XK8 8-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 50,000 miles
The inside rear view mirror on the 2000 Jaguar XK8 failed before I purchased it in March. It is an auto chromatic mirror that is supposed to dim at night. However, when it failed it clouded up the mirror and it is very difficult to see, there are 2 images, and it doesn't dim at night. I spoke to the dealer and the manufacturer to see if they would replace this. They said that it was out of warranty. I told them that this is a safety issue because you cannot properly see out of the review mirror, and that this seems to be a very common problem with these mirrors. It seems that the majority of them have failed. I cannot believe that there isn't a safety recall on this.
