 Upon purchasing the vehicle from the dealer in used condition w/ roughly 50000 i immediately began to notice shifter problems, especially if the vehicle was parked on an incline or decline. shifter will become stuck and will not come out of park without great force, which then breaks the plastic piece which is necessary to change out the gears, resulting in complete immobility of the vehicle since the car was then stuck in park. car would have needed to be towed if not for being able to take off the console piece to change out the gears w/ a screwdriver in order to just get the car to the dealership. this was less than a month after purchase. upon complaint the dealership replaced the plastic piece or housing and attempted to charge $400+ but was told that it would not be paid due to having the vehicle less than a month. not surprisingly,less than one month after repair the exact same thing happened again and once again the screwdriver aided in getting the car to the dealership where they went through the exact same procedure and fixedthe problem again, this time at no charge. i am confident this problem will happen again, as the shifter still sticks just like it did before it broke either time and i am just counting the days till i am forced to once again break out the screwdriver and waste another full day getting it replaced. *ak

 Tl* the contact owns a 2004 jaguar s-type. the contact was sitting idle in the vehicle with the brakes depressed when the vehicle abnormally accelerated. he then attempted to shift into neutral, park, and then drive as the vehicle accelerated backward. the vehicle would not longer move forward and was towed to the dealer where they advised that a bolt within a bracket that held the cable in place had fractured and would need replacing. the vehicle was repaired. there were no recalls for the failure. the failure mileage was approximately 103,000.
