JAGUAR Complaints

TAKATA RECALL. THE FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG NEEDS TO BE REPLACED ASAP DUE TO POTENTIAL FOR THE MODULE INFLATOR HOUSING TO EXPLODE AND DEPLOY ABNORMALLY IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH RESULTING IN SHARP METAL FRAGMENTS STRIKING THE PASSENGERS. THE JAGUAR DEALERSHIP ADVISED THEY DO NOT HAVE STOCK OF THE NECESSARY COMPONENTS TO REPAIR MY VEHICLE. PARTS ARE NOT EXPECTED TO BE AVAILABLE UNTIL 3/31/2019 WHICH IS OVER A YEAR FROM NOW AND THAT IS UNACCEPTABLE! WHERE CAN I GO TO HAVE IT FIXED IMMEDIATELY?

TRANSMISSION CONTROL SHIFT MODULE - THERE WAS A RECALL NOTICE K063 DATED 9/19/11 FROM JAGUAR ABOUT TRASMISSION CONTROL SWITCH (TCS) REPLACEMENT FOR THE 2009 XFS. APPARENTLY, THE EARLIER K048 RECALL FOR THE CIRCUIT BOARD FIX DIDN'T QUITE CURE ALL THE PROBLEMS. MY TRANSMISSION CONTROL SHIFT MODULE GOT STUCK WOULDN'T GO INTO DRIVE OR REVERSE; IT WAS STATIONARY. I HAD IT TOWED TO THE JAGUAR DEALER, THEY STATED THAT THE RECALL WAS FOR CERTAIN JAGUARS PARTICULAR TO VIN#'S. I ADVISED THEM THAT MY CAR IS DOING THE SAME THING AS RECALL MANUFACTURER# K063. THEY STATED IT WAS NOT PERTAINING TO MY CAR, SO THEY ARE CHARGING ME $1,200 TO FIX INSTEAD OF APPLY THE RECALL. I BELIEVE THERE HAS TO BE A MISTAKE AND MY CAR SHOULD OF BEEN INCLUDED ON THE RECALL LIST. I NEED SOMEONE TO LOOK MORE THOROUGHLY INTO THIS ISSUE AS I AM GETTING RESISTANCE FROM THE MANUFACTURER, AND DEALERSHIP.

WHILE DRIVING AND MAKING A LEFT HAND TURN AT SLOW SPEED ,I TRIED TO USE MY BRAKES BUT MY CAR ACCELERATED. THERE WERE 2 PEDESTRIANS ON THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF THE STREET. TO AVOID HITTING THEM, I SWERVED TO THE CURB AND IMMEDIATELY TURNED OFF MY IGNITION. ONE OF THE PEDESTRIANS SAID MY FRONT TIRES LOCKED AND MY REAR TIRES WERE SPINNING. FORTUNATELY, I WAS DRIVING IN MY PRIVATE STREET LOCATED IN A TOWNHOUSE COMMUNITY. I COULD HAVE EASILY KILLED SOMEONE. VERY SCARY! THE CAR IS NOW AT MY MECHANICS. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE.02

VEHICLE WENT IN FOR NOISE IN FRONT END. LESS THAN 2000 MILES LATER THE FRONT SUSPENSION DISCONNECTED FROM VEHICLE WHILE DRIVING. UNABLE TO STEER VEHICLE. JAGUAR SAYS DEALER MAY HAVE DONE SOMETHING WRONG. DEALER SAYS CAR IS DEFECTIVE. LUCKILY I WAS GOING AT LOW SPEED WHEN PASSENGER SIDE WHEEL ASSEMBLY BECAME DISCONNECTED FROM CHASSIS. DRIVERS SIDE WAS COMPLETELY LOSE AND READY TO BECOME DISENGAGED FROM CHASSIS. VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION ON CITY STREET TURNING. IF THIS WAS AT ANY SPED, THE VEHICLE WOULD HAVE LOST CONTROL.

INVOLVED IN CAR ACCIDENT WHERE MY VEHICLE WAS TOTALLED AND WHERE THE DRIVERS SIDE AIRBAG NEVER INFLATED, FUNCTIONED AT ALL AND WAS DEFECTIVE. VEHICLE WAS ON SERVICE ROAD IN MOTION
