NHTSA Complaint #11104622 — 2011 JAGUAR XF

ONE DAY, WHILE DRIVING, A VEHICLE DEFECT CAUSED THE DRIVER-SIDE AIRBAG OF MY MOM'S 2011 JAGUAR XF TO DEPLOY, WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION. THERE WAS NO COLLISION THAT PROMPTED THIS EXPLOSION. A DESIGN FAULT OF THIS MAGNITUDE CAUSED THE DRIVER TO LOSE CONTROL OF THE CAR. LUCKILY, A CRASH WAS AVOIDED. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. IMMEDIATELY, MY MOM TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP. AFTER RUNNING CODES AND SPEAKING WITH A REPRESENTATIVE AT THE DEALERSHIP, MY MOM WAS INSTRUCTED TO PAY FOR THIS FAULT MANUFACTURED INTO HER CAR. FURTHER, NO INVESTIGATION WAS COMPLETED TO DETERMINE IF THIS DEPLOYMENT WAS A ONE-TIME OCCURRENCE OR A FAULT IN MULTIPLE CARS. JAGUAR HAS A LEGAL AND MORAL OBLIGATION OF ENSURING THE SAFETY OF THEIR CUSTOMERS.
