Gas tank replaced under national recall in 2007. Gas tank needs to be replaced again. No gas tanks are available and it appears Jaguar will not replace the gas tank a second time. My life is in danger and it appears to me that Jaguar has the potential for a class action law suit on their hands.

The FOB sometimes fails to work causing me to use the mechanical key which triggers the alarm in the process. The dealership in Minneapolis replaced the FOB but problem still exists.
