Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: At only 46,000 miles, vehicle suffered catastrophic transmission failure, resulting in estimates ranging from $8000 (jaguar rebuilt) to $3000 (local rebuild) for repairs. car was, according to dealer, out of warranty by registration date, leaving me with the entire rebuild bill. jaguar knows about the problem of x-type transmissions failing and refuses to address the situation. emails and letters sent to jaguar hq have all gone unanswered. since i received the vehicle, the transmission has been replaced, headlight washer covers have both blown off during use, sunroof has failed, both front seats rock (jaguar has a tsb out on this but fails to recall), mysterious dsc failures and many fit and finish issues (dash pad warping, paint issues, etc.).
