On 5/8/23 called JLR NA on transmission issues fault codes C0003A(abs) P0500 and PO721 gear box and speed sensors. They recommended not to drive and have towed and connected to JLR road side, but $225 to closest JLR dealer, so called back and JLR recommended Jaguar Plus and T&S Auto Clinic, locally. Plus does not do transmissions, so T&S called for tow $105.Open case on 5/9/23 #[XXX] and told T&S don't proceed with shop work, until we came in and authorized. Issue with them , no receipts , no written estimates that were requested. Here is issue: CLUNK in automatic PRND .

However if the DSC is disabled, like on heavy snow; and slowly shift P R N D then J shift to 2,3,4,5 no CLUNK just normal bumps in and out N. No speed issues my husband says. But I am 77 and have lung cancer and cannot work it without the D automatic . Many emails and calls to JLR who set up appointments with JLR dealers 25-50 miles away. All say they have to run diagnosis for two hours, $500 non- refundable fee, even though the instrument two green displays give most of the faults keep flashing. Transmission shop day have cheap ABS RR changed , and scheduled, some report that cures all faults, since JLR software get confused , revs engine, upshifts, down shifts and CLUNK. Solution: Husband says start engine, let idle down ,warn up, press DSC off, ease from P to R and you hear shift , then stop in N and the slowly D, the immediately in J shifter go through 5,4,3,2 keep foot on brake at all times. Result no CLUNK, but small normal bumps.(Keeps lock in gear, no down shifts Two JLR dealers say OOS and TCM internal new $14,000 or one said $4,200 plus labor warrantee 1 year.

The contact owns a 2003 Jaguar S-Type. The contact stated while driving approximately 20-25 MPH, the vehicle would shift into reverse independently and would lock up while the gear shifter was in a drive(D). The gear box fault warning light was illuminated. The contact depressed the accelerator pedal in order to continue to drive. Additionally, the contact stated that while at a complete stop with the vehicle in drive(D), the vehicle would reverse independently. The contact would immediately depress the brake pedal. The warning message "Gear Box Fault" was illuminated. There was no further information provided. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic several times where it was diagnosed that the failure was associated with NHTSA Campaign Number: 04V024000 (Power Train). The independent mechanic then contacted the local dealer who advised that the transmission control module (TCM) was previously reprogrammed under NHTSA Campaign Number: 04V024000 (Power Train) in 2004. The dealer advised that they could not assist as the software was no longer available. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 120,000.

NHTSA complaint #11112876 — an unverified report by a vehicle owner.
WHILE ON THE EXPRESSWAY WHILE COMING TO A STOP MY CAR SWITCHED INTO REVERSE ON ITS OWN WHILE IT WAS IN THE DRIVE.THE CAR BEGAN TO DRIVE BACKWARDS ALMOST CAUSING A MAJOR CRASH ON I64 EAST IN VIRGINIA. THIS NEARLY RESULTED IN ME LOSING MY LIFE AS WELL AS PASSENGERS AND OTHER DRIVERS. THE CAR ALSO HAS AN AUTOMATIC PARKING LOCK ENGAGING ERROR WHICH LOCKED MY ENTIRE CAR AND PREVENTED ME FROM DRIVING. THIS ALSO OCCURRED AND NEARLY A WEEK AGO IN DRIVE THRU A WEEK AGO. WHILE IN THE DRIVE THRU THE CAR LOCKED IN PARK AND WOULD NOT ALLOW ME TO DRIVE. UNFORTUNATELY, I HAD TO PAY TO HAVE MY CAR TOWED FROM A MCDONALDS DRIVE THRU AROUND 2:00AM DUE TO THE PARKING LOCK ERROR. ALSO THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THE TRANSMISSION THAT DOES NOT ALLOW THE CAR TO CATCH. THIS I BELIEVE IS THE REASON THE CAR IS ABLE TO SLIP GEARS IN TO REVERSE WHICH IS VERY DANGEROUS. INITIALLY I THOUGHT THE ISSUES WITH THE CAR MAY HAVE BEEN A RESULT OF SOMETHING I WAS DOING. BUT AFTER RESEARCHING I SAW THAT THERE ARE AS MANY AS 10 RECALLS FOR MY CAR YEAR AND MODEL. I WAS ABLE TO EASILY IDENTIFY THAT MY CAR HAD THE EXACT PROBLEMS LISTED.

