Jaguar transmission problems

Owners have filed 383 complaints with NHTSA about the transmission on Jaguar vehicles — 11% of everything reported about the brand, across 26 models. The model that accounts for most of them is the Jaguar S-Type, worst in 2000.

These are raw counts. A model that sold in millions appears near the top for that reason alone — the grade never compares one model with another.
