SOMEONE PUSH OR ROCK THE CAR TO GET IT OUT OF GEAR, BERGEN JAGUAR IN BERGEN NEW JERSEY SAID THIS IS A COMMON QUIRK WITH THE 2000 S TYPE JAGUARS WITH AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSIONS. *TR

I FINANCED A JAGUAR IN FEBRUARY 2008 AND HAVE HAD A PROBLEM FROM ALMOST THE BEGINNING WITH THE GEARSHIFT, GETTING OUT OF PARK WHILE ON THE SLIGHTEST INCLINE I'VE HAD TO GET OUT AND ROCK THE CAR JUST TO GET IT INTO REVERSE AND THIS IS ALL THE TIME. MORE RECENTLY I REVERSED OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY WITHOUT ANY PROBLEMS BUT, WHEN I TRIED TO PUT IT IN DRIVE IT WOULD NOT MOVE FORWARD, BACKWARD, OR ANYWHERE. I HAD IT TOWED TO THE CLOSEST JAGUAR DEALER WHO INITIALLY TOLD ME IT MAY JUST BE THE GEARSHIFT CABLE NEEDING TO BE ADJUSTED A $150 JOB I SAID OK THAT SOUNDS PRETTY GOOD BEING A FOREIGN CAR AND ALL. I GOT A CALL BACK AND HE SAID IT WAS THE REAR DRIVE SHAFTERS NEEDING TO BE REPLACED OK GOOD NOT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDING TO BE REPLACED........HOW MUCH? I ASKED, ABOUT $3200....FOR ABOUT $2000 MORE I CAN GET A WHOLE NEW TRANSMISSION, RIGHT? THIS IS RIDICULOUS AND I THINK THE JAGUAR MANUFACTURER SHOULD LOOK INTO THIS PROBLEM OR ATLEAST DO A RECALL I MEAN HOW MANY COMPLAINTS DOES IT TAKE..IT SHOULD...
