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.

THIS IS A 2008 VEHICLE ALWAYS GARAGE KEPT, 50,000 MILES, EDGES OF WINDSHIELD ARE DELAMINATING, THE EDGES NOT EXPOSED TO THE WEATHER AND ELEMENTS. THIS COMPROMISES THE WINDSHIELDS STRENGTH. EXTERIOR OF VEHICLE LOOKS BRAND NEW WITH NO WEAR AND TEAR. CAN SUBMIT PICTURES IF YOU PROVIDE E MAIL ADDRESS TO SEND TO. JAGUAR HAS RECALLED OTHER LATE MODEL VEHICLES WITH A SIMILAR DEFECT, BUT REFUSES TO IDENTIFY THIS VEHICLE AS HAVING A SAFETY DEFECT. THANK YOU *TR
