2012 Jaguar Xjl

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 JAGUAR XJL. WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE, A KNOCKING NOISE WAS PRESENT COMING FROM THE ENGINE AND EXHAUST FUMES WERE PRESENT INSIDE THE CABIN. IN ADDITION, WHILE DRIVING HIGHWAY SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE SWAYED FROM SIDE TO SIDE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER (BROWNS JAGUAR IN RICHMOND, VA) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE SUPER CHARGER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED IN ORDER TO RESOLVE THE ENGINE/EXHAUST FAILURE, AND THE UPPER CONTROL ARM BUSHINGS AND TRUST BUSHINGS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED IN ORDER TO RESOLVE THE SUSPENSION ISSUES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 40,000.

TAKATA RECALL: I TOOK MY CAR INTO THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP TO DIAGNOSE A SOUND IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. I WAS TOLD THE CAR NEEDED A WATER PUMP, BRAKE SYSTEM REPAIRS, WHEEL ALIGNMENT, AND NEW TIRES. MORE RECENTLY I WAS TOLD THERE ARE MULTIPLE LEAKS IN CONNECTIONS RELATED TO THE WATER PUMP PROBLEM. THERE IS ALSO VIBRATION IN THE STEERING WHEEL. THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT SOUND IS WHEN IDLING IN MY DRIVEWAY; THE STEERING WHEEL VIBRATION OCCURS WHILE DRIVING ON LOCAL STREETS; IT DOES NOT OCCUR WHEN DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT INTERSTATE SPEEDS.

THE PROBLEMS I HAVE ENCOUNTERED, SOME INFREQUENTLY, SOME OFTEN, INCLUDE: THE ADAPTIVE SPEED CONTROL SILENTLY AND INVISIBLY CEASING TO WORK (BUT ONLY AT TURNPIKE SPEEDS); SOME WINDOWS NOT LOWERING WHILE OTHERS DO; THE PASSENGER OUTSIDE MIRROR NOT DIPPING IN REVERSE; THE DRIVER'S DOOR REFUSING TO OPEN FROM THE INSIDE (REQUIRING ME TO CRAWL OVER TO THE PASSENGER DOOR TO EXIT THE CAR); THE TRUNK NOT OPENING WITH THE BUTTON; THE TRUNK NOT CLOSING WITH THE BUTTON; THE RADIO NOT PLAYING (UNTIL THE CAR IS SHUT OFF AND THEN RE-STARTED); THE IGNITION BUTTON NOT TURNING OFF THE CAR ON THE FIRST OR SECOND PUSH; THE SEATS FORGETTING THEIR MEMORY SETTINGS AND REVERTING TO THE DEFAULT SETTINGS WHILST THE CAR IS PARKED AND UNATTENDED; THE ENGINE STARTING AND RUNNING AT 5,000 RPM AND NOT SLOWING DOWN UNLESS TURNED OFF; THE TRUNK OPENING WHILE THE CAR IS MOVING; THE DRIVER'S REAR-VIEW MIRROR NOT EXTENDING WHEN THE DOOR IS UNLOCKED AND OPENED. MANY DAYS THERE ARE NO PROBLEMS; OTHER DAYS MULTIPLE PROBLEMS. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AT MY DEALER TELLS ME THAT UNLESS THE PROBLEMS ARE CONTINUOUS, THEY HAVE NO IDEA HOW TO FIX THEM. I THINK THERE MAY BE A COMPUTER OR WIRING PROBLEM. *TR
