“MADE A 500 MILE ROAD WHEN THE AIR SUSPENSION FAULT MESSAGE CAME ON ( YELLOW LIGHT), BUT THAT HAD HAPPENED PERIODICALLY AND SEEMED TO BE A COMPUTER FAULT. THE CAR RAN FINE. THEN AFTER A 2 DAY PERIOD OF NO USE, WHEN THE CAR WAS STARTED A RED WARNING LIGHT CAME INDICATING VEHICLE TOO LOW AND ON OUTSIDE INSPECTION THE CAR WAS TOO CLOSE TO THE TIRES. IN 2010, BOTH SUSPENSION STRUTS WERE REPLACED.”

“FIRST OFF, CAR HAD ABS LIGHT ON. DEALER REPLACED EVERY ABS COMPONENT. NOW ENGINE AND ABS LIGHT ARE INTERCHANGING ON AND OFF. BELIEVE TO BE A WIRING FAULT. ALSO, TRANSFER CASE HAS GONE OUT TWICE IN 2 YEARS. I HAVE HEARD FROM MULTIPLE SOURCES THAT TRANSFER CASES FAIL OFTEN IN THESE CARS WHICH I BELIEVE TO BE A MANUFACTURERS DEFECT.”

“The contact owns a 2004 Jaguar XJ. The contact stated that while depressing the brake pedal, the brake pedal felt spongy and an excessive amount of force was needed to depress the brake pedal. The brake pedal almost went to the floorboard before the vehicle came to a stop, causing the braking distance to be extended. The message that the brake fluid level was low remained illuminated. There was brake fluid leaking from a fractured cross-member brake pipe. The vehicle was taken to a certified mechanic, who found that the underfloor tray was corroded, causing the floor to fracture. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure was associated with NHTSA Campaign Number: 09V144000 (Service Brakes, Hydraulic); however, the VIN was not included. The manufacturer was not informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 128,000.”

“THE TIRE IN QUESTION, DRIVERS SIDE FRONT, WITHOUT NOTICE COMPLETELY DEFLATED CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO GO OUT OF CONTROL AT APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH, SPIN OUT, GO THROUGH THE MEDIAN AND INTO THE OPPOSITE LANE. ON THE INSIDE OF THE TIRE (SIDE CLOSEST TO THE ENGINE), THE SIDEWALL OF THE TIRE HAD BEEN COMPLETELY REMOVED FROM THE TREAD. NOTE: TIRE TYPE IS A ZRI WHICH IS NOT LISTED A CHOICE IN THE DATABASE. *TR”

“THE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON WITH ONLY 54,000 MILES ON THIS JAGUAR, THAT IS NOT NORMAL AS I HAVE OWNED JAGUAR CARS FOR 3 DECADES. ALSO THE AIR SUSPENSION FAILURE OCCURRED AT 55,000 MILES WHICH IS THE CURRENT MILEAGE AND THE CAR WAS PARKED FOR TWO WEEKS WITHOUT ANY MOVEMENTS. THIS VEHICLE DRIVES LESS THAN 3000 MILES A YEAR NOW AND I'M SUPER DISAPPOINTED IN THIS FACTOR WHERE AS MY WIFE'S MERCEDES S500 WITH 139,000 MILES ON IT HAS NO ISSUES ON IT AT ALL.”
