ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS I'VE HAD PROBLEMS WITH MY 2000 S TYPE JAGUAR. THE TRANSMISSION CAUSES MANY SAFETY PROBLEMS. SUCH AS NOT SHIFTING, HESITATION ETC. WHICH COULD BE A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE WHILE DRIVING ON THE HWY. ONCE MY FIANCE WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE AND THE HESITATION OF THE TRANSMISSION CAUSED HIM TO SLAM INTO THE CURB CAUSING MAJOR DAMAGE TO THE FRONT END. I'VE ALSO HAD THE TRANSMISSION GASKET REPLACED AT THE DEALERSHIP. NOW ITS BACK IN THE SHOP AWAITING A NEW TRANSMISSION. JAGUAR IS NOT TAKING ANY RESPONSIBILITY OF THESE PROBLEMS. SEVERAL OTHER JAGUAR OWNERS HAVE EXPERIENCED SIMILAR PROBLEMS. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. [XXX]. *NM
