| The jaguar dealer replaced the transmission and related parts in the car as it was un-drivable. after re-assembly, the car would make clunking sounds when turning tight turns and over bumps and dips. this became more noticeable over time, until the dealer wanted to replaced most of the suspension. it turns out that the transmission sub-frame is bolted through the floor pan to spot-welded nuts. the technician broke these nuts loose during re-installing the frame member (perhaps by over-torquing). the drivetrain would then shift during the tight turns and over bumps making a loud clunking in the unibody. *tr | |||

| Experienced two major failures. the initial failure involved the shearing off of one of the left suspension components. resulted in steering failure. fortunately, i was only going 20 mph and was able to stop before further damage incurred. $4500 in repairs to front end/suspension--covered by local dealer/jaguar. the second failure involved transmission failure at speeds of 40 - 70 mph. happily, when taken to the dealership, it left them stranded on the street. this resulted in the recommendation of a new transmission at $6500 on a component not due to require service for another 30,000 miles. (car had 69,000 miles.) *jb | |||

| Noted a metal fatigue vertical separation in the right rear trailing arm of the rear suspension approximately 4 in long. no damage to the link is noted and appears to be a stress fracture. complete fracture of the link could occur at speed if a road hazard, i.e. pothole or rough road surface is encountered causing the rear wheel to possibly separate from the vehicle. manufacturer was notified directly but was told to take it to a dealer photos are available and car can be made available for inspection | |||
