Complaints on fileComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.

I HAVE A JAGUAR XJ6 1988 FOR ABOUT 3 YEARS I NEVER USE IT UNTIL DECEMBER 2007. I BECAME INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT AROUND DEC. 15 2007. THE POLICE SAY THAT IT WAS MY FAULT BECAUSE I WAS MOVING TO FLORDIA DURING THAT TIME I DID NOT FIGHT THE CASE BECAUSE THIS IS THE ONLY VEHICLE THAT I HAVE NOW AM USING IT MORE OFTEN. BUT I ALWAYS NOTICE THAT THIS CAR HAVE SOME PROBLEMS WITH THE BRAKE SYSTEM. I THOUGH THAT IT WAS THE BREAK PAD BUT IS NO IN GOOD CONDITION. LOOKING OVER THE INTERNET I FOUND THAT THIS CAR HAS A RECALL FOR A LONG TIME WHICH I DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT IT. WHY I WAS NEVER AWARE OF THIS. I NEED TO KNOW WHAT I HAVE TO DO WITH THIS PROBLEM. *TR
