Common Jaguar S-type problems
The Jaguar S-Type, produced between 1999 and 2009, has been known to have several common problems that owners have reported. These issues range from suspension components to the climate control system and engine components.
- Ignition Coil Failure: Ignition coil failure is a common problem in the Jaguar S-Type, which can lead to engine misfires and the check engine light coming on. A weak or failed ignition coil can be diagnosed by inserting a spark plug into the coil wire and checking for the presence of a hot blue spark. If there is no spark or a yellow spark, the ignition coil will need to be replaced.
- Central Locking System Failure: The central locking system in the Jaguar S-Type can fail, causing issues with the car's locks. This problem can be traced back to the door locks themselves, which may need to be replaced.
- Lambda Sensor Failure: The lambda sensor in the Jaguar S-Type can fail, causing the engine management warning light to appear on the dashboard. A replacement sensor will need to be fitted to fix this issue.
In conclusion, the Jaguar S-Type has several common problems that owners have reported. These issues can be costly to repair, but many of them can be addressed with budget-friendly solutions. Regular maintenance and inspections can help prevent these problems and ensure the car's reliability and safety.
How reliable is a Jaguar S-Type?
Owns this car
Jaguars are consistently among the best-handling cars of their kind and the Jaguar on this year make a very good car, reliable. The Jaguar usually last with 125,000 or 150,000 miles can be a good investment, since you're likely to clear 200,000 miles or more.
What is the common problem with jaguars?
One of the most common issues in Jaguars occurs in the engine - specifically, the timing chain mechanism. To further explain the problem, we will have to look at the plastic tensioner, which keeps the right amount of pressure on the timing chain and sprockets.
Which is the best engine in Jaguar S-Type?
Don't be put off by the 2.5-litre engine. It may be the entry-level unit, but it's powerful enough for most drivers. The 3.0-litre offers greater performance, while the V8 models are smooth and torquey. But if you can live with V8 fuel bills, you can probably afford the superior diesel.
Is a 2006 Jaguar S-Type a good car?
Edmunds says. A solid all-around luxury sedan, the 2006 Jaguar S-Type is exactly what you would expect from a Jaguar car in terms of style, form and function.

The S-type Jag, 4.0 V-8 sports model is one hot machine. It hugs the road like a magnet on a refrigerator and is solid with no squeaks or creaks. This car is not to be confused with your father's Ford or Jags from the past that had electrical and other problems. Ford has focused on quality and they have delivered.

A very fast cat! It has more than enough power and it's there when it's needed. Comfort is outstanding. Turns are effortless, does not drive like a 4-door. However, I just wish it would stay on the road and not in the shop. The car has had a few issues, such as a front right suspension problem, brakes (rotors and pads) needing replacement just after 25,000 miles, and an electrical 'glitch' that it's currently in the shop for. Despite these setbacks, I still enjoy driving it.

I'm so glad to hear that you're enjoying your new car! It sounds like you made a great choice. From your description, it seems like the handling is particularly impressive - even better than your previous BMWs. And of course, it doesn't hurt that the car looks great and performs well too. Thanks for sharing your thoughts!

Vehicle year: 2005
Fast, luxurious, comfortable, and very easy to handle. It's a shame that my personal experience with the car was not as positive as I had hoped. Unfortunately, I had to trade it in after 25 months due to reliability issues. While it was in the shop for warranty work for 38 days, I did appreciate the wonderful performance when it was running. If you have the resources and live near a Jaguar dealer, it may still be worth considering.

My wife surprised me with a beautiful platinum S Type 3.0 with a big red bow, just like the commercials on TV! I absolutely love my Jag - the styling, comfort, ride feel, power, and the great sound system are all perfect for me. I also enjoy the adoring looks and comments I get from everyone. I now look for excuses to drive, and even when I'm stuck in traffic on the freeway, I don't mind at all!
Are you having problems with your Jaguar S-type?
Hillard O'Connell 2024-11-05
Vehicle year: 2003
The car was purchased new. Although the interior has some flaws and is made cheaply, it has been well-maintained. The headliner fell down after a few years, but it was replaced with a high-quality material. The vanity mirrors have covers that break off easily, but they have been replaced with more durable ones. The clock and radio require the manual to reset, but it is a simple process that can be easily done. The cigarette lighter works some of the time, but it has been checked and is in good condition.
Chaz Erdman 2024-10-13

I am confident in stating that my experience with the S-Type has been less than satisfactory. Despite my careful driving and maintenance, this car (like many S-Types) has presented a multitude of mechanical issues. Within a short period of time and with very low mileage, I encountered problems with the brakes, coolant system, gaskets, radiator, headlights, front brakes, cigarette lighter, O2 sensor, and catalyst. It is my belief that the quality of Jaguar vehicles was subpar, and unfortunately, Ford did not improve the situation.
Jaden Johnson 2024-09-02

It sounds like you've had a tough time with your car. It's frustrating when things don't work as they should, especially when it comes to motor problems and faulty parts. It's a shame that the service actions in the USA weren't as prompt as they were overseas. Dealer repairs can be overpriced, which only adds to the frustration. It's important to have reliable information when it comes to car issues, and it's disappointing when service reps deny what is widely reported. I hope you're able to find a solution to these problems soon.
Adelbert Ebert 2024-09-01

Hey there! If you're considering buying one of these cars, I just wanted to share some things to keep in mind. While they are absolutely beautiful and a dream to drive, it's important to be cautious when it comes to pricing. If you find a deal that seems too good to be true, it could be a sign that something is wrong. Additionally, if you come across a low mileage car that's 20 years old, it's possible that it may have had some early problems or just hasn't been driven much. Some common issues to keep an eye out for include plastic chips and fading on the dash, a failing headliner, and expensive repairs for the transmission, fuel pump, struts, and suspension. However, don't let these potential issues discourage you from owning one of these beauties! Just be sure to do your research and keep these things in mind. Thanks for considering my advice!
Lincoln Toy 2024-06-15

Although the Jaguar S Type was a comfortable and beautiful car to drive, it unfortunately had some electrical and mechanical issues that made it difficult to maintain. The modular computer codes were not updated and the window regulators tended to break often. Additionally, the exhaust sensor readouts were impossible to fix. Despite these issues, the car was enjoyable to drive. However, due to the high cost of repairs, it may be worth considering investing in a different model that is more cost-effective in the long run.
