2003 Jaguar S-Type Brakes Problems

ODI#11101609 - UPDATE INFORMATION. UPDATE, MY CAR RECALL PART WAS REPLACED FOR $574.04 AND I PICKED IT UP YESTERDAY 6-27-18, BY A LOCAL AUTO PARTS REPAIR SHOP, I HAVE THE BILL TO SHOW PROOF. JAGUAR LAND ROVER GWINNETT SALESMAN FRISCO DOLLARD 770-680-5000 OFC EMAILED ME ON 6-16-18 TO SALE ME ANOTHER CAR, I TOLD HIM I WANT MY CAR FIXED NOT A SALE. HE TOLD ME TO CALL MIKE WHITE SERVICE MGR. AFTER LEAVING SEVERAL MESSAGES, MR WHITE CALLED ME BACK VERY RUDE AND STATED, THEY WOULD NOT COMPENSATE ME FOR THE RECALL DEFECT PART. AFTER I ASKED HIM TO RUN MY VIN# HE STATED THE RECALL PART WAS REPLACED 6-29-2007 UNDER MY NAME. I TOLD HIM THAT WAS IMPOSSIBLE BECAUSE I DID NOT BUY THIS CAR UNTIL 7-9-2007. HE BECAME MORE UPSET AND SHORT WITH ME AND SAID IT WOULD BE AFTER 7-4-18 BEFORE THEY COULD EVEN LOOK AT MY CAR $150.00 JUST TO DIAGNOSTICS PLUS ANY PART OR LABOR JUST BRING IT IN, I TOLD HIM IT WAS NOT DRIVE-ABLE, HE SAID THAT WAS MY PROBLEM. NOTHING ELSE THEY COULD OR WOULD DO. I FEEL THIS WAS A TOTAL LET DOWN AND NEGLECT ON MY VEHICLE BY JAGUAR LAND ROVER I COULD HAD BEEN KILLED OR SERIOUS HURT BECAUSE OF A FAULTY BRAKE RECALL/DEFECT PART ON MY CAR THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN REPLACED YEARS AGO AT ANY SERVICE VISIT THAT I HAD AT THEIR PLACE OF BUSINESS. NOW THAT I HAVE PAID THE ADDED EXPENSE FOR THIS REPAIR AND THEY WERE NOT WILLING TO DO ANYTHING TO HELP CORRECT THIS PROBLEM. UN-JUSTICE HAS BEEN DONE TO ME. *JS

I FOUND A RECALL ON THE ELECTRONIC PARK BRAKE MODULE FOR A DEFECT TO BE REPLACED SINCE 2005, BUT I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED. I HAVE HAD THIS VEHICLE SINCE 2007 WITH MANY SERVICES AT THE DEALERSHIP SINCE PURCHASED. MONDAY JUNE 11, 2018 MY PARKING BRAKE ENGAGED AND WOULD NOT RELEASE. THIS IS S SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN. I WAS PARKED AWAY FROM HOME PAYING A BILL IN THE PORING RAIN AND HAD TO HAVE MY CAR TOWED TO THE NEARER DEALERSHIP.IT HAS BEEN 3 DAYS NOW WITHOUT TRANSPORTATION AND I STILL DON'T KNOW IF THEY CAN FIX IT. ALL THIS COULD HAVE BEEN AVOIDED WITH PROPER SERVICE AND NOTIFICATION FROM THE AUTHORIZED DEALERSHIP YEARS AGO AT THE TIME OF SERVICE.

