2003 Jaguar X-TYPE — reported problems

What owners report: issue areas

Owner complaints are classified by the system they concern: 105 classifications in all. One complaint can concern several systems, so these add up to more than the number of complaints.

• Tires & wheels18 (17.1%)
• Powertrain (transmission & drivetrain)16 (15.2%)
• Brakes10 (9.5%)Official recall records for this system: 2, covering model years 2002–2003.
• Air bags (restraint system)9 (8.6%)
• Body & structure9 (8.6%)
• Speed control & accelerator8 (7.6%)

These are counts of records held by CarFaultIQ, not a failure rate. More records can simply mean more vehicles were sold or more owners reported. No vehicles-in-service figure exists in this data, so no reliability or risk score can be derived from it.

What the records are about, by source

Each source is kept separate: owner complaints, recalls, manufacturer communications and investigations are different kinds of record and are never added together. All model years.

• Owner complaints (628 records, model years 2002–2007) are most frequently classified under: powertrain (transmission & drivetrain), tires & wheels and brakes.
• Manufacturer communications (620 records, model years 2002–2008) are most frequently classified under: equipment & accessories, electrical system and powertrain (transmission & drivetrain).

"Most frequently classified under" reports how the records are filed by the source. It is not a finding about causes, and a record can be filed under more than one system. Read the individual records

Mileage reported when the issue occurred

• 56reports included a mileage
• 56,676average of those mileages

This is the mileage owners recorded at the time they reported, not an expected failure mileage and not a prediction for any individual vehicle. The lowest and highest figures on record are not shown: they are unverified odometer entries that include zeros and implausibly high readings, so they would not describe a real range. A median is not shown either, because the stored figures are group totals and a median cannot be recovered from them.
