The vehicle was taken to the dealer (browns Jaguar in richmond, va) where it was diagnosed that the super charger needed to be replaced in order to resolve the engine/exhaust failure, and the upper control arm bushings and trust bushings needed to be replaced in order to resolve the suspension issues. The vehicle was not repaired. …”