NHTSA complaint #10724476 — an unverified report by a vehicle owner.
MY 2003 JAGUAR S-TYPE WAS RECALLED IN 2004, RECALL #42036 (R513) POWER TRAIN: AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. I PURCHASED MY JAGUAR AS THE SECOND OWNER 1 1/2 YEARS AGO. I HAVE HAD TROUBLE WITH THE CAR. FOR INSTANCE WHEN I ATTEMPT TO PASS ANOTHER VEHICLE ON THE HIGHWAY AND TRY TO SPEED UP THE TRANSMISSION SLOWS THE CAR DOWN SIGNIFICANTLY. IF I AM TRAVELING AT 55 M.P.H AND ACCELERATE THE CAR WILL IMMEDIATELY SLOW TO ABOUT 30 M.P.H OR LESS. IT IS VERY SCARY! AND COULD RESULT IN A CRASH (AS THE WARNING STATED ON THE RECALL)! THE REPAIR SHOP RAN A COMPUTER DIAGNOSTIC ON MY CAR. THE CODE ON THE COMPUTER STATES "THE TRANSMISSION NEEDS RE-PROGRAMMING OF THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE AS THE TRANSMISSION IS SLIPPING INTO NEUTRAL UNDER LOAD." THE SHOP SAID THERE WAS AN OPEN RECALL ON THE CAR AND THE DEALER NEEDS TO UPDATE THE COMPUTER SOFTWARE TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. THE CAR HAS NO STICKERS SAYING RECALL SERVICE WAS EVER DONE ON IT. THE DEALER SAID THEY CANNOT PERFORM THE SERVICE UNDER THE RECALL AS THE RECALL AS THERE IS NO OPEN FIELD ACTION ON MY VEHICLE ALTHOUGH THERE IS A CURRENTLY OPEN CAMPAIGN. THE DEALER STATED THE MANUFACTURER HAS THE RECALL LISTED AS COMPLETED. IN CONTACTING THE MANUFACTURER OPENED AN INVESTIGATION STATING THE RECALL WAS COMPLETED 03/09/05. 4 DAYS LATER JAGUAR CALLED BACK AND SAID THEY NEED A LETTER OR EMAIL FROM NHTSA STATING TREAD'S RECOMMENDATION TO MANUFACTURERS TO "DIAGNOSE THE IMPAIRMENT, THUS NULLIFYING FURTHER RECURRENCE OF THE IMPAIRMENT." ARE YOU ABLE TO ASSIST ME BY GIVING ME SOMETHING IN WRITING TO GIVE TO THE JAGUAR MANUFACTURER EXPLAINING THEIR RESPONSIBILITY IN CORRECTING A RECALL AS STATED IN THE TRANSPORTATION RECALL ENHANCEMENT ACCOUNTABILITY AND DOCUMENTATION (TREAD) ACT ? IF THE RECALL PROBLEM WITH MY CAR WAS COMPLETED IT WAS NOT DONE CORRECTLY AS THE CAR IS REPEATING THE SAME DANGEROUS PROBLEM. THANK YOU OR YOUR ASSISTANCE!

