“I have a Jaguar XJ6 1988 for about 3 years I never use it until december 2007. I became involved in an accident around dec. 15 2007. The police say that it was my fault because I was moving to flordia during that time I did not fight the case because this is the only vehicle that I have now am using it more often. But I always notice that this car have some problems with the brake system. I though that it was the break pad but is no in good condition. Looking over the internet I found that this car has a recall for a long time which I didn't know about it. Why I was never aware of this. …”
