3.0 SE automatic

Overall the x-type is a great car but the reliability has been terrible! The following problems have occurred on mine so far:

1. Driver seat rocks back and forth – apparently this is a ’type’ fault and jaguar are working on a fix to be retro fitted to all vehicles in a serial number range. I’ve been waiting 3mths for this to be fixed!
2. Drivers airbag light comes on when using cruise control and then pressing the + to accelerate – fixed by dealer by moving wiring.
3. In cold starting after approx 30 secs there is a noise of something screeching, this can repeat after about another 30 secs – this is another known problem, the dealer replaced the prop shaft but the noise has returned 3 days later so its going back in!
4. Speedo and computer average speed do not match – dealer and jaguar working on a solution
5. Wiper nozzles weeping - another known problem, so its going into the dealer to be fixed!
6. Wiper motor control failed – replaced by dealer
7. Passenger seat belt locked in home position – replaced by dealer

So a great car is being spoiled by poor reliability and taking it in and out of the dealership is getting frustrating.
