The contact owns a 2004 Jaguar Xj8. While driving 65 mph, the front end of the vehicle lowered and began bouncing up and down. The vehicle experienced a loss of suspension, which caused the driver to lose control of the vehicle. A few warning lights illuminated on the instrument panel, two of which stated "vehicle too low" and "error suspension fault". The vehicle was towed to a Jaguar dealer and they stated that the failure was due to the suspension relay. The vehicle was repaired and drove normally for approximately 500 miles.
