On july 12,2017 my vehicle stalled and would not start after repeated tries. The vehicle was towed to a jaguar dealer where it stayed for 14 days while they tried to solve the problem.

On august 3, 2017 my vehicle stalled again and would not restart after repeated tries. The vehicle was towed to the same dealer where it stayed for another 15 days.

Mileage on the car was 997 miles entering the dealer and 1149 miles leaving. In the last 7 weeks, I have only driven the car about 100 miles because of my lack of confidence in it.
