In the European service world, Jaguar transmission and driveline failures land on our lifts with regularity. 74 complaints across 12 year-model entries (2005–2019) is consistent with what we move in parts orders. The pattern repeats across model years, which usually points to a shared component supplier rather than a single bad production batch. 4 crash reports on file. Not a high count, but the failure mode has put owners in the position to file. Independent-shop repair on this category runs around $2,500; dealer pricing tends to run thirty to forty percent higher on European brands. Pull a transmission fluid sample if you can. Color and smell tell you more than mileage alone. If the fluid is dark or smells burnt, walk.
