I owned one - the suspension system is a problem on these cars. An expensive problem. I don't know if it's because of the age of the vehicle, mileage - but it was a problem from the beginning.


EDIT: I read this wrong. I had a 1999. Sorry. Mine was a convertible - I don't know if there are other models. It's the only Jaguar I ever owned and I knew little about the car.

Here's a link to some problems jag had in this year model, there was 4 recalls and if they were not looked at it could be dangerous,2 recalls were for fuel problems,in other words the car could catch fire,check it out.
