What owners report
INFORMED BY JAGUAR SERVICE DEALER IN CERRITOS ON 02/07 AND 09/27/13 THAT TRANSMISSION HAD FAILED AND REQUIRED REPLACEMENT. CONDUCTED ONLINE RESEARCH DURING THE LAST TWO MONTHS AND DISCOVERED THAT THE AUTO WAS DEMONSTRATING THE EXACT FAILURE AS 1999 JAGUAR XK8 (RECALL NO. 478 - REPLACE TRANSMISSION), AS FOLLOWS: "IT IS IMPORTANT TO EMPHASIZE THAT ANY FAILURE OF A TRANSMISSION WHICH INVOLVES COMPLETE LOCKUP IS ONLY LIKELY TO OCCUR AT VERY LOW VEHICLE SPEED, AS THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTS DOWN INTO 1ST GEAR WITH THE VEHICLE ALMOST AT A SANDSTILL AFTER BEING IN HIGHER GEARS WHEN TRAVELING AT HIGHER SPEEDS."

OBVIOUSLY, A WHEEL SHOULD NOT TRACK FROM MINOR ROAD HAZARDS. I BECAME MOST SUSPICIOUS WHEN I TRIED TO REPLACE THE WHEEL AND I WAS TOLD THAT THE WHEEL HAD BEEN DISCONTINUED. I CONCLUDED THAT THE WHEEL MANUFACTURE HAD EITHER MADE DEFECTIVE WHEELS OR ? MY JAGUAR DEALER IS