THIS IS CRAZY I SEE ALL THESE COMPLAINTS THROUGH THE YEARS ABOUT THE 2000 S TYPE JAG ALL HAVE THE SAME PROBLEMS.. WHY HASN'T THERE BEEN A RECALL I JUST RECENTLY EXPERIENCED THE SAME THING WHERE I HAD TO HAVE MY CAR TOWED WHEN I FIRST NOTICED IT WAS RIGHT AFTER I BOUGHT THE CAR IN 2012.NOW IT'S BEEN ALMOST GOING TO 3 YEARS AND I'M HAVING A THIS PROBLEM WAS NOT BEING ABLE TO SHIFT INTO DRIVE IN A PARK POSITION OR EVEN SWITCH FROM REVERSE WHEN I'M PARKED ON THE INCLINE THIS IS RIDICULOUS, I CAN'T EVEN DRIVE MY CAR. NOW WITH ALL THE COMPLAINTS THAT I'VE BEEN READING ABOUT THE JAGUAR S-TYPE IT MAKES ME FEEL LIKE JAGUARS NOT CONCERNED ABOUT THEIR SAFETY ISSUES WHILE BUILDING SUCH A PRESTIGIOUS AND VERY EXPENSIVE AUTOMOBILE THERE MAY CONCERN WAS GETTING IT OUT IN THE SHOWROOM TO SELL FOR THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS NOT INCLUDING THE EXPENSIVE REPAIRS THAT IT TAKES TO MAINTAIN A JAGUAR.IT SEEMS TO ME THE JAGUAR DEALERSHIPS BE WILLING TO STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT AS WELL AS ACCOMMODATE THE SAFETY ISSUES THAT ARE CLEARLY A DEFECT ON THE MANY FACTORS PART BECAUSE YOU WOULDN'T HAVE THAT MANY PEOPLE COMPLAINING ON A FORUM ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE THE SAME COMPLAINT.I DO REALIZE THAT MY JAGUAR IS NOW 15 YEARS OLD BUT IT STILL HAS A WHOLE LOT OF LIFE IN IT I HAVE A BEAUTIFUL JAGUAR. AND I LOVE IT I LOVE EVERYTHING ABOUT IT BUT THIS PROBLEM WITH THE GEAR BOX SHIFT TRULY NEED TO BE LOOKED INTO PLEASE DON'T WAIT FOR A DISASTER TO HAPPEN IN THESE CARS IF THE RECALL WILL REQUIRE THEM SPENDING MILLIONS IS SO BE IT BECAUSE WE AS A CONSUMER HAVE WORKED HARD IN ORDER TO GET THE CAR OF THEIR DREAMS AND THAT'S THE CASE FOR SOME PEOPLE.YOU WOULD THINK THAT TO BE DEALERS OF A JAGUAR WITH STAND FOR SOME TYPE OF INTEGRITY AND RESPONSIBILITY AND BE THE FIRST TO RECOGNIZE THE PROBLEM.
NHTSA complaint #10694743 — an unverified report by a vehicle owner.
I PULLED UP TO STOP AT A RESTAURANT CURB AND STOPPED THE VEHICLE. THE ENGINE SUDDENLY RACED TO APPROX 6000-6500 RPM. I WAS ABLE TO KEEP MY FOOT FIRMLY ON THE BRAKE, SHIFT THE TRANSMISSION INTO PARK, AND TURN THE ENGINE OFF. WHEN I RE-STARTED THE ENGINE EVERYTHING WAS FINE. I DID' NOT THINK TOO MUCH OF THIS, OUTSIDE OF SCARING THE HELL OUT OF ME, AS I THOUGHT MY FOOT MIGHT HAVE SLIPPED OFF THE BRAKE AND ON TO THE ACCELERATOR. ABOUT ONE WEEK IT HAPPENED AGAIN AS I WAS PULLING UP TO A STOP BEHIND A VEHICLE THE ENGINE STARTED RACING AGAIN. AGAIN I WAS ABLE TO SOP, WITHIN 2 FEET, OF THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME. THE VEHICLE IS NOW AT THE JAGUAR DEALERSHIP, MARKEL, IN OMAHA, NE. JAGUAR CARS IN NEW JERSEY ([XXX]) JUST INFORMED ME THAT IT IS A TRANSMISSION PROBLEM AND JAGUAR WOULD NOT ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY FOR A POSSIBLE SAFETY DEFECT. THEY OFFERED TO REPAIR IT FOR $7,500. I BELIEVE THIS IS A POTENTIAL SAFETY ISSUE AND WILL NOT DRIVE IT UNTIL IT IS REPAIRED. JAGUAR APPARENTLY DOES NOT AGREE WITH ASSESSMENT AND REFUSES TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE DEFECT. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

