NHTSA Complaint #10260787 — 2003 JAGUAR S-TYPE

I HAVE A 2003 JAGUAR S TYPE R. AT 32,000 MILES I HAD TO REPLACE THE PADS OF MY VEHICLE AT ALL 4 CORNERS. SINCE THEN MY ROTORS CONSTANTLY KEEP WARPING, EVEN AFTER I BROUGHT THE CAR BACK TWICE AND MY REAR BRAKES HAVE UNEVENLY WORN DOWN TO THE POINT THAT MY RIGHT REAR ROTOR STARTED GRINDING. MY CAR HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP NUMEROUS TIMES TO HAVE WARRANTY WORK DONE AND I HAVE INFORMED THE DEALERSHIP OF THE SPECIFIC TSBS THAT CORRELATE TO MY ISSUES. MY REAR PARKING BRAKE MODULE WAS REPLACED TWICE, AS WAS MY RIGHT REAR WHEEL HUB. THE DEALERSHIP DISREGARDS ANY SERVICE BULLETIN THAT I INFORM THEM OF BY SAYING THAT MY CAR DOES NOT FIT INTO THE VIN RANGE, AND IF IT DOES FIT INTO THE VIN RANGE THEY TELL ME THAT ALTHOUGH THERE IS A SERVICE BULLETIN IT IS NOT A BULLETIN COVERED BY THE DEALERSHIP BUT BY THE CONSUMER. MY CAR IS UNDER FULL WARRANTY AND I DO NOT UNDERSTAND HOW A KNOWN PROBLEM ON A CAR IS MY RESPONSIBILITY TO COVER THE COSTS. TO CORRECT THE WARPED DISCS, THE DEALERSHIP RESURFACED MY DISCS PAST THE MINIMUM THICKNESS AND REFUSED TO THEN GIVE ME NEW ROTORS. THE PARKING BRAKE ACTUATOR THEY REPLACED FOR FREE BECAUSE IT WAS AN ACTUAL RECALL, AND FOR THE UNEVENLY WORN REAR BRAKES DUE TO THE PARKING BRAKE ACTUATOR THEY WILL FIX BY CHARGING ME $850 FOR NEW ROTORS AND PADS. THE DEALERSHIP REFUSES TO TOUCH WEARABLE ITEMS SUCH AS BRAKES OR TIRES, EVEN IF THE BRAKES OR TIRES WERE WORN DOWN DUE TO THE MALFUNCTION OF A COVERED ITEM. THE COSTS KEEP BUILDING UP WHEN A NEW SET OF TIRES IS $2000 AND A NEW SET OF BRAKES IS $1600. IF JAGUAR CAN NOT MANUFACTURE A SAFE AND STURDY VEHICLE IT SHOULD NOT BE ON THEIR CONSUMER TO CONSTANTLY PAY TO KEEP THE VEHICLE SAFE AND ROAD WORTHY. *TR
