What owners report
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. *TR
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. *TR
I WAS INSIDE MY VEHICLE (2000JAGUARXK8) I WAS ATTEMPTED TO LOWER THE CONVERTIBLE TOP DOWN. THE HYDRAULIC LINES WHICH FEED THE MOTOR FAILED AND HYDRAULIC FLUID (3-4OZ'S) POURED OUT FROM THE TOP WHERE THE LIGHT CONSOLE IS IN THE HEADLINER OF THE CAR ONTO ME. SMOKE CAME OUT OF THE LIGHT CONSOLE AS IT WAS SHORTED OUT. I AM REPORTING THIS SAFETY HAZARD SINCE HYDRAULIC FLUID IS FLAMMABLE AND I AM JUST LUCKY, THAT A FIRE DID NOT START AND I WAS NOT SMOKING AT THE TIME. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP WHICH WAS AWARE AND HAD HEARD OF THIS HAPPENING TO OTHERS. THEY WERE ABLE TO REPLACE THESE LINES. I DO NOT HAVE THE OLD PARTS. *TR
MY WIFE AN I HAVE A 2000 JAGUAR XK8 CONVERTIBLE AND THE PLASTIC HYDRAULIC LINES RUPTURED ABOVE THE INTERIOR LIGHT SPRAYING HYDRAULIC OIL EVERYWHERE INSIDE THE CAR, INCLUDING ON US, I CONTACTED THE MANUFACTURER AND AFTER A MONTH OR CONSTANT CALLS THEY DIDN'T FEEL IT WAS A PROBLEM OF THEIRS AND I SHOULD PAY THE $1,500.00 FOR REPAIR, THAT JUST COVERED THE LINES AND NOT THE INTERIOR WHICH WAS COVERED IN OIL. I HAVE BEEN TOLD BY MANY REPAIR SHOPS THAT THIS IS DEAD COMMON IN THESE CARS, WHY HAS THERE NOT BEEN A FACTORY RECALL AS THIS IS A VERY TOXIC/DANGEROUS AND EXPENSIVE BLUNDER ON THE PART OF JAGUAR. LUCKY WE WERE AT A STOP WHEN THIS HAPPENED AS OTHERWISE THE AMOUNT OF OIL I GOT IN MY EYES
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. *JB
