“The contact owns a 2007 Jaguar XK. While driving 20 MPH, the vehicle experienced numerous computer failures, which caused a complete loss of power, manual steering, and braking ability. The vehicle was taken to the dealer five times. Each time, the dealer diagnoses a different failure; however, the symptoms are always the same. The battery was replaced three times and they enhanced the computer program and replaced the ABS. The failures are temporarily corrected for approximately a week, but then recur. The failure mileage was less than 1,000 and current mileage was 9,500.”