MY 2003 JAGUAR S TYPE IS GETTING A PARKING BRAKE FAULT/ENGINE SYSTEM FAULT AND DSC NOT AVAILABLE AT THE SAME TIME WITH THE ABS BRAKE SYMBOL. I HAVE NEW BRAKES ON MY CAR AND THE ROTORS ARE GOOD AS WELL. I WAS DRIVING AND MY CAR LIGHTING SYSTEM CAME UP WITH THAT ABOVE AND STARTED TO MOVE SLOWLY ON A CITY STREET. I DON'T KNOW WHAT IS CAUSING THIS PROBLEM. I SEE THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE PARKING BRAKE MODULE BACK IN 2005 BUT I AM THE SECOND OWNER OF THIS CAR. I AM NOT SURE IF THIS WAS TAKEN CARE OF BY THE PREVIOUS OWNER. I HAVE CALLED SEVERAL JAGUAR PLACES ABOUT RECORDS ON THIS CAR ABOUT THESE RECALL/S BUT I AM GETTING THE RUN AROUND. LUCKILY I HAVEN'T HAD ANY ACCIDENTS WITH THIS ISSUE. PLEASE HELP...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 JAGUAR S-TYPE. THE CONTACT STATED THE EMERGENCY BRAKE INDEPENDENTLY ENGAGED. THE BRAKE AND THE ABS WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER BUT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 04V488000 (PARKING BRAKE). THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 23,000.

I GOT IN MY CAR TO LEAVE AND THE DASH KEEP SAYING APPLY PARKING BRAKE TRIED TO AND THE PARKING BRAKE WOULD NOT RELEASE. *TR

HI THE CAR STARTED BRAKING ITSELF WITHOUT PUSHING THE BRAKE THEN I SEE THE PARKING BRAKE LIGHT FAULT IT THE DASHBOARD. I CAN'T DRIVE THE CAR LIKE THIS. *TR

WHILE APPROACHING A STOP SIGN AND APPLYING MY BRAKES THE CAR INVOLUNTARILY ACCELERATED ON TO INCOMING TRAFFIC. THE CAR WAS REVVING AT HIGH SPEED AND COULD NOT BE STOPPED. I HAD BOTH FEET ON THE BRAKES BUT CAR WAS NOT RESPONDING . I HEADED TOWARD HIGH CURB AVOIDING CARS AND PEDESTRIANS IN HOPES OF SLOWING CAR BEFORE I WAS TO HIT DIPSEY DUMPSTER ,ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD (I HAD CHOSEN TO HIT THEM IN ORDER TO AVOID INVOLVING OTHER CARS AND PEDESTRIANS) WHEN I HIT THE CURB AT HIGH RPMS , THE IMPACT DAMAGED THE RIGHT FRONT WHEEL AND UNDER CARRIAGE OF AUTOMOBILE. THE ACCELERATION STOPPED . IT WAS A TERRIFYING EXPERIENCE. THIS MALFUNCTION HAS BEEN REGISTERED BY OTHER DRIVERS. OF JAGUARS. IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT JAGUAR NEEDS TO ADDRESS. I AM LUCKY THAT I DID NOT KILL ANYONE OR HAD SERIOUS INJURIES TO MY PASSENGER AND MYSELF. *TR

