2003 JAGUAR X-TYPE Structurebody Problems

ROCKERS PANELS ARE ROTTED BOTH SIDES. RENDERING THE CAR UNSAFE. NO DRAIN HOLES EVER PUT IN NOR WAS IT TREATED. THIS IS PROBLEM ON THESE CARS. KNOWN PROBLEM AT THAT.

ROCKER PANELS OR SILLS INNER AND OUTER LEFT AND RIGHT SIDES ROTTEN RUSTED POSSIBLE TOA FRAME. PARKING BRAKE DOES NOT FULL ENGAGE.

LT & RT INNER AND OUTER ROCKER PANELS AND HENCE JACKING POINT ARE RIDDLED WITH RUST/CORROSION, STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY IS COMPROMISED , UNSAFE IN SIDE IMPACT COLLISION OR FRONTAL OR REAR COLLISION , VEHICLE CREEKS AND GROANS AROUND DASH WHEN DRIVEN, FROM WEAKENED STRUCTURE ESPECIALLY AT LOWER "A" PILLARS.

LAST YEAR THE CAR EXHIBITED SEVERE CORROSION IN THE RIGHT AND LEFT "A" PILLAR AREA AT THE BOTTOM WHERE IT BLENDS WITH THE ROCKER PANEL.WORKING ON THE CAR RECENTLY, THE CORROSION HAS PROGRESSED TO THE POINT WHERE THE FRONT JACK LIFT POINT AS OUTLINED IN THE OWNERS MANUAL, IS COMPLETELY UNSAFE TO LIFT FROM. THE CRYSTALLIZATION OF THE METALS ARE PASSED THE SAFE POINT.

WHEN THE HOLE AT THE BOTTOM GETS PLUGGED WITH MUD OR ICE DURING THE WINTER THAT WATER MIXED WITH ROAD SALT CREATES THE PERFECT ENVIRONMENT FOR THIS RESULTING CORROSION. THIS MODEL CAR BEING DRIVEN...

THE ROCKER PANELS WHICH ARE CONSTRUCTED OF STEEL, WITH NO DRAINAGE HOLES AND NO CORROSION PROTECTION. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD AS THE CORROSION IMPACTS THE UNI-BODY CONSTRUCTION WHICH IMPACTS THE SIDE IMPACT STRUCTURE. SEEMS JAGUAR IS AWARE OF THIS MATTER YET REFUSES TO ADMIT A FLAW AND ADDRESSES COMPLAINTS TO THIS ISSUE BY OFFERING CASH ASSISTANCE ON A CASE BY CASE BASIS AND "CODES" IT AS A CUSTOMER COURTESY. MY VEHICLE IS A 2003 X-TYPE PURCHASED NEW IN 2002, RUST WAS FOUND SHOWING THROUGH THE SILL PLATE FROM THE INSIDE OUT, 7 DAYS OVER A 6 YEAR WARRANTY. IN REPAIRING THIS DUE TO JAGUAR REFUSING TO ADDRESS THE ISSUE (YET OFFERED ME A COURTESY OF $3K TOWARDS...
