THE LEATHER DASH HAS SEPARATED FROM THE BACK CAUSING RIDGES IN THE LEATHER UP TO 3/4" HIGH. IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH THIS WILL PREVENT PROPER DEPLOYMENT OF THE AIRBAG. THE LEATHER NEEDS TO BE FIRMLY ATTACHED AND STRETCHED TIGHT FOR THE STITCHING TO RIP CORRECTLY. IF THE LEATHER IS LOOSE AND RIDGED, THE STITCHING WILL ONLY PARTIALLY RIP AND MAY PREVENT FULL AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT INTO THE CABIN.

SUSPENSION FAULT LIGHT COMES ON AND CAR DROPS DOWN,CAN BE DANGEROUS WHEN DRIVING AND CAUSE A ACCIDENT,THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS CAR AND SHOULD BE ADDRESSED BY JAGUAR

UPON STARTING THE CAR AFTER A BRIEF STOP WITH NO PRIOR INDICATION OF BRAKE IRREGULARITIES, THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR. THE CAR WAS STATIONARY AT THE TIME; THE BRAKE PEDAL MUST BE DEPRESSED IN ORDER TO START THE CAR. THERE WAS AN ACCOMPANYING BURNING SMELL AT THIS TIME, PROBABLY ATTRIBUTABLE TO BRAKE FLUID BEING SPRAYED ONTO HOT ENGINE/EXHAUST COMPONENTS. THERE WAS NO USEFUL PARTIAL BRAKE ACTION AT THIS TIME. THE CAR WAS TOWED TO JAG DEALER. NO FLUID IN RESERVOIR, LEFT FRONT BRAKE HOSE HAD LOST INTEGRITY. DEALER REPLACED BRAKE HOSE, FILLED AND BLED SYSTEM. DEALER PROVIDED FAILED HOSE TO OWNER FOR EXAMINATION. AFTER PRESSURIZING THE HOSE WITH VERY LOW PRESSURE AIR IT WAS EVIDENT THAT THERE WAS A COMPLETE FAILURE OF THE SWAGE CONNECTION OF THE HOSE AT THE CALIPER END FITTING. THE HOSE HAS BEEN DISPLACED FROM THE FITTING, AND AIR CAN BE MADE TO ESCAPE FROM THE FITTING/HOSE CONNECTION SIMPLY BY BLOWING INTO THE OTHER END OF THE HOSE. PHOTOS ATTACHED.

I WAS SLOWING TO STOP IN A LINE OF TRAFFIC ON A CITY STREET. AS I SLOWED, THE BRAKE PEDAL FELT SOFT, AND THE CAR REVVED UP, ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE. I THEN PUSHED HEAVILY ONTO THE BRAKE PEDAL BUT HAD NO ABILITY TO STOP THE CAR. THE ENGINE CONTINUED TO REV. LUCKILY, I WAS SLOWING FROM A FAR ENOUGH DISTANCE THAT I WAS ABLE TO FORCEFULLY PUT THE CAR INTO NEUTRAL AND STOP THE CAR. HOWEVER, THE ENGINE CONTINUED TO REV EVEN THOUGH BOTH FEET WERE OFF ALL PEDALS AND THE CAR WAS IN NEUTRAL. I THEN TAPPED THE BRAKE PEDAL IN AN ATTEMPT TO GET THE ENGINE TO STOP REVVING, BUT IT HAD NO EFFECT. NEXT, I TAPPED THE GAS PEDAL TO ATTEMPT TO GET THE ENGINE TO STOP REVVING, WITH THIS, THE ENGINE DID STOP REVVING AND RETURNED TO NORMAL RPM'S. VERY SCARY AND QUITE DISTURBING, ESPECIALLY SINCE I HAVE READ OVER 30 COMPLAINTS ON WEBSITES REGARDING THE SAME ISSUE OTHERS HAVE HAD WITH THEIR JAGUARS. WHY IS NOTHING BEING DONE? HOW MANY PEOPLE NEED TO REPORT THIS TO HAVE A CASE OPENED?
