Example complaints

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

“The brakes in our Jaguar X-Type suddenly fail without warning. We have prevented any accidents by quickly grabbing for the emergency brake and this has stopped the car. It is very scary because the failure has happened when approaching intersections.”

NHTSA complaint #10209836, filed 2007-11, 28,000 miles

“Dt: the contact complained about brake problem on 2005 Jaguar x type. When applying the brakes the car will not stop. The contact did not recall if the vehicle made any noises prior to braking.

The road was dry all three times. She was concerned about the cold weather . This happened at all speeds. The contact noticed this approximately six months ago. …”
