Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“At only 46,000 miles, vehicle suffered catastrophic transmission failure, resulting in estimates ranging from $8000 (Jaguar rebuilt) to $3000 (local rebuild) for repairs. Car was, according to dealer, out of warranty by registration date, leaving me with the entire rebuild bill. Jaguar knows about the problem of X-Type transmissions failing and refuses to address the situation. Emails and letters sent to Jaguar hq have all gone unanswered. …”
