INCIDENT 1: THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS HAS FAILED AT LEAST 10 TIMES DURING A TWO YEAR PERIOD. I HAVE REPORTED THE INCIDENT TO THE MANUFACTURER AT LEAST 5 TIMES. SEVERAL OF JAGUAR FIELD SERVICE TECHNICIANS HAS TRIED TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM BUT WITH NO SUCCESS. AFTER EACH ATTEMPTS TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM, I WOULD CHECK THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS FOR THE NEXT COUPLE OF WEEKS TO MAKE SURE EVERYTHING IS OK BUT UNFORTUNATELY THEY FAIL AT THE MOST HAZARDOUS TIMES DURING STORMY, RAINY WEATHER CONDITIONS. INCIDENT 2: I WAS REAR-END IN THE CENTER LANE OF TWO MERGING MAJOR EXPRESSWAYS AND THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM COMPLETELY FAILED. IT TOOK THE DEALER 3 MONTHS TO GET THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM STARTED. INCIDENT 3: THE VEHICLE WILL ROLL WHILE IN DRIVE IF I AM ON AN INCLINE.*AK

THE OUTSIDE MIRROR ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE WAS REPLACED WITH AN ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT MIRROR FROM THE DEALER. THE REPLACEMENT MIRROR WAS CONVEX RATHER THAN FLAT, CREATING A SAFETY HAZZARD. THE MIRROR DID NOT HAVE THE "OBJECTS IN MIRROR ARE CLOSER THAN THEY APPEAR" WARNING ON IT. THERE MAY BE A BATCH OF CONVEX MIRRORS WITHOUT WARNINGS THAT CAN BE INSTALLED ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE.
VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: PASSENGER VEHICLES. THE FRONT SUSPENSION LOWER BALL JOINTS WERE NOT TIGHTENED TO SPECIFICATIONS WHEN THEY WERE ATTACHED TO THE LOWER CONTROL ARMS.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: IF THE BALL JOINT ATTACHING NUTS ARE NOT ADEQUATELY TIGHTENED, THEY CAN LOOSEN AND ULTIMATELY, RESULT IN FRACTURE OF THE BALL JOINT STUD. IF THE BALL JOINT FRACTURES, CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE COULD BE AFFECTED, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL INSPECT THE TORQUE ON THE TWO BALL JOINT ATTACHING NUTS. VEHICLES WITH LOOSE BALL JOINT ATTACHING NUTS WILL EITHER HAVE THE FASTENERS TIGHTENED TO SPECIFICATION, OR IF NECESSARY, THE BALL JOINTS WILL BE REPLACED.
VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: PASSENGER VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH TRW SEAT BELT BUCKLE ASSEMBLIES. THE BUCKLE BASE OF THESE SEAT BELT ASSEMBLIES WERE NOT PROPERLY HEAT TREATED AND THEREFORE DO NOT PASS THE LOAD BEARING REQUIREMENT OF FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 209, "SEAT BELT ASSEMBLIES."
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: IN THE EVENT OF A VEHICLE CRASH, THE OCCUPANT MAY NOT BE PROPERLY RESTRAINED.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL INSPECT AND CHANGE, IF NECESSARY, THE SEAT BELT BUCKLES.
