“I parked the car on a hill last week and couldnt get the car out of park. I had to have some buddies rock the car to get it out of park into reverse. The vehicle hasnt rode the same since. It doesnt go into drive as smoothly and the car also revs at higher rpms than average before switching into the next gear.”
NHTSA complaint #10428414, filed 2011-10, 127,000 miles“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. …”
NHTSA complaint #10694743, filed 2015-03, 110,345 miles“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.”
NHTSA complaint #10251882, filed 2008-12, 32,000 miles“When my car has been parked for over four hours or so, I can't move it (gear)out park to get it in gear to drive. If I wait for three minutes or so it shifts fine.”
NHTSA complaint #10488831, filed 2012-12, 77,350 miles“Bought S-Type back in october 2006, since then car has been costing me a lot of money. Transmission get stuck in park at driveway with low inclination, even with the parking brake on before shifting to park. Had cable replaced and didn't fix the problem, cost me 350.00. I believe that a recall was in order for the number of affected vehicles that I had noticed complaining of it at the NHTSA website, or maybe somebody in government was not doing his/her job protecting the consumer's rights against greedy corporations.”
