Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Car was parked in garage & gasoline spilled under the car damaging garage floor & smelling up the whole house & garage. car was taken to dealer after we cleaned up the gas & got car out of garage. dealer advised us that they checked with factory & there was a problem with gas tank and that they would have to order tank from a new manufacturer as the one on the auto had a problem. still waiting 2 weeks later for car and dealer still cannot assure us that the new gas tank is from a different manufacturer. jaguar knows that there are a lot of these tanks out there & they have not recalled them, they are waiting for something to happen so that the customer makes a complaint. this smacks of the way that ford company (which now owns jaguar) handled the pinto gas tank problem in the 60's. someone is going to get hurt or killed. we feel that we could have lost our house due to the extreme gas spill in our garage or worse we could have been killed if it had exploded when we opened the garage door. this is a known problem and our dealer says they sold 60 of these cars this year and we are just 1 of the 2 problems they have had reported to them. i asked them if they were going to notify the owners of these 60 vehicles and they said they did not have a technical service bulletin on this
