Jaguar X-type Problems

The Jaguar X-Type is a compact executive car produced from 2001-2009 that was Jaguar's entry-level offering based on the Ford Mondeo platform. With 944 complaints on record, the X-Type has issues involving power train, tires, and vehicle speed control. While it brought Jaguar ownership to a broader market, the Ford underpinnings disappointed purists. The available AWD system provides all-weather capability unusual for the class.
