Concentration in one or two component groups is the classic signature of a systemic defect; a flat distribution usually reflects normal aging, warranty complaints, or isolated build-plant variability.
NHTSA currently has 2 investigation files overlapping the 2000 JAGUAR.

20020429POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
I PURCHASED A NEW 2000 JAGUAR S-TYPE IN APRIL OF 2000. SINCE THAT TIME, I 'VE HAD RECURRING PROBLEMS WITH THE TRANSMISSION. JAGUAR REPLACED THE ORIGINAL TRANS. WITH A NEW ONE AT 8801 MILES. SINCE THAT TIME, THE TRANS HAS NOT WORKED PROPERLY. THE VEHICLE WHEN ON A MODERATE SLOPE, WILL ROLL BACK UNCONTROLLABLY WHEN THE TRANS. IS ENGAGED FROM REVERSE TO DRIVE. JAGUAR STATED AT FIRST THIS IS NORMAL UNTIL A REPRESENTATIVE FLEW OUT TO DISCLOSE THAT THERE IS A SERIOUS DESIGN FLAW WITH THE CAR. THEY WOULD LIKE FOR A STRUCTURAL ENGINEER TO LOOK AT CAR TO SEE IF HE CAN REMEDY THE PROBLEM. I'VE BEEN BACK AND FORTH TO DEALERSHIP WITHOUT ANY SUCCESS. I WOULD LIKE YOU TO CHECK ON THIS PROBLEM BEFORE SOMEONE GETS SERIOUSLY INJURED OR KILLED! ALSO, THEY WILL NOT GIVE ME A RECEIPT FOR WORK THEY DID ON CAR ON APRIL 2, 2002. SERVICE MANAGER STATED HE COULDN'T BECAUSE HE HAD TO PROTECT DEALERSHIP.
