1999 JAGUAR SEDAN RANGE — Problems, Recalls & Safety Data

ON 07-24-2000 I WAS FORCED TO SLAM ON MY BRAKES TO TRY TO AVOID HITTING THE REAR END OF A CHEVROLET S-10 PICKUP TRUCK . MY ANTI-LOCK BRAKES LOCKED UP AND I SKIDDED ABOUT 20 FEET BEFORE IMPACTING THE REAR OF THE S-10 WHO HAD ALREADY HIT A RED VAN THAT SLAMMED ON BRAKES TO AVOID A DOG. UPON IMPACT, MY AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. BOTH MY PASSANGER AND I WERE WEARING SEATBELTS. MY PASSANGER SUSTAINED WHIPLASH AND BOTH LEGS WERE INJURED FROM UNDERNEATH DASH BOARD. I ALSO SUSTAINED WHIPLASH TO MY NECK AND BACK. I REPORTED THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKE AND AIR-BAGS FAILURES TO DAIMLER-CHRYSLER MANUFACTURE. I WAS TOLD A SAFETY INSPECTOR WOULD CONTACT ME. HE DID. HIS NAME WAS DON WADE. HE WANTED ME TO DRIVE THE JEEP TO A DEALERSHIP BUT I TOLD HIM HE COULD COME TO MY HOME AS I WAS AFRAID TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE AS IT WAS ALREADY A SAFETY HAZARD FROM MECHANICAL PROBLEMS CHRYSLER REFUSED TO FIX AND NOW WITH THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKES FAILING AND AIR BAGS NOT DEPLOYING, I WAS AFRAID TO PUT IT ON THE ROAD. I ALSO TOLD HIM I WAS AFRAID IF I HIT A BUMP OR POTHOLE IN THE ROAD, THE AIR BAGS WOULD DEPLOY SINCE THEY DIDN'T UPON IMPACT. HE IS SUPPOSED TO CALL ME AGAIN WITHIN THE NEXT TWO DAYS AND HE WAS NOT VERY NICE AT ALL. CHRYSLER HAS ALREADY VIOLATED A MEDIATION DECISION ON THIS VEHICLE AND NOW THERE ARE THESE SAFETY ISSUES AS WELL. I DO NOT TRUST DAIMLER CHRYSLER, THEIR DEALERSHIPS, ESPECIALLY CROSSROADS JEEP IN INDIANAPOLIS SINCE THEY HAVE ALREADY LIED AND REFUSED TO HONOR THE MEDIATOR'S SUPPOSEDLY BINDING DECISION ON PREVIOUS SAFETY ISSUE WITH THIS VEHICLE. *AK
