MY 2003 JAGUAR S-TYPE WAS RECALLED IN 2004, RECALL #42036 (R513) POWER TRAIN: AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. I PURCHASED MY JAGUAR AS THE SECOND OWNER 1 1/2 YEARS AGO. I HAVE HAD TROUBLE WITH THE CAR. FOR INSTANCE WHEN I ATTEMPT TO PASS ANOTHER VEHICLE ON THE HIGHWAY AND TRY TO SPEED UP THE TRANSMISSION SLOWS THE CAR DOWN SIGNIFICANTLY. IF I AM TRAVELING AT 55 M.P.H AND ACCELERATE THE CAR WILL IMMEDIATELY SLOW TO ABOUT 30 M.P.H OR LESS. IT IS VERY SCARY! AND COULD RESULT IN A CRASH (AS THE WARNING STATED ON THE RECALL)! THE REPAIR SHOP RAN A COMPUTER DIAGNOSTIC ON MY CAR. THE CODE ON THE COMPUTER STATES "THE TRANSMISSION NEEDS RE-PROGRAMMING OF THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE AS THE TRANSMISSION IS SLIPPING INTO NEUTRAL UNDER LOAD." THE SHOP SAID THERE WAS AN OPEN RECALL ON THE CAR AND THE DEALER NEEDS TO UPDATE THE COMPUTER SOFTWARE TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. THE CAR HAS NO STICKERS SAYING RECALL SERVICE WAS EVER DONE ON IT. THE DEALER SAID THEY CANNOT PERFORM THE SERVICE UNDER THE RECA...

MY VEHICLE ACCELERATE WHEN APPLYING BRAKES. TOOK IT TO A SHOP AND WAS TOOK SOMETHING WAS DEFAULTING WITH MY MASTER BRAKE CYLINDER AND THE BRAKE BOOSTER. COST NEARLY 1600 TO FIX. CAL THE MANUFACTURER ABOUT A RECALL RELATED TO THIS BUT WAS TOLD MY CAR WASN'T RELATED TO THE RECALL. *TR
