| While traveling south on i-275 in st petersburg, florida, in the middle lane with light traffic, in clear weather with accelent visibility, at between 60 and 65 miles per hour, the passenger side, side impact airbag suddenly deployed. the explosive deployment sprayed shards of hard plastic throughout the passenger compartment. there was no apparent damage to the vehicle. the problem was caused by an impact of a small projectile, probably a medium size pebble thrown up from the bottom of the front right wheel, striking the bottom of the vehicle, which sent a false signal of a side impact to the side impact sensor. the bottom of the vehicle was clean and free of any damage except for a slight indentation almost directly behind the left side of the right front tire, a few feet behind the front right tire. the damage area consisted of an indentation in the bottom of the car; it measured approximately 1.5 inches in length by .33 inches in width, running lengthwise to the vehicle. the indentation was rounded; there was still what appeared to be undercoating material coating the indentation. the thin galvanized metal covering the sensor appears to by design protrude down as if to wrap around the sensor bar in this area. this makes it more susceptible to damage. the problem was clearly caused by either malfunction of, or a design deficiency of the sensor and its mounting. a side impact sensor should in fact measure motion latterly, side to side. the sensor did not do this; it interpreted an upwards motion as a side to side motion. the second issue is the location of the sensor. the sensor is protected by the thin galvanized metal underside of the car; this is another design deficiency. the area in which the sensor is mounted is subject to damage caused by debris being thrown back and up by the front wheels, a common occurrence that anyone who drives a vehicle can relate to.*ak | |||

| I owe a jaguar s-type it has several mechanical problem. i noticed there is no data no where posted regarding this vehicle. (nhtsa,iihs, or dot). no data anywhere on the jaguar s-type. i think that should throw up some red flag as to why are they hiding something? (1) on several occasions my windshield wiper fail to operate. the vehicle was in for service, the mechanics stated that there was a fuse blown, however when the fuse was replaced the windshield wipers continued to malfunction. they work less than 50 % of the time needed. (2) i live in michigan, alot of snow, ice & rain, on more than one occasion i would be drive in the snow or rain, and the wipers would just stop operating for no apparent reason. leaving me totally visually impaired. i would have to turn on my flashers, & pull off the road, then wait until the rain stops or leave the car and call for a ride home. i have loss time at work because of this issue, also missed several appointments because of this continue problem. (3) once the fuse was replaced for the wipers, however the last three times this has happen to me. when checked by a mechanics, no problem was found with the wiper or electrical system, however the wipers seem to have a shortage of some kind. *nm | |||
