2002 Jaguar X-Type Fuel system Problems

“Went to gas up my 2002 Jaguar X-Type 2.5 when totally empty and gas shot back out and spilled all over the place. Tried three different gas stations with the same effect. Check engine light came on, indicating a problem with the gas tank. I can't gas my car and there is the safety hazard of gas shooting back out. Dealer won't cover it and there are no second hand parts or individual parts, have to replace whole gas tank and filler system costing me $1750.”

“This car has been a disappointment since day one. I bought this off lease from bournival lincoln/mercury in july 2005. Since then...first was the constant condensation of the windows...something about heater core and seals needed to be replaced. Then the check engine light kept coming on, drive 115 miles to the jag dealer and be told nothing is wrong on multiple occasions. The sun room failed and had to be replaced. When this happened the passenger front seat belt would no longer pull out-completely inoperable. Next cam the chugging, chugging,go syndrome. …”

“The contact owns a 2002 Jaguar X-Type. While driving approximately 20-25 MPH, the fuel level indicator failed. The vehicle was taken to a local repair facility where it was determined that the fuel sending unit had failed and the fuel gauge would need to be replaced. In addition, when activating the air conditioner, the engine mount warning light would intermittently illuminate on the warning panel. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer for the failure. The vine was not available. The failure mileage was 110,000 and the current mileage was 130,000.”

“When applying the brake pedal, the brakes failed. The consumer was able to maintain control of the vehicle and pulled over. The vehicle was towed to a dealer for inspection. The mechanic informed the consumer that the brakes needed to be replaced. The bracket that held the pads had broken and currently the left rear wheel was damaged, there was also a gasoline smell, there was vibration and or metallic sound when the vehicle speed was over 45 MPH, and the navigation system broke. The consumer also had steering problems.”
