Dashboard Failed Problems of Jaguar XJ

This vehicle has had numerous"unusual" issues from "stick-to-your-fingers" control buttons that were changed under warranty to a faulty alarm system that goes off randomly once activated,to exceptionally slow touch screen functions that can only be controlled via touch screen;placing driver in hazardous situations distracted by the significant delay in response' not knowing if command was received and processed. To interior upholstery:ceiling,headliner coming unglued and undone in a relatively short period of time (5 yrs) with particles coming from glue/foam polluting the interior air causing breathing problems;while the manufacturer destined the vehicle to a hot & humid destination. To the major 2 catastrophic gauge/sensor failures:the water pump breaking ,which maybe ok, but when the car temperature gauge doesn't show an increase in operating temp and stays dead center at normal operating temperature and you drive it so you can get to safety of your home since it is not "over-heating" and the steering wheel seizes on you. You ask the dealership and a vague cover-up answer ridden with hesitancy,guilt & a sense of "OH,its normal for the car!" and no remedy offered or issued (maybe I should touch the engine to make sure its not overheating?!). And now this episode:the 2nd catastrophic gauge failure:the vehicles oil is at 25% capacity (only 25% full) no oil pool under the car at any time just a few liquid drops of what seemed to be ac condensation. The car doesn't show an oil pressure drop warning or overheating or any relative warning. Mind you the vehicle does not have a "dip-stick" to check oil levels. The only warning is a service required statement that is pre-programmed at certain intervals by the manufacturer. Even if I did not change the oil exactly on time and I'm a bit late,no warning about low oil content/low oil pressure. Documentation available.
