Problems with 2006 Jaguar S-TYPE POWER TRAIN

Bought car on friday(7/20/18). upon arriving home and after getting acquainted and accustomed to car, detected the following problems that i was unable to detect during test drive. after reviewing car fax report and dmv car info, was aware of car history, after verifying carfax indicated they would purchase back my car if determined to be a lemon, i purchased vehicle w/ full confidence. arriving home,determined the following safety issues with the car that i was unable to notice during a routine test drive. upon driving vehicle at home, noticed immediately the following safety issue's 1.)brake system~applyinging breaks, prior to stopping the car jerks to an abrupt stop making pax in vehicle experience a whiplash effect 2.) determined at home after reading manual, that the red light illumination when accelerating vehicle found out it was the "priority light" indicating coolant fluid level low. 3.) also, attempted to go shopping on saturday but when arrived at store realized car would not lock w/ either remote or key. both do not lock vehicle, unable the status of alarm, and while car is parked, still unable to keep doors n vehicle locked. informed dealer and assured me it would be inspected and addressed . also, informed dealer for some assistance after paying over $5k cash. above are listed problems determined, notified dealer and asked me to bring in on monday for 2'nd attempt. paid to much money to have to go through these tragedies when dealer should have at least been up front and honest when he assured me vehicle had no issues rather the hanging up on me the first time i tried to contact dealer on saturday, day after purchase.

Tl*the contact owns a 2006 jaguar s-type. while the vehicle was parked the contact attempted to switch the gear shift out of park into reverse and the gear shift was stuck in park. the vehicle was not taken to a dealer for diagnostic testing. the manufacturer was made aware of the failure and informed the contact there was a recall under nhtsa campaign id number: 05v503000 ( power train:automatic transmission:gear position indication (prndl)) but the vin was not included in the recall. the vehicle was not repaired. the approximate failure mileage was 55,198.

When i bought the car a week later it blew hot air, i was told it only needed freon. i found out later that there was a leak and it is $1200. a week after that the car would not start the dealer picked the car up and said that the battery was dead because i left the radio on, it has happened over 30 times, not true there is something wrong. i have replaced tires at least six times. tires completely separate. i was driving and car slowed down on freeway and i was almost hit, i pulled over and it stopped and did it again and i had to push the traction control button, almost cost me my life! it now happens when i hit a bump. when i turn the car makes a extremely loud noise, (embarrassing) i was told it is a ball joint and can catch on fire. engine light has always been on and is now blinking and the car shakes and hesitates. i had to pay to get the brakes fixed 2 months after purchasing. radio turns on for no reason and runs battery down. i was told i have two leaks in my shocks and it is $1800 each. when i back up and turn the steering wheel vibrates. i can't even use the cigarette lighter to charge my cell because it does not work and has been replaced twice. the remote just stop working and i was charged $100 to reconfigure. the brakes act funny, can't even explain it. this car is unreal, a complete piece of junk. i can't even remember half the stuff i have endured and the money i have spent. *nm

On my 2000 s-type 4.0 i have had two transmissions replaced and is in need of a third. jaguar's position (from corporate), that it is not unusual for a transmission to go under 50,000 miles, however, they refuse to put it in writing. there are probably hundreds if not thousands of owners going through the same problem. on every website there are complaints about failing transmissions. jaguar definitely is aware of the problem but offers no assistance. i am willing to bet there is some corporate memo regarding how to cover this up. *nm
