| 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. | |||

| I was traveling in my car at approximately 30 mph. i slowed for a traffic light. as i was coming to a stop (right foot on the brake), the engine began to rev, the rear wheels started to turn propelling me forward. i placed both feet on the brake, pushed the brake to the floor, however the rpm gauge was moving to maximum and the car continued to propel me forward. the rear end started sliding to the left. i slammed the car into park and the tires stopped moving, the rpms dropped, and the electrical system shorted resulting in taking the radio offline and to station 600 am. i was able to avoid the stopped vehicle in front of me by 2 inches. this is the second time this has happened. the vehicle was evaluated approx 1 month ago for the same type of failure, but they were unable to reproduce the event. of note, on december 13, 2004, the vehicle went into reverse and would not come out of reverse. the vehicle was evaluated by the dealership, the gear shift was replaced, the trans cable bolt had fallen out, it was replaced, and the cable was adjusted. *jb | |||

| Vehicle was returned on (three different occasions) to dealer in two different states to correct grinding sound near front wheels between november 2003 and june 2005. vehicle sprung a broken fuel line some time in late 2004. vehicle rear brakes locked on freeway ramp july, 2005 two weeks after dealer had installed new rear brake pads. the vehicle has too many defects in various areas for a three year old. my fear is that there is more to surface and i will be holding a lemon in the very near future. | |||
