problem #4

Jun 242010

S-TYPE

  • 53,000 miles
The contact owns a 2000 Jaguar S-type. The side air bag on the drivers side suddenly deployed while driving 35 mph. No one was injured and the contact was able to drive to her residence. The manufacturer was called and informed her to take the vehicle to the dealer so that they could perform a diagnostic test in order to view the error code and determine why the air bag deployed. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who stated that the vehicle bottomed out which caused the air bag to deploy. The vehicle was not repaired by the dealer. She will notify the insurance company regarding the repairs. The dealer and the manufacturer will not repair the failure. The failure and current mileages were 53,000.
