“I own a 1999 Jaguar XK8. On august 8th I was riding on the highway when hydraulic fluid started to pour from the overhead near the internal lights. The hydraulic lines which feed the convertible top ruptured; my car has only 62,000 miles on it. I contacted Jaguar to lodge a complaint. They indicated that there had been no complaints about such events occurring in the XK8 model. When I contacted the dealer service they had a ready price to fix the item. Accordingly in the bay at the time were 3 other owners who were experiencing the same problem. …”
