2001 jaguar s-type v-6. I receive an engine failsafe mode message on dash. The car hesitates and may stall while driving. Computer says it is the throttle body housing to throttle pedal unit (which has been replaced.) this occurs primarily in the morning when i first start driving and it will stay in this mode from 5 to 10 minutes then go to normal driving mode. The last time it stayed in the failsafe mode for about 30 minutes. Two mechanics "think it is the throttle body control but they cannot say for sure but in their opinion this is a part that fails on many jags. The failure is a real safety issue since you do not know when it can happen. At some stop lights it will just die in mid-turning of a corner. After replacing the throttle pedal which was one of the possible parts problems, it returned with the same problem after about a week. I cannot get any information from jaguar to see if this is an ongoing problem for jaguars. The only real information is on blogs and chat rooms on jag repairs. This has to be a design flaw that owners should not have to bear the burden of buying a $ 2000 part, especially if it is being ignored by the manufacturer.
While driving my 2001 jaguar s-type 3.0, the car sometimes shuts off, i could be on the interstate or on a secondary street the same thing happens.

I purchased a 2001 jaguar s-type less than a year ago.it has less than 70000 miles on it and while i am driving down the road the motor starts revving up and it won't shift....it says gearbox fault.apparently this is a common problem among this model of car.i was pulling out to make a left turn and was nearly hit because suddenly the car wouldn't go.how many complaints do you have to have to force a recall?i purchased this car because i thought it would be a safe dependable car.very poor craftsmanship!

Owner of a jaguar s-type 4.0, 2001, 54,000 miles : a warning light came up indicating "shift gear failure". The car was taken to the dealership as per their request to investigate the situation. After 3 days i was told that a new transmission was needed. I asked how a relatively new car, very well kept (every service was done on time and at the dealership) could have this major problem. I was told that this type of car frequently have this problems. Jaguar is replacing the transmission with a refurbished one for a cost of $2240.00 plus tax. What can i do to get some of this expense back. Do i have a valid claim ?it is just hard to see an expensive car like this have this type of problem and since the insurance expired (50,000 miles) just be told to take it or leave it. Actually i was told that jaguar was doing me a favor by providing such an inexpensive transmission that they tipically cost about $6,300.00.

My driveway has a very slight incline. When parked on the incline i was unable to get my car out of park unless i used force. In 2004 the gear started sticking. The dealer replaced the cable gear assembly.in july 2006 i had the car in drive but it started rolling backwards. I had to hold the gear in drive in order to drive the car. I drove it directly to the dealer where i had the gear assembly replaced again! it wasn't until the second gear assembly replacement that jaguar informed me that my car came with special instructions...if parked on an incline (slight or otherwise) i needed to engage the hand brake first before placing the car in park. On august 3, 2006 the lever gear shift went out and was replaced. So far, i've spent approximately $900 on issues related to the gear assembly. This is obviously a defect. At what point will jaguar take responsibility for this problem? when the car rolls back on a pedestrian!
After driving on a freeway in downtown la, arrived in a parking structure.suddenly after a big bang, the front left of car collapsed and stopped.it seemed that the bolt for front axle sheared off, and the component of the axle (a-rod?) pushed into the tire rim.two months ago the car seemed unstable during the driving at speed above 30 mph.the car was taken to the dealership in november (2000 miles before the incident).the dealer indicated that a bolt was loose and they tightened it up.historically, this car was taken to the dealer ship at numerous occasions for the reason of instability during the driving and each time we were told that there is nothing wrong with the car.the incident has resulted in significant damage and caused a release of gasoline leak.if this incident would have happened 10 minutes earlier, the car was being driven in a freeway at a speed of 60 mph.the sudden failure would have resulted in fatality and with the gasoline leak, it would have created a major distastour.the car has 37,000 miles and is jaguar s, v8.the tires are only two months old.the problem was recognized and the actions taken were inadequate and could have resulted in death, if occured 10 minutes earlier.the car has been purchased from and maintained by bauer jaguar in santa ana, california.

Making a left turn in a jaguar 2001 s type, the steering wheel lost all power and crashed into the median. Bounced off the median into the street and crashed into a passing vehicle.
At 77600 miles the car hashad all the bushings and ball joints in the front steering to a point that it's swaying so much it's challenging to stay in the lane when encountering any imperfection on the road. Experiencing loud clicking and clunks and fear that if this develops any further the wheels will fall off. This vin is apparently not included in this well known problem so would be covered under a recall. With the vehicle l lifted i can easily move thecontrol arm about half an inch. This will cause the bolt to break off very soon with how quickly it has deteriorated.
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. Authorized dealer failed to advise of problem although vehicle was regularly serviced there from 2004 to present, most recently in october 2008 shortly before this incident. Jaguar and its authorized dealer refuse to compensate me for repairs required and performed as described above. Old parts may yet be available.