NHTSA complaint #10577999 — an unverified report by a vehicle owner.
I PURCHASED THIS 2007 JAGUAR S-TYPE IN NOV 2013. APPROXIMATELY 1 MONTH AGO I STARTED HAVING AN ISSUE WITH THE ELECTRONIC PARKING BRAKE NOT RELEASING ITSELF WHEN THE CAR WAS SHIFTED OUT OF THE "PARK" POSITION. IT TAKES A GOOD 15-20 MINUTES OF DRIVING THE VEHICLE AND APPLYING THE BRAKES SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE THE ELECTRONIC PARKING BRAKE WILL DISENGAGE ITSELF. IT HAS GOTTEN TO THE POINT NOW THAT THE BRAKE PADS HAVE WORN TO THE POINT OF INITIAL GRINDING NOISE BEING HEARD, WHICH IS A CLEAR INDICATOR OF EXCESSIVE WEAR. I DID SOME RESEARCH ONLINE A COUPLE OF NIGHTS AGO, SO AS TO CONFIRM IF THERE HAVE BEEN ANY JAGUAR S-TYPE "RECALLS" FOR THIS TYPE OF PROBLEM, AND IN FACT FOUND THAT THERE HAVE BEEN MANY REPORTED INSTANCES OF THEM FOR THIS EXACT PROBLEM. IN FACT, THE PROBLEM CAN ESCALATE ITSELF IF THE ELECTRONIC PARKING BRAKE WERE TO ENGAGE ITSELF ON ITS OWN WHILE THE CAR IS IN MOTION, CAUSING THE REAR BRAKES/TIRES TO LOCK UP.....AN OBVIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. THE RECALL NUMBERS ARE R166 AND R167, BUT IN CONTACTING JAGUAR CORPORATE CUSTOMER SERVICE, AS WELL AS A LOCAL JAGUAR SERVICE DEALERSHIP, I WAS INFORMED THAT WHILE MY ISSUE APPEARS TO BE MIRRORING THESE PRIOR RECALLS, THERE IS NOT AN ACTUAL RECALL CURRENTLY "OPEN" ON THE 2007 JAGUAR S-TYPE MODEL YEAR VEHICLE. THIS TO ME SEEMS RIDICULOUS. WHAT SHOULD IT MATTER WHAT THE MANUFACTURED YEAR OF THE VEHICLE IS? IF THE PROBLEM IS THE SAME PROBLEM AS HAS OCCURRED ON PRIOR YEAR MODELS, WHY WOULDN'T THE EXISTING RECALL/S SIMPLY BE EXPANDED TO INCLUDE THE ADDITIONAL MODEL YEAR/S, 2007 IN THIS CASE? ANY ASSISTANCE/DIRECTION IN REGARDS TO HAVING THIS MATTER ADDRESSED THAT COULD POSSIBLY BE SENT MY WAY WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED.

PARKED ON A SLIGHT INCLINE AT THE BOBOPS IN ESTILL, SC AND THE CAR WOULD NOT COME OUT OF PARK, AFTER A FEW TRIES, THE GEAR FLOATED AND THE SHIFTER OBVIOUSLY HAD BROKEN. THIS REPAIR IS GOING TO RUN ME 2200 DOLLARS, JAGUAR SHOULD COVER THE TOTAL COST OF THIS AS WELL AS SHOULD HAVE ISSUED A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM YEARS AGO.
