“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. …”
NHTSA complaint #10202119, filed 2007-09, 61,200 miles“I took the car in for service and because I heard a noise like something was loose on the passenger side front. The dealer reported that a large bolt that connects the crossbeam and upper control arm caused wear on these parts and that these as well as beam mounting brackes and various bolt all needed to be replaced. They said it was good that I brought it in when I did because the right front wheel could come off at any time. They also said that Jaguar would not cover this repair under their select edition warranty. Estimated cost of repair is over $4000.00”
