Visibility/Wiper · at 61,000 miles · reported Jul 30, 2014
I was parked in my driveway, after driving home from the local supermarket with the convertible top down - and upon pressing the "roof" button to raise and lower the top to it's closed position - I noticed that the right rear (Passenger side) quarter window would not raise up closed like the left side. Upon further investigation I discovered that this problem has been happening to many similar model year & make vehicles, and has been noted in TSB bulletin # 501-49. I respectfully ask that this issue generate a recall from jaguar to remedy the problem.

I was driving about 65 miles an hour on the freeway when my knee bumped the ignition/key and turned the car off. I did not think much of it at the time and was able to handle the dangerous situation. After seeing all the serious issues with GM and chrysler thought I should drop you a line.

The inside rear view mirror on the 2000 jaguar xk8 failed before I purchased it in march. It is an auto chromatic mirror that is supposed to dim at night. However, when it failed it clouded up the mirror and it is very difficult to see, there are 2 images, and it doesn't dim at night. I spoke to the dealer and the manufacturer to see if they would replace this. They said that it was out of warranty. I told them that this is a safety issue because you cannot properly see out of the review mirror, and that this seems to be a very common problem with these mirrors. It seems that the majority of…
Air Bags · at 75,700 miles · reported Apr 23, 2007
I get an airbag warning light which indicates that the airbag may not work. I took the car to the dealer, they plugged the car in and told me that they got a fault code indicating that the airbag cassette reel needed to be replaced. The cost was around $355.
