What owners report
Short excerpts of NHTSA complaints in the original wording. These are owner statements not verified by NHTSA; personal data removed.
Parking brake fault/e-brake module ...my vehicle was stationary and my attempt to start the vehicle I was unable to move it out of gear. I took it to the dealership and they offered to repair or replace the e brake module.
The contact stated while driving approximately 35 mph, the vehicle stalled without warning. The vehicle was merged to the side of the road and restarted. The failure recurred four times over a period of one year. The vehicle was taken to a dealer who was not able to duplicate the failure.
Approximately 1 month ago I started having an issue with the electronic parking brake not releasing itself when the car was shifted out of the "park" position. It takes a good 15-20 minutes of driving the vehicle and applying the brakes several times before the electronic parking brake will disengage itself.
Purchased 4 nexen tires for 2007 jaguar s-r in april 2013. Have done very little driving since purchase. Right rear tire keeps losing air. Today, discovered that right front tire has large knots on it, do not know about the in side condition of tires. I did not ask for cheap tires, but believe that is what I have.
The contact stated the drivers side seat would shake and was not stable. The dealer and manufacturer denied any assistance with repairs to the vehicle. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure and current mileage was 40,000.
Parking brake failure, disc not availabe and engine failed. All these indicators came on one after the other and the brakes would not stop the car, nor would the car accelerate. The car leaped forward and then slowed to a stop on its own.
