Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“My 2001 Jaguar XJ8 has less than 42,000 miles on it...while driving at an approximate speed of 30 MPH, it suddenly slowed to barely a crawl, and the instrument panel stated that the vehicle had no ABS and trac power. Fortunately, I was on main streets and not a highway, as this could have been detrimental to both my safety and the motoring public in general. After going online to research this problem, I am finding similar complaints. I have not yet taken it to a repair shop, but my research shows that a module would need to be replaced at a cost of $1500!!! …”
