| I purchased a jaguar s-type from chase auto group,inc.. i paid 13,000 in cash and the 3,000 by check.. the dealer sold me a lemon car because he hyped the car and told me that nothing was wrong with the car and low and behold their where electrical problems with the car. the car dash board lights did not work and the radio's light stayed on all the time, and it drained the battery the cd player did not work because their was not a cd player in the car and when i returned the car to be fixed he told me that he would add the cd player and fix the car and all of the necessary things that needed to be done to the car. i went back to check on my car, because he had not called me and he had sold my car to somebody else. i told him that i wanted my money back and he refused to reimburse me for my money and told me that he could give me two cars to make up for my lost. i want all of my money back that this company owes me. *tr | |||

| Received a message fuel computer data error when attempting to use the trip computer. dealer attempted repair be swapping out the instrument cluster, general electronics module, rear electronics module, pcm and fuel senders. problem was not repaired. now, when attempting readings at the odbii connector, they cannot communicate with the system, and cannot find the problem after many hours of labor. the car is due for its state inspection in a few weeks , and will fail due to the inspection facilities inability to access the odbii codes/history. the dealer has given up trying to resolve this issue, and i am facing a failed emission test on my upcoming inspection.....i don't know what to do next, as jaguar clearly won't, or can't resolve the problem.*ak | |||

| 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 | |||
