| Tl- the contact owns a 2011 jaguar xj. the contact stated the heated windshield distorts your vision when driving. this causes the street signs and lights to have a halo and become blurry. the contact spoke with the manufacturer about the problem and was told that since the vehicle was leased there was nothing that could be done, because it would change the design of the vehicle. the failure mileage 25 and current mileage was 5,000.rl | |||
