The Lemon Index
20061st generation
Complaints only. Too few sold to score: 3,198 in the U.S. in 2007 (sales source), under the 20,000 a fair per-car score needs. Owners filed 6 complaints in its first 3 years.

When problems show up
No complaints for this year listed a mileage, so we can't say when problems show up.
Questions to ask the seller
- Any slipping, hard or late shifts, or a transmission warning light? Ask for transmission fluid service records.
- Does it accelerate and hold speed smoothly, with no surging or stalling?
- Any steering noise, wander or power-steering warning? Has the steering rack or pump been replaced?
- Jaguar sent dealers 42 repair notes for this car. Was this one done: “A customer may raise a concern of their vehicle not passing state inspection in california and…”?
From this year's own recalls, top problems, top repair bills and Jaguar's repair notes. Recall repairs are free at any dealer.
How serious. Out of all 6 owner complaints filed so far (every year since it was sold, not just the first 3), owners reported:
“Average car” = what the same number of complaints would include at the rate across every model year we track. Owners report these themselves; NHTSA doesn't confirm the cause.
What owners complain about most. From owner complaints to the government.
Share of this year's owner complaints filed with NHTSA, not the share of cars that break. One complaint can name more than one area.

In owners' words
The whole rear end of the car fell on to the ground.

It measures complaints, not crash safety. A complaint is an owner's report, not a confirmed defect. How it works
