TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 JAGUAR XJR. THE CONTACT NOTICED FUEL VAPORS EMITTING FROM THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. THE INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE OR REPAIR THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE RECURRED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 108,000.
IT WAS RAINING HEAVILY AND WE WERE ON THE FREEWAY. SUDDENLY THE 2 WIPERS STARTED TO BEAT WILDLY AND THE LEFT WIPER JUMPED OFF THE WINDSHIELD. THE RIGHT ONE CONTINUED TO WIPE AT HIGH SPEED; THERE WAS NO WAY TO STOP WITHOUT CAUSING AN ACCIDENT AS THE TRAFFIC WAS HEAVY. SUDDENLY THE LEFT WIPER RESTARTED AND WENT UNDERNEATH THE RIGHT WIPER AND A FEW MINUTES AFTER THAT THE RIGHT WIPER STOPPED COMPLETELY. WE ARE THE ORIGINAL OWNERS OF THE CAR WHICH WAS BOUGHT AND ALWAYS SERVICED AT THE LOCAL JAGUAR DEALERSHIP. *TR
2 of 2 complaints, reproduced as filed.
No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.
Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.
