Jaguar S-Type Transmission Problems

• 2001 Jaguar s-type 4.0 - transmission quit on an incline

  Written by: mbalasu on Jul 27, 2010 11:27:49 PM

  My Jag has 115K miles. Why would a transmission quit uphill? I had only one instance in the past when I thought it slipped. Other than that I think this failure was sudden. I turned the car around using gravity, and rolling downhill I was able to engage trans in 2nd gear. I took the car to the mechanic (authorized he says to work on Jags), and I had the trans ...

  I own a certified Select Edition 2001 “S” type Jaguar purchased in 2003 with the extended warranty as part of the car being a “Select Edition.” My wife and I drove from our home in CA, to Fort Worth, TX on September 28, 2006. Because of time restraints, we had to be in Fort Worth in two days. We have taken this trip several times before with no problems whatsoever. The ... Read More

  We had a brief discussion about swow tires on the Jagtalk forums at http://www.jagdriver.com/forum/index.php last week. You might want to check it out. Congratulations on the new S and getting what you want at the appropriate price.

  Thank you xjsguy for your reply. I did find exactly what I wanted from another local Jaguar dealership. The salesman was not pushy and very informative. I had my pricing information with me and it worked out for us...Supposedly $1,000 over dealer invoice and he threw in custom pinstriping. I met with the artist to discuss color options and had my initials put on the door (very small and discreet). I ... Read More

  This is both a serious and an "INTELLIGENT" reply. "Your" dealer is hiding the swampland from you. There is no, repeat, NO legitimacy to this offr. Not only are you being "offered" an absolutely confidence deal on a USED CAR, you are also being gouged in that there is "no waranty". I don't know where you are however, it is easy enough to search for other same/similar type Jags in other ... Read More

  Only a $3000 discount for one year old model and 5000 miles is horrible. It's a used car!!!! I would think a 3-4000 discount on the new one (2008) seems about right but use the main part of Edmunds to check it out. You might want to get some bids from other dealers and if they won't meet the price, buy else where. Absolutely forget any idea of this being a ... Read More

  Hello to all...My husband and I met with a salesman yesterday with one of our local Jaguar dealers...He is trying hard to sell us the 07'"demo" with 5,000 miles on it and only discounted the car by $3,000. The warranty, of course, would be deleted by these miles. Since the 08' is the last year of production for this car, I am thinking that it may retain it's value as a ... Read More

  IIRC Chase Auto finance is around 37% on a 12k lease and they have approximately .00280 money if you are tier 1. Don't quote me on this exactly, but if I recall I am quite close. Jaguar Credit's program is better, but the extra $4,500 in trunk money negates their program on the X-Type... even though you pay more interest with Chase, your net cost is lower.

  Hi misterjim. $5,000 is too much money to pay at lease signing. It has to include a significant capitalized cost reduction. I always advise consumers against making large cap cost reductions on leased vehicles. Those who make them risk losing part or all of them if their vehicle is totaled in an accident or stolen and never recovered. You would be much better off going with no cap cost reduction on ...

  The S type is one car I would stay away from. 1) fit and finish is not up to Jag quality. 2) it is going to be discontinued b/c of slow sales, which means you should be able to find a terrific deal. 3)the new model which replaces it comes out early next year if everything goes according to planned. I guess my biggest complaint is that Jaguar has always been ... Read More

  Welcome back nlkleinberg. There's nothing wrong with trading in your old car when leasing a new one. Just make sure to have the dealer that you are working with cut you a check for any equity that you have in your trade rather than using the proceeds from it as a capitalized cost reduction for your lease. I haven't seen Jaguar's lease program for the 2007 XJR or the S-Type R ... Read More
