NHTSA Complaint #10231910 — 2000 JAGUAR XK8

MY WIFE AN I HAVE A 2000 JAGUAR XK8 CONVERTIBLE AND THE PLASTIC HYDRAULIC LINES RUPTURED ABOVE THE INTERIOR LIGHT SPRAYING HYDRAULIC OIL EVERYWHERE INSIDE THE CAR, INCLUDING ON US, I CONTACTED THE MANUFACTURER AND AFTER A MONTH OR CONSTANT CALLS THEY DIDN'T FEEL IT WAS A PROBLEM OF THEIRS AND I SHOULD PAY THE $1,500.00 FOR REPAIR, THAT JUST COVERED THE LINES AND NOT THE INTERIOR WHICH WAS COVERED IN OIL. I HAVE BEEN TOLD BY MANY REPAIR SHOPS THAT THIS IS DEAD COMMON IN THESE CARS, WHY HAS THERE NOT BEEN A FACTORY RECALL AS THIS IS A VERY TOXIC/DANGEROUS AND EXPENSIVE BLUNDER ON THE PART OF JAGUAR. LUCKY WE WERE AT A STOP WHEN THIS HAPPENED AS OTHERWISE THE AMOUNT OF OIL I GOT IN MY EYES MAY HAVE CAUSED A FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE HIGHWAY. SINCERELY, JOHN & LISA MONAGHAN I CANT IMAGE WHY THEY WOULD USE PLASTIC HYDRAULIC (A FLAMMABLE LIQUID! THANK GOD I DON'T SMOKE) LINES INSIDE THE CAR , BUT METAL HYDRAULIC LINES UNDER THE HOOD ??? *TR
