1995 Jaguar XJS XJS12 review from North America
What things have gone wrong with the car?
After owning this car for 5 1/2 years with only 19,800 miles, adhering to the manufacturer's maintenance schedule scrupulously, their records attest to this, with no warnings of either overheating or coolant loss, we are faced with a total engine replacement costing $17,500.
As of this writing I have been unable to contact the area Jaguar service representative, have received no response from their appeal board and having lost the use of this car for nearly 4 weeks already, can get no definitive answer as to when I will get this car back.
They had no replacement engines available in the U.S. The cost is of major concern, but equally so is the indifference of the manufacturer to this premature engine failure. Anyone else having similar problems can reach me at croegge@hotmail.com. I would appreciate any feedback.
