As the result of a recent accident i have discovered a manufacturer's defect with jaguar's x-type automobiles that crucially compromises the structural integrity of the vehicle rendering it unsafe for use and is virtually undetectable by visual inspection. i have contacted the dealer i bought the vehicle from and they put me in touch with the jaguar district rep. in nj who declined to even inspect the vehicle. the vehicle is currently in a repair shop and is available for inspection. *tr

Air bag cover is peeling off this gets in the way of steering and driving the car,when steering and turning hands hit on air bag cover that sticks out, i think this is a safety issue which could cause an accident. *tr