I HAVE A 2003 JAGUAR S TYPE R. AT 32,000 MILES I HAD TO REPLACE THE PADS OF MY VEHICLE AT ALL 4 CORNERS. SINCE THEN MY ROTORS CONSTANTLY KEEP WARPING, EVEN AFTER I BROUGHT THE CAR BACK TWICE AND MY REAR BRAKES HAVE UNEVENLY WORN DOWN TO THE POINT THAT MY RIGHT REAR ROTOR STARTED GRINDING. MY CAR HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP NUMEROUS TIMES TO HAVE WARRANTY WORK DONE AND I HAVE INFORMED THE DEALERSHIP OF THE SPECIFIC TSBS THAT CORRELATE TO MY ISSUES. MY REAR PARKING BRAKE MODULE WAS REPLACED TWICE, AS WAS MY RIGHT REAR WHEEL HUB. THE DEALERSHIP DISREGARDS ANY SERVICE BULLETIN THAT I INFORM THEM OF BY SAYING THAT MY CAR DOES NOT FIT INTO THE VIN RANGE, AND IF IT DOES FIT INTO THE VIN RANGE THEY TELL ME THAT ALTHOUGH THERE IS A SERVICE BULLETIN IT IS NOT A BULLETIN COVERED BY THE DEALERSHIP BUT BY THE CONSUMER. MY CAR IS UNDER FULL WARRANTY AND I DO NOT UNDERSTAND HOW A KNOWN PROBLEM ON A CAR IS MY RESPONSIBILITY TO COVER THE COSTS. TO CORRECT THE WARPED DISCS, THE DEALERSHIP RESURFACED MY DISCS PAST THE MINIMUM THICKNESS AND REFUSED TO THEN GIVE ME NEW ROTORS. THE PARKING BRAKE ACTUATOR THEY REPLACED FOR FREE BECAUSE IT WAS AN ACTUAL RECALL, AND FOR THE UNEVENLY WORN REAR BRAKES DUE TO THE PARKING BRAKE ACTUATOR THEY WILL FIX BY CHARGING ME $850 FOR NEW ROTORS AND PADS. THE DEALERSHIP REFUSES TO TOUCH WEARABLE ITEMS SUCH AS BRAKES OR TIRES, EVEN IF THE BRAKES OR TIRES WERE WORN DOWN DUE TO THE MALFUNCTION OF A COVERED ITEM. THE COSTS KEEP BUILDING UP WHEN A NEW SET OF TIRES IS $2000 AND A NEW SET OF BRAKES IS $1600. IF JAGUAR CAN NOT MANUFACTURE A SAFE AND STURDY VEHICLE IT SHOULD NOT BE ON THEIR CONSUMER TO CONSTANTLY PAY TO KEEP THE VEHICLE SAFE AND ROAD WORTHY. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 JAGUAR S-TYPE. WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH, THE EMERGENCY BRAKE FAILED AND CAUSED THE BRAKES TO LOCK. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER AND LATER DIAGNOSED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 47,000.

(1) EVENTS LEADING UP TO THE FAILURE: NONE. THE CAR HAS BEEN ROUTINELY SERVICED. (2) FAILURE AND ITS CONSEQUENCES: THE CAR, TWICE, WHILE ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE, WOULD SLOW DOWN AND SEEMS TO BE WEIGHED DOWN. THE CAR WILL NOT ACCELERATE. THE ABS BRAKES GO OFF, AND THE EMERGENCY BRAKE LIGHTS GO OFF. ALSO, ERROR REPORT APPEARS STATING THAT THERE IS A BRAKE FAILURE. IT PUTS ME AT RISK FOR ACCIDENTS BECAUSE ON BOTH OCCASION I WAS DRIVING THE CAR. (3) WHAT WAS DONE TO CORRECT THE FAILURE: I TOOK THE CAR INTO A JAGUAR DEALER, BUT JAGUAR CAN NOT RECREATE THE ERROR, SO THEY ARE UNWILLING TO REPLACE THE BRAKING SYSTEM. *JB

2003 S TYPE WOULD NOT START, TURN SIGNAL STUCK, TRUNK LIGHT INOPERABLE. RAIN SENSORS ARE INOPERABLE. *TS ***NAR*** THE DEALER REPLACED THE BATTERY, TURN SIGNAL AND TRUNK SWITCH. THE RAIN SENSOR WAS INOPERABLE. THE ENGINE MALFUNCTION WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. DURING DIAGNOSTIC THE TECHNICIAN FOUND ENGINE MISFIRE CODES. THE ENGINE WAS REPAIRED PER BULLETIN S303-21. THE EMERGENCY BRAKE FAILED. THE EMERGENCY BRAKE CONTROL MODULE WAS REROUTED PER THE RECALL. RIGHT HAND INDICATOR FAILED. THE ABS AND BRAKE WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED AS WELL AS THE PARKING BRAKE WARNING LIGHT. *NM

2004 JAGUAR S-TYPE NEEDED NEW BRAKES WITH 30,000 MILES ON THEM AND TIRES NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. *TS THE ABS LIGHT HAD ILLUMINATED, A WIPER MOTOR WAS INSTALLED AND THE REAR BRAKE LINE AND ROTORS WERE REPLACED. *JB

