Wheel Bolts Problems of Jaguar S-type

The contact owns a 2008 Jaguar S-type. The contact stated while driving 35mph, there was debris on the roadway, which caused a blowout of the front passenger’s side tire. The contact then pulled over on the side of the highway and attempted to change the tire; however, the contact was unable to remove the lug nuts. As a result of the lug nut failure, the wrench provided with the vehicle became inoperable. The contact drove the vehicle with the flat tire back to the residence. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who diagnosed the vehicle with having poorly designed lug nuts. The vehicle was not repaired but was driven back to the residence. The contact's son who is an independent mechanic was able to bring a special machine needed to remove the lug nuts and repaired the vehicle. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and informed the contact that the failure was a known issue. The manufacturer also advised the contact to bring the vehicle to the nearest dealer which was 60 miles away from the residence for the service. The failure mileage was approximately 49,620.

: the contact stated that while driving on interstate I-45, the front left tire on the Jaguar S-type deflated, forcing the contact to pull off the road. The vehicle was taken to the tire dealer to replace all 4 tires. When the dealer attempted to remove the lug nut from the front right tire, the lug nut separated from the self centering nipple making it impossible to remove the tire. The other 3 old tires were put back on the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to an independent repair shop. As the mechanic attempted to remove another tire, two lug nuts separated in the same wheel. To remove the nipple, the mechanic had to create a groove into the back of the nipple. The dealer advised the contact that the maximum torque for the lug nuts should be 72 foot pounds and all of them were over-tightened by the original dealer. The mechanic was able to fix the problem, and installed and lubricated new lug nuts. The contact returned to the tire dealer and 4 new tires installed on the vehicle.

When I bought the car a week later it blew hot air, I was told it only needed freon. I found out later that there was a leak and it is $1200. A week after that the car would not start the dealer picked the car up and said that the battery was dead because I left the radio on, it has happened over 30 times, not true there is something wrong. I have replaced tires at least six times. Tires completely separate. I was driving and car slowed down on freeway and I was almost hit, I pulled over and it stopped and did it again and I had to push the traction control button, almost cost me my life! it now happens when I hit a bump. When I turn the car makes a extremely loud noise, (embarrassing) I was told it is a ball joint and can catch on fire. Engine light has always been on and is now blinking and the car shakes and hesitates. I had to pay to get the brakes fixed 2 months after purchasing. Radio turns on for no reason and runs battery down. I was told I have two leaks in my shocks and it is $1800 each. When I back up and turn the steering wheel vibrates. I can't even use the cigarette lighter to charge my cell because it does not work and has been replaced twice. The remote just stop working and I was charged $100 to reconfigure. The brakes act funny, can't even explain it. This car is unreal, a complete piece of junk. I can't even remember half the stuff I have endured and the money I have spent.
