Following was sent to us customs. I'm at risk in this car, by jaguar design error-and refusal to correct the error. [xxx] in my case the car suddenly and spontaneously, without apparent reason, went into what jaguar calls 'limp home' mode, a walking pace. Fortunately it happened on an urban parkway, posted at 55 mph, and i had just turned right, on to it, into the right-hand lane. The problem is common to jaguar cars as shown by internet postings. Jaguar have stated that limp home cannot be disabled because it is intended for the safety of the mechanical parts of their cars. I have a string of communications running from november 2nd that i could send to provide greater detail, but i'd like to know what you folks can do, and whether there are good legal ground to support my demands. I have made this initial contact with us customs because jaguar exports cars to the us with unstable computer systems compromising their safety and i believe that you connect with nhtsa. But my problem is immediate and i'd like some assurance that my case will be dealt with quickly, and that i can be in contact with a person that i can send further material to. Attached is initial letter to jlr. At their request i contacted jlr north america in mah wah nj. (jaguar land rover north america executive case: 8000216414 / your 2006 s-type.) they sent me on to local dealers. All have stated they won't disable the limp home mode because it protects the mechanical parts of the car ... (and puts humans at risk as a result). They have been as capricious in dealing with my complaint as they have been with the careless design of their limp home mode! I think jlr has failed the u.S. Import regulations and would like cbp to order them to disable the limp home mode. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.S.C. 552(b)(6). *tr*jb

I have a jaguar whose front leaper on the hood has fallen off due to the wires rusting because water accumulates in it, then it ultimately comes undone and falls off due to the disintegration of the rusty wiring that holds the leaper onto the hood. This appears to be a design defect. The leaper is a heavy piece of metal and could do damage to vehicles that may be traveling behind or to the owner?S vehicle itself should this come off while driving on the highway. I contacted my local jaguar dealership to advise the service manager and was told that they have had this occur in the past but there is no manufacture fix or recall known, just parts from hardware store that they use to reattach the leaper on the hood. However, they would re affix if my car is under warranty, but the car is barely just over warranty period. Even if they do reaffix the leaper, it is not with jaguar parts and vibration could loosen the nut, where it again may come off. The leaper also came off on another jaguar we owned as well, but we were not sure where it was lost - on roadway or highway. I an concerned that the leaper coming off could become a real safety issue if this occurs at high speeds any time on the highway. The good news is that i notice the newer jaguar models no longer have the standing leaper on the front of the hoods, but have been replaced by an emblem design. Perhaps jaguar knows about the leaper coming undone and they have re-designed. However, what of the cars that currently have the leaper on the hood? *tr