I PURCHASED A S-TYPE JAGUAR 2003 JUNE 11, 2002 FROM PARK PLACE JAGUAR HOUSTON, TEXAS, I TOOK THE CAR IN BEFORE 5,000 MILE CHECK UP AND COMPLAINED ABOUT THE BRAKES, A FEW MONTHS LATER TOOK THE CAR IN FOR 5,000 MILE CHECK UP COMPLAINED ABOUT THE BRAKES WAS TOLD THAT I NEED A MASTER CYLINDER, CAR WAS LEFT WITH THE DEALERSHIP FOR A WEEK. MONTHS LATER THE BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON AND WOULD NOT GO OFF. JAGUAR FROM NATIONAL SENT A WRECKER TO PICK UP THE CAR AND DELIVERED IT TO PARK PLACE JAGUAR FOR REPAIR. THE CAR WAS IN THE SHOP FOR A WEEK AGAIN. HAD A TIRE TO WEAR OUT DUE TO FAULTY BRAKES, STILL NOTHING WAS DONE REGARDING THE BREAKS, I WAS UNDER THE IMPRESSION THAT THE BRAKES HAD BEEN FIXED UNTIL JANUARY 11,2006 WHEN I TOOK THE CAR IN FOR IT'S 30,000 MILES CHECK UP AT 29,415 AND WAS INFORMED BY ZACK ADAMS THE SERVICE ADVISOR THAT I NEEDED NEW BRAKES AND IT WOULD BE $585.36 I THANK GOD THAT ZAG FINALLY SAW THE PROBLEM NEEDED FIXING. FOR THE REPAIR, I HAVE RECEIPTS UPON YOUR REQUEST FOR THE MANY OF TIMES THE BRAKES WERE ADDRESSED FOR THE WARRANTY WAS OVER, IT IS EVIDENCED THAT I WAS SOLD A CAR WITH FAULTY BRAKES. AND JAGUAR FAILED TO PROVIDED ME WITH THE SAFETY OF MY CAR FOR 2 1/2 YEARS. IF I HAD BEEN A DRIVER THAT RODE THE BRAKES CONSTANTLY ON THE HIGHWAY, I WOULD BE A FATALITY PERSON. JAGUAR WAS NEGLIGENT IN REPAIRING MY CAR SAFELY AND REFUSES TO OWN UP TO THEIR FAILURE. ALSO THE POORLY QUALITY OF TIRES THAT I ALSO REPORTED TO THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AND WAS NOT HELPED. I PURCHASED NEW TIRES FROM DISCOUNT SERVICES FOR $539.09. THE CAR WAS NOT SAFE AND A TRAFFIC HAZARD, I CONTACTED THEM SEVERAL TIMES REGARDING ISSUE WITH CAR. IT SHOULD NOT BEEN 2 1/2 YEARS TO GE BREAKS REPAIR WHEN I STARTED COMPLAINING 2 MONTHS AFTER THE PURCHASED OF THE CAR. *JB

CONSUMER WAS CONCERNED THAT REAR BRAKES HAD TO BE REPLACED AT 15,000 MILES.*AK

THE ABS LIGHT AND A MESSAGE STATING ABS FAULT/PARK BRAKE FAULT WOULD DISPLAY WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. WHEN THE CAR WAS STOPPED AND RE-STARTED, THE MESSAGE WOULD RE-SET. THIS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES (> 5), AND THE DEALER DID NOT FIX FOR SOME TIME BECAUSE THEY NEVER GOT TO SEE THE MESSAGE. WE NOTICED THAT THE PROBLEM OCCURRED DURING OR AFTER A HEAVY RAIN. THE DEALER THOUGHT THERE MIGHT HAVE BEEN A PROBLEM WITH A SENSOR ON THE WHEEL.ULTIMATELY, THE DEALER REPLACED THE ABS MODULE.*AK
