Jaguar X-Type Lighting problems by year

Headlight adjusters broken. This causes the headlights to point downward at the road and reduced visibility for night driving. It was nearly impossible to see the lines on the road and operate the vehicle. The local jaguar dealership acknowledges that these plastic adjusters are prone to breaking if adjusted and refused to work on the lights or provide a viable solution. Their first claim was that these lights could not be adjusted and sent me away twice without servicing the vehicle. Their solution was to...

My vehicle has the same problem as nhtsa id number: 10766521 filed 9/21/2015. The headlights are angled too low and the mechanic says that a plastic piece is broken and the entire headlight assembly needs to be replaced. I keep the fog lights on to compensate for the limited view of the low beams. I also use the high beams at night whenever I can. The headlights not properly illuminating the road in front of me is an obvious safety issue.

Tl* the contact owns a 2005 jaguar xj. While driving the vehicle, the headlights would intermittently flicker. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who indicated that the head light assembly would need to be replaced. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 72,000.

Driving at night I noticed that the headlights look out of alignment. The right light was about normal, but the left light was aimed down and to the left of the road ahead. It was difficult to see the highway. I purchased the car new. It's never been in an accident or hit on the front end. It's a long way to a dealer, so I went to an independent mechanic who determined that there is a plastic part broken on the back side of the lights. Replacement cost for parts (have to buy the whole assembly) and labor...

Tl* the contact owns a 2005 jaguar x-type. The contact stated that when the headlights or turn signals were activated, the brake lights flashed continuously. The vehicle was taken to a private mechanic who was unable to diagnose the cause of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 127,000.

The zenon headlights flicker and sometimes go out. Restarting the car solves the problem but it recurs after a few minutes. Several inspections by dealer resulted in no repair as they said they could not make the problem occur. Just after the warranty expired the dealer told me that both headlights needed to be replaced and would not be covered under warranty. I paid to have the lights replaced so that I could drive the car at night again but now after a year the same thing is happening again. I believe this is a serious fault that could easily result in an accident while driving at night. *Tr

When I press on the brake to stop, the car accelerates. The harder I press on the brake the more the car wants to accelerate. I have had at least six incidences of this situation in the course of approximations four months. When I brought the car into jaguar service the first time they returned the car to me saying that "there is nothing wrong with the car". When I brought the car to them the second time, I was very specific about how the problem developed. After four days in the shop they were able to...

I have a really difficult time when faced with cars using the high intensity discharge headlights. They are nearly blinding and very distracting. I would like to see these discontinued for all cars in the usa. Thanks. *Jb

The brake switch on the vehicle was replaced three times. The brake lights did not work, putting the consumer at risk for being rear ended. *Ak