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.
Very loud "clunk" noiseis heard in the wheels when driving, and i am told it's the ball joint/suspension that's the culprit. Have yet to have this problem fixed but i understand it's a very dangerous problem that could cause accident if this portion breaks.

Jaguar 2001 s-type strut and ball joint recallid # 00v359002.
Lower ball joint failed on 2001 s-type 4.0 and the dealer just states the vin is not in the recall, but the issue is the same as the recall. This repair cost is extremely ridiculous and jaguar should fix this problem for free. This issue can cause your car to lose control and can kill someone. I have to drive my kids each day in this car to school, etc. I just paid $1,140 to replace ac hoses and now this. This is a lemon. I expect jaguar to for once step up here and fix this issue, regardless of the vin number. The car has the same problem as the recall. Look at the complaints on this board along. My car was manufactured in july 2000 so its in the batch range of the issue.

Car only had 36,000 miles @beginning of problems. Car began jerking hard to the left. I almost hit an 18-wheeler head-on. I just heard that a recall exists on the suspension, ball joints, etc.this is weird, since i have had the car back to the shop @ least 5 times, and none of this was fixed. People could have been killed. I have filed a consumer complaint.hopefully, jaguar will correct this problem, before someone is hurt. My car is undriveable at this time.
Very loud "clunk" noiseis heard in the wheels when driving, and i am told it's the ball joint/suspension that's the culprit. Have yet to have this problem fixed but i understand it's a very dangerous problem that could cause accident if this portion breaks.

Jaguar s type 2001,when it was assembled, they use plastic timing tansioner with a matal chain which cause to wornout fast and lock the engine.
Vehicle accelerates when putting on brakes.thishappened on at least six (6) different occasions.this generally happens in stop and go traffic.the worse incident involved applying great pressure on the brakes to the point where the wheels were spinning (burning rubber), and the only way to come to a complete stop was to shift the gear into neutral.
2001 jaguar s-type v-6. I receive an engine failsafe mode message on dash. The car hesitates and may stall while driving. Computer says it is the throttle body housing to throttle pedal unit (which has been replaced.) this occurs primarily in the morning when i first start driving and it will stay in this mode from 5 to 10 minutes then go to normal driving mode. The last time it stayed in the failsafe mode for about 30 minutes. Two mechanics "think it is the throttle body control but they cannot say for sure but in their opinion this is a part that fails on many jags. The failure is a real safety issue since you do not know when it can happen. At some stop lights it will just die in mid-turning of a corner. After replacing the throttle pedal which was one of the possible parts problems, it returned with the same problem after about a week. I cannot get any information from jaguar to see if this is an ongoing problem for jaguars. The only real information is on blogs and chat rooms on jag repairs. This has to be a design flaw that owners should not have to bear the burden of buying a $ 2000 part, especially if it is being ignored by the manufacturer.

Upon pressing the window down button the window would make a high pitched screeching noise, and upon rolling the window down a few inches one frosted night it made a loud popping noise and refused to roll up or down after that. I have been told this will cost near $400 to fix, as the part must be ordered from the dealership (they say it's the regulator that's out)and it's very expensive,plus the cost of labor.
I own a 2001 jaguar s type.while attempting to lower the left front passenger window, it fell into the door and would not come out (it is power driven).i had to drive around for 3 days with the window down.i took it to the dealer and they told me it was a broken window regulator.they replaced the regulator since my vehice was still under warranty.

Jaguar s-type.i have had three window regulators fail (front right & both rear) in less than 18 months, with the last two occurring within 60 days of each other.in searching the internet, i see many complaints from other s-type owners who have similar problems on this massive scale.i am an attorney, and this seems to be a recurring product defect such that a recall should occur or, at a minimum, jaguar should be responsible.it has cost over $1200 to replace the three thus far.
Interior rear view mirror is mounted too low, the view of the road to the right of the center is blocked, consumer states this problem only exists on jaguars equipped with rain sensing windshield wipers, mirror is mounted to the windshield base by only a spherical joint, the joint permits angular adjustment for the mirror to aim to a particular field of view.
Dt*:the contact stated that while driving on interstate i-45, the front left tire on the jaguar s-type deflated, forcing the contact to pull off the road.the vehicle was taken to the tire dealer to replace all 4 tires.when the dealer attempted to remove the lug nut from the front right tire, the lug nut separated from the self centering nipple making it impossible to remove the tire.the other 3 old tires were put back on the vehicle.the vehicle was taken to an independent repair shop. As the mechanic attempted to remove another tire, two lug nuts separated in the same wheel.to remove the nipple, the mechanic had to create a groove into the back of the nipple. The dealer advised the contact that the maximum torque for the lug nuts should be 72 foot pounds and all of them were over-tightened by the original dealer.the mechanic was able to fix the problem, and installed and lubricated new lug nuts. The contact returned to the tire dealer and 4 new tires installed on the vehicle.
