2001 Jaguar S-Type Suspension Problems

“My wife was nearly in an accident when she lost control of her 2001 Jaguar S-Type today. While driving she heard a loud noise come from the front and the left drive side front tire sheered off. The state trooper told her that ball joint attached to the wheel assembly had come loose and as a result the vehicle could not be driven. When we got home we found that there was a recall on this vehicle with a VIN prior to l92349.”

“My vehicle was taken to the dealership it was purchased for an AC repair in september. I was then informed that both front control arms and both ball joints needed replacing immediately for $3,000! I went home and checked online to find that my car had a recall issued (recall #6434) for the exact items I was now being told to replace. I am the original owner and never received any correspondence regarding this recall and I still reside at the same address. …”

“Jaguar 2001 S-Type had a severe steering problem in october 2008. I took it to an alignment specialist who concluded that it could not be safely driven at all, until the front lower steering arm,sway bar link, steering knuckle and tie rod were replaced. In november 2000, shortly after manufacture, Jaguar recalled all vins of this model and year from l00001 to l92349. My vehicle has a VIN outside this range, so was not part of recall. …”

“My Jaguar's front end ball joints failed, with hardly any miles on the car. The car is a 2001 and there is a recall for the front end ball joints. Jaguar says my VIN number is not included in the recall and refuses to pay for the repairs.”

“In 2001, the year I bought the car I had a crash where I lost the complete control of the car. I just read that there was a recall of suspension:front:control arm:lower ball joint which can cause the crash. I am certain that this caused my crash and due this I was under enormous tension for 6 - 8 months. My car was in body shop for 6 months which caused me lot of problems in my day to day life.”
