SpeedRacer -> Catastrophic Engine Failure (5/21/2008 10:13:58 AM)
|
In addition to my 2007 H3x, I am an original owner of a 2003 x-type with 2.5 motor. All dealer maintenance. I absolutely loved (past tense) this car. The engine seemed to get better as it broke in.
At 100k miles, dealer changed the oil and shortly their after experienced sudden, catastrophic engine failure. Prior to oil change, engine was in peak form.
Towed to dealer who determined it was internal engine but would not open it up to pinpoint problem.
They told me they do not perfom ANY internal engine diagnostics or work.
I was basically told to walk away from the car and check out their new and used models.
A little puzzled and perturbed, I had it towed to a third party mechanic who performed an "autotopsy" and determined that the failure was engine oil related and the fault of a defective oil filter.
I have called Jag USA and started a claim, I hope this will end without legal action (which I am prepared to take). I await their call back.
Any thoughts or comments on any portion of this post would greatly be appreciated.
s/ broken hearted Jag owner.
