This is just a 5 second search.  I don't know how long you've had your car, but dealers or sellers can't sell you a car that defective and have advertised it as "a real beauty", or "clean car, inside and out", or "runs good and looks good".  I'm sure that the dealer didn't say "The car has it's knicks and knacks, but it's cheap so it's up to you to buy it".  You'd have to be utterly DUMB or a woman to fall under that trick!

I did a search and Illinois does not have a used car lemon law. It only states that if you have a warrenty that the dealer is obligated to do covered repairs. I bought the car in Sept. 06. and it's very easy for the dealer to say that all these problems started after the car was sold to me. Maybe the previous owner just didn't care.

Don't know why they wouldn't....it was under warranty...as long as your dealer is cool to you be happy!  Alot of guys in the x-type forum have stated that the dealers are being big arses about everything!  Good luck getting everything fixed with it....just curious what are you getting for mpg and what did you pay with mileage?  Thanks for the info......and good luck with all!

The problem with my Jaguar service center is that they can't seem to find half of the problems and when they do they want to charge me and I have to argue with them to get it covered. I get about 14 to 15 mpg and paid around 32K with 50K mi. in Sept. 06. That's with navigation and 2 yr. Select edition warrenty. It looks like many things were missed during the certification check or they don't really do any pre sale check and just wait for you to find the problems. It's going in tomorrow for wheel bearings and parking brake pads. Last time it was in they wanted to charge me 340.00 for parking brake pads when they were clearly worn out when I bought the car and they should'nt even be making contact until the key is removed. How do they wear out? If their dragging then that's a defect and should be covered. There is a TSB about dragging parking pads so why try to charge me?

Man sorry to hear about that...is there another jag dealer near you to take the ride to?  Man that 14-15 mpg scares me...pretty bad actually...is there a reason that the mpg is even lower than what the car is rated?  Do you do mainly bad bad city driving or pedal to the metal action!  I say you must drive city and you love hearing the supercharger whine...I know that'll be my excuse!  Once my escape is paid off I've talked my wife into getting the str!  Love the jags and what not but want something bigger and the other jags don't fit my taste like the str does!  Hopefully they help you out man...wonder why they charge you when the car is under warranty...not your fault they can't find it...tell them its jags fault!  My car sometimes will allow the handle to work every time and than sometimes not...my question is how can something be broken and than not broken...seems like broken all of the time makes the most sense!

Thanks, There are no dealers really close. this one is only about 4 mi. from my house. As for the parking brake, it is electronic and automatically applies when you take the key out of the ignition. It also has seperate calipers and pads from the main rear brakes so how do the pads wear out? Constant dragging.

I'd try a dealer a little further...how far away are the others or other one?  The 2 jag dealers are about spread out evenly from me...bout 30 mins to either one...I've had pretty good luck with them the two times i've been there and the troy one sent me a christmas card!  Yeah those brakes sound like a good idea but just like my doors...retarted when the features don't work like they should!

I took it back in today and they were already coming up with excuses about the parking brake wear and how it could be normal so they don't have to commit. Guarentee that they try to charge me $340 to replace them.
