2003 Jaguar X-Type Transmission and drivetrain Problems

“While traveling on the interstate vehical's cruise control was activated when a gear box failure occured (this was the message displayed by the car), therefore resulting in the car stalling while going approx 55mph. The car was then stuck in the rear by another vehical that failed to notice my vehical slowing. I also exprienced a fuel gage eroor on 2/13/04 the fuel box was replaced by the dealer. All information is stored in onboard computer.”

“The car is a 2003 X-Type Jaguar with automatic transmission. Mileage is 50,139. Driving on interstate highway, the transmission produced a loud clanking sound and the engine began to race. This occurred 2 more times, so I exited the interstate and was able to pull into a shopping center parking lot. The transmission at this point would not downshift to accommodate the lower speed and remained in a high gear. After restarting and attempting to move the vehicle, reverse could not be engaged. The car was then towed 90 mile to my home Jaguar dealer who has serviced the car since new. …”

“I pulled intp a slot on a parking deck. When I tried to change the gear to park the car lunged forward crashing into a retaining wall. It was pushing against the wall so hard I was afraid I would go through the wall or over the wall. I was on the second level of the deck. When I put the car in reverse it sped backward and struck a car parked behind me. It then crashed into a concrete wall spun around and crashed the drivers door into a concrete piller it then straightened up and sped straight backward crashing into a 4 ft high wall where the engine cut off.”

“Plastic adjusters on headlights break when they become brittle leaving the lights aiming at the ground. Headlight bulbs constantly burn out. Amber light with cruise control not available has the affect of limiting the RPM to about 2800rpm, past this the engine quits and starts again under 2800rpm. Hold the accelerator down and the engine bucks on and off. This is dangerous as you cannot accelerate when you need to.”
