THE ELECTRICAL ISSUE IN THIS CAR IS COMPLETELY UNBEARABLE, IT CONSISTENTLY DRAINS THE BATTERY UNTIL IT IS DEAD AND CANNOT TAKE A JUMP START. I WAS TOLD BY A GENTLEMAN THAT THERE WAS A RECALL IN REGARDS TO THIS MATTER. THE FUEL SYSTEM IS ALSO A MAJOR COMPLICATION. THE FUEL COMES THROUGH THE VENTS OF THE VEHICLE AND IT IS SO POTENT THAT I HAVE GOTTEN SICK ON A FEW OCCASIONS WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE CAN BE STATIONARY AND IN MOTION WHILE THESE MISHAPS ARE OCCURRING. IT IS REALLY SAD AND DISAPPOINTING TO SELL CARS THIS EXPENSIVE AND EXPERIENCE SO MANY COMPLICATIONS. MY VEHICLE IS IN THE REPAIR SHOP AT THIS VERY MOMENT.

TAKATA RECALL. THIS COMPLAINT RELATES TO HOW LONG IT IS TAKING FOR MY DEALER TO REPLACE MY RECALLED PASSENGER AIRBAG. I WAS ISSUED THE RECALL NOTICE FROM JAGUAR IN JULY OF 2016, BUT 8 MONTHS LATER THEY STILL SAY THEY DONT HAVE PARTS TO CORRECT THE SAFETY ISSUE. I FEEL THIS IS NEEDLESSLY LONG AND PUTTING MY SAFETY AT RISK.
