Headlight adjusters broken.this causes the headlights to point downward at the road and reduced visibility for night driving.it was nearly impossible to see the lines on the road and operate the vehicle.the local jaguar dealership acknowledges that these plastic adjusters are prone to breaking if adjusted and refused to work on the lights or provide a viable solution.their first claim was that these lights could not be adjusted and sent me away twice without servicing the vehicle.their solution was to tell me to search the internet.upon searching the internet it was clear that this was a problem with other drivers as well.the safety concern is that this is extremely brittle plastic that holds/adjusts the lights and if broken do not allow for safe driving.
Driving at night i noticed that the headlights look out of alignment.the right light was about normal, but the left light was aimed down and to the left of the road ahead.it was difficult to see the highway.i purchased the car new.it's never been in an accident or hit on the front end.it's a long way to a dealer, so i went to an independent mechanic who determined that there is a plastic part broken on the back side of the lights.replacement cost for parts (have to buy the whole assembly) and labor (bumper has to be removed to get to the light assembly) was almost $1500.i think this should be a recall item since i believe its a defect.it's also strange that the nc inspection does not include headlight alignment.if it lights, it passes.did not get it fixed,we just don't drive it at night.

C2s1598).
My vehicle has the same problem as nhtsa id number: 10766521 filed 9/21/2015. The headlights are angled too low and the mechanic says that a plastic piece is broken and the entire headlight assembly needs to be replaced. I keep the fog lights on to compensate for the limited view of the low beams. I also use the high beams at night whenever i can. The headlights not properly illuminating the road in front of me is an obvious safety issue.

We have a 2003 jaguar x-type 2.5 liter we had towed to hennessey, 3040 piedmont rd. ,atlanta, georgia 30305, jaguar service. Its only 69122 in mileage. We check in at 13:34 and check out at 16:47 and we paid 129.64for labor. Information on invoice a.129.64. Invoice stated: cust says to program cust provided keys , quoted $130.00. Customer requested supplied keys to be programmed. Scan with add and ran key programming session / function . Key can not be programmed at this time due to network communication failure. Communication with cluster will have to be restored before keys can be programmed. The x-type productionstopped in 2009.we believed jaguar does not have the software to service this particular service issue with re -programming keys since productions stop in 2009 and now own's by a company in india. We did not received a copy of the test perform , only a invoice. Jaguar stated they didnot know what was wrongseveral occasions. They wanted to keep the cars for another 3 hours at 130.00 without a guarantee if there software was updated for the x -type model its would have a printout of the test, not guessing.network cannot communicate because there scan tool or programmed tool does not recognize x- type software. Any it programmer knows their have to be something to communicatewith . We paid jaguar for a outdated software test . We believed x-type is a safety hazardon our country road without technical support. We did called jaguar north america. We had the car towed back home .supposedly jaguar is the only one with the technology to resolve these type of issue's. Please help!## vin passed ## jaguar x-type 2.52003 ##
On several occasions my car has suddenly and unexpectedly accelerated - a very scary experience. The dealer told me they had had other reports, and that it was able to be fixed - however it has not been fixed.the most recent incident (below) happened when i was going uphill and had eased off on the accelerator because traffic in front of me was slowing down. Instead, the car responded as though i had put my foot to the floor.
Could not see the dashboard gauges in the sunlight.the dealer's sales associate also had the same experience.
I will start by saying that i love my jaguar.it is the best car i have ever had, with one exception.this is now the fifth incident of cracking rims (size 7.5x180 et52.5) on my 2005 jaguar x-type (equipped with the sport premium package).i went out to put the garbage out on sunday, 20may12, when i noticed the front driver's tire was low. I checked the pressure, and the guage showed 0.that night i put in 40 psi of air.the following day i checked it again, and the guage showed 20 psi.it is important to state the vehicle had not been used since 19may12 to that point.i jacked up the car, and pulled the wheel off the car.after spraying with soapy water on the inside rim by the sidewall, i found it was bubbling.i put the spare on the car.later i switched the spare so it could be on the driver's rear (so it would not be on a wheel thet steers).on a whim, i checked the wheel that was on the driver's rear side and found it was cracked as well.i sprayed soapy water and found it was not bubbling.i called the local jaguar dealer, who stated they have not had issues with their rims, and no recall has been issued for them.i find the cracking rims to be a huge safety issue.my wife and i have spent approximately $600 on wheel repairs.every factory original wheel on the car has been cracked; some more than once.we have also spent a lot of money on new tires because the rims were cracked and destroyed some of the tires' sidewalls. The most recent cracks were docummented via photos from my iphone.i have heard of other people having issued with their jaguar rims, yet i have not seen a recall on this item. It really should be.this is the car we take our four-year-old to daycare.we also use the car for family outtings and shopping.
