2010 JAGUAR XFR. CONSUMER STATES ENGINE MALFUNCTION *TGW THE CONSUMER STATED HIS WIFE WAS DRIVING 70 MPH ON THE INTERSTATE WHEN THE ENGINE SUDDENLY QUIT RUNNING. THE CONSUMERS WIFE MANAGED TO MANEUVER THE VEHICLE TO A NARROW STRIP BETWEEN THE OUTER LEFT EDGE OF THE FAST LANE AND GUARD RAIL. THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT RESTART; AND THE DASHBOARD DISPLAY SAID ENGINE MALFUNCTION. PRIOR TO THE INCIDENT, THE CONSUMER TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER BECAUSE THE LOW LEVEL FUEL LIGHT WAS ALWAYS ILLUMINATING JUST AFTER A FEW MILES OF DRIVING; EVEN WITH A FULL TANK OF GAS. AS SOON AS THE VEHICLE WAS RETURNED TO THE CONSUMER AND HE STARTED THE ENGINE, THE LOW LEVEL FUEL LIGHT ILLUMINATED AGAIN. THE CONSUMER WAS THEN INFORMED A NEW GAS TANK WOULD HAVE TO BE ORDERED BECAUSE THE SENSOR IN THE GAS TANK WAS OBVIOUSLY DEFECTIVE. THE DEALER INSTALLED A NEW GAS TANK AND THE LIGHT NEVER CAME BACK ON. *JB

TIRES
WE WERE DRIVING NORTH ON I-75 AND EXITED AT HIGHWAY M-24. AS WE TURNED RT., THE LEFT FRONT TIRE LOST AIR PRESSURE (LT. FRONT CAR TIRE WAS RECENTLY CHANGED AND NOT SURE PROPER SEALANT WAS USED WHEN INSTALLING NEW TIRE) AND THE CAR SUDDENLY SHOT TO THE LEFT AND WE WENT OVER AN EMBANKMENT INTO A DITCH FOR APPROX. 20 FEET THEN SHOT UP AND OVER AN EXPRESSWAY ENTRANCE RAMP INTO A STEEL BARRIER. THE SEAT BELTS WERE ON BOTH OF US AND THE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. WE BOTH SUFFERED SEVERE BLUNT FORCE BODY TRAUMA AND HAD TO BE TAKEN BY EMS TO THE LOCAL HOSPITAL. RECOVERY HAS BEEN SLOW AS WHIP LASH AND BACK INJURIES JUST DON'T SEEM TO WANT TO HEAL. ON ANOTHER NOTE, MY RIGHT EAR WAS DAMAGED BY THE EXPLOSION FROM THE AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT AND NOW I HAVE HIGH SHRILL RINGING 24/7 AND CAN'T SLEEP. I HAVE BEEN TO HEARING SPECIALISTS AND THEY SAY IT IS TENITIUS (SPELLING) BUT THERE DOES NOT SEEM TO BE ANY SOLUTION. DOES ANYONE IN GOVERNMENT HAVE ANY SOLUTIONS? THIS IS DRIVING ME CRAZY. *TR
