One problem related to front air bag has been reported for the 2002 Jaguar XJ8. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
I was involved in a front end collision where I was hit at a minimum speed of 40 mph. The police, bystanders, and persons who towed my car away couldn't believe the airbags didn't deploy. I addressed the issue with Jaguar and they felt they shouldn't have deployed. All of the damage was in the front of the car equaling $12375. 90.
