Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“I signed a 36 month lease contract and took delivery of a 2004 Jaguar X-Type from Jaguar of novi on 3/15/04. At approximately 6,700 miles/3 months, the car began to experience a problem where the vehicle, when traveling at speed, will go into safe mode which causes the car to lurch and surge until it can be driven to the shoulder to turn the vehicle off. Once restarted, the check engine light will come on but occasionally, will not stay on. …”
