2007 Jaguar X-TYPE — reported problems

What owners report: issue areas

Owner complaints are classified by the system they concern: 27 classifications in all. One complaint can concern several systems, so these add up to more than the number of complaints.

• Powertrain (transmission & drivetrain)7 (25.9%)
• Brakes3 (11.1%)Official recall records for this system: 2, covering model years 2002–2003.
• Fuel system3 (11.1%)Official recall records for this system: 2, covering model years 2004.
• Air bags (restraint system)2 (7.4%)
• Seats2 (7.4%)
• Speed control & accelerator2 (7.4%)

Other / uncategorized: 1 classifications (3.7%) were not assigned to a specific system by the source. They are counted but not treated as an issue area.

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
