It happens that even top models suffer serious breakdowns, even with less than 53,000 km of mileage!
2019 Jaguar XF Sportbrake
LAt the beginning of 2019, when Eric L. of Jouis-les-Moutiers (95 years old) decided to buy a car that was both high-performance, luxurious and spacious, his eyes fell on Jaguar. At the brand’s dealership, he finds a XF Sportbrake 2.0 D 240 steering. It was registered in the fall of 2017, the odometer showed only 6,000 km. Under the maintenance plan, Eric entrusts his machine to a network member Jaguar to conduct a full review every two years. But after 500 km after going to the workshop, the car starts to act capricious.
Long negotiations
The first signs of evil affecting the car are great difficulties when starting. While riding, our reader also notices that his mount is much less nervous than before. Even more surprising in the case of a car with an automatic transmission, the stops become more frequent. So the XF returned to the dealer, who wasted no time in diagnosing the need for a complete engine replacement. In the process, he posted a score of €10,407! It takes several weeks to repair. During this time Eric arranges with Jaguar for full support. But when he gets his car back, he still has to pay 2,736 euros, i.e. 26% of the original estimate.
Our defense strategy
Eric is confused when presented with the bill. If the share paid by Jaguar is important, he doubts it is enough. In addition, he contacts us. After studying his case in detail and excluding any negligence on Eric’s part, our experts came to the conclusion that the care must be complete: the car is less than 5 years old (which excludes the application of the aging norm) and only 52,500 km! Therefore, Jaguar should reconsider its position give back to our reader 100%.
