| 2004 | SUSPENSION:FRONT:CONTROL ARM:LOWER BALL JOINT | THE JAGUAR X TYPE VEHICLE MAKES A CLICKING NOISE FORM THE PROP SHAFT WHENEVER THE VEHICLE GOES OVER ANY KIND OF STREET OR SPEED BUMP.*AK |
| 2003 | STRUCTURE:FRAME AND MEMBERS | THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM IN WHICH NO ONE SEEMS TO WANT TO ADDRESS. THERE IS A KNOWN FLAW IN THE MANUFACTURING PROCESS OF THE JAGUAR X-TYPE MODELS FROM 2002-2005. THE ROCKER PANELS WHICH ARE CONSTRUCTED OF STEEL, WITH NO DRAINAGE HOLES AND NO CORROSION PROTECTION. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD AS THE CORROSION IMPACTS THE UNI-BODY CONSTRUCTION WHICH IMPACTS THE SIDE IMPACT STRUCTURE. SEEMS JAGUAR IS AWARE OF THIS MATTER YET REFUSES TO ADMIT A FLAW AND ADDRESSES COMPLAINTS TO THIS ISSUE BY OFFERING CASH ASSISTANCE ON A CASE BY CASE BASIS AND "CODES" IT AS A CUSTOMER COURTESY. MY VEHICLE IS A 2003 X-TYPE PURCHASED NEW IN 2002, RUST WAS FOUND SHOWING THROUGH THE SILL PLATE FROM THE INSIDE OUT, 7 DAYS OVER A 6 YEAR WARRANTY. IN REPAIRING THIS DUE TO JAGUAR REFUSING TO ADDRESS THE ISSUE (YET OFFERED ME A COURTESY OF $3K TOWARDS REPAIRS), THE RESULT WAS FAULTY MFG OF '02 - '05 MODELS IN WHICH THE MODELS WHERE ALL DEFECTIVE. THE ROCKER PANEL IS BUILT IN STEEL, WITH NO DRAINAGE HOLES ALLOWING FOR SALT/WATER TO CAPTURE INSIDE, THUS CORRODING THE UNIBODY AND A-FRAME OF THE CAR. I HAVE RECEIPTS AND ONLINE PROOF OF THIS DEFECT AND IGNORING OF THE ISSUE. I AM SEEKING RESTITUTION FOR THE ADDITIONAL $4K PUT INTO THE REPAIR (JAGUAR CONTRIBUTED $3K AS A "COURTESY") OF THE VEHICLE. THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED AS A TOTAL RECALL OF X-TYPE MODELS SHOWING PROOF OF RUST AND/OR INVOICED REPAIRS. I AM IN THE PROCESS OF SPEAKING WITH THE DIVISION OF MOTOR VEHICLES, DEALERS/LICENSE DEPARTMENT WITH DIRECTION FROM THE ATTORNEY GENERALS OFFICE AND AM AWAITING THE RESPONSE FROM THE STATE'S BOARD OF ATTORNEYS. I HAD MY CAR TOTALLY REFABRICATED DUE TO A SAFETY CONCERN COMPROMISING THE STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY OF THE CAR. IF THIS COMPLAINT GOES UNATTENDED TO, THEN WHY CAN'T ONE INSPECT A VEHICLE WITH VISIBLE RUST?? MUST BE BECAUSE IT'S A SAFETY ISSUE. *TR |
