 Jaguar s-type sedan 2003 was subject to recall r-513 but not limited to this.this vehicle experienced major malfuctions in performance with gear box and braking systems in which it could not be properly shifted out of park, lost rpm, parking brake failure, abs warning lights and major engine light indicator warnings. the car could not be safely driven and suffered a major breakdown with less than 9500 miles, flatbedded to sportique motors in huntington, ny on 12/10/2004, returned on 12/15/2004 only to be flatbedded again on 12/17/2004. a new computer was not installed in the vehicle as promised at that time, and the computer was simply reflashed. at 33,948 miles out of warrenty on may 26, 2010 this vehicle suffered the same major breakdown as discribed above and was again flatbedded to huntington land rover jaguar, formerly sportique jaguar, huntington, ny. the car could not properly be shifted out of park, lost rpm and could not be driven safely.the dealership worked on the car four (4) times declaring the problem solved on three occasions from may 26, 2010 until it was flatted bedded back a forth time on 07/22/10 only to be told the car needed a new park sensor module and and new transmission sensor at a cost of over $4000 dollars with labor. my attemps to obtain assistance from jaguar central and huntington jaguar based on my contention that the vehicle was never properly fixed when under warrenty resulted in continual refusals by these parties with claims by the dealership that a faulty truck seal and water leak that certainly did not exist at 9500miles necessitated the costly repairs (the transmission sensor is inside the sealed transmission). my complaints to the dmv ( with lookback of 90 days) has resulted in their findings of a dealership mis-diagnosis . the car remains incapacitated and unsafe to drive. i respectfully request an investigation into all repairs and histories of similar models related to nhtsa recalls but not limited to this.

 (1) events leading up to the failure: none. the car has been routinely serviced. (2) failure and its consequences: the car, twice, while attempting to accelerate, would slow down and seems to be weighed down. the car will not accelerate. the abs brakes go off, and the emergency brake lights go off. also, error report appears stating that there is a brake failure. it puts me at risk for accidents because on both occasion i was driving the car. (3) what was done to correct the failure: i took the car into a jaguar dealer, but jaguar can not recreate the error, so they are unwilling to replace the braking system. *jb
