2001 Jaguar S-Type 4.0
Summary:
A beautiful looking car, but a piece of junk
Faults:
After the first week of ownership, the car would not start and was towed back to the dealer.
The brakes needed replacing at 30000 miles.
After 6 months, while putting the driver's side window down at a drive thru, the window just shattered.
The two back windows are broke; they came off the track and are still not fixed; too costly.
The transmission will not go into drive at 50000 miles. I have to use a lower gear and then up shift manually to drive.
The head liner is falling down on the front side window trim, and also from the rear window forward.
Replaced both front wheel bearings twice.
Over flow coolant reservoir tank replaced because it cracked.
Valve cover gasket needed to be replaced.
Too many problems to list. Just bought a new Toyota Avalon and kept the Jaguar to park. It's not worth anything; I will never buy a Jaguar again.
General Comments:
The car is nice to look at.
However it's the most unreliable car I've ever had.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? No

Your comments are the truth and the normal ownership experience.
European cars of all makes are not known for reliability. I know, I repair them daily. They are GOOD for business!
Most in for repair are BMW, Mercedes, then Jag.
Why people keep buying them... I'll never know... or I should say... they don't know... they must buy on looks, as they do look good.
