Trying to register as a new member?
I do not belong to any "social networks" and do not want to under any conditions. I'm just trying to fulfill new membership registration requirements...but I can't figure out how to do that?
Purchased 2, 2011 Jaguars on May 9, 2011. XKR for me, XJL for my wife. First trip on the XJL trying to use the Navigation system was a nightmare...after it kept telling us to get off every exit on the highway...which got old quickly. Finally had to shut it off. My wife drives the XJL a lot...easily 3k a month. Coming off her Mercedes CL55 AMG she has started to "hate" the Jaguar because of the Nav system flaws...and the telephone system that she uses constantly because of business calls. IF she is on a call...the Nav system command system will not work. The dealer doesn't have a clue except to tell us to drive over to them for a "Tutorial" The dealer is an hour and a half away.
My XKR, besides the Nav system that couldn't get me home if I was a few miles from my house, had a complete system failure of the screen, radio,
Nav, you name it a few days ago. After driving home to the sounds of silence...waited a few hours...wait back to the garage and started the car...and it was "normal" Then the "service" light came on...and rear drivers side "tire pressure" light. No way to reset them...the dealer sent a loaner, picked up the car, and did a full one year maintenance on it--less than 2k miles and purchased May 9th. Go figure?
As we all know, beautifully designed car line...real show stoppers. But the "software" etc...is a mess...and Jaguar national service is polite but clueless. These poor Service Techs have never been in a new Jaguar let alone tried to learn the systems.
Like most of you have had our share of BMW's and Mercedes etc. In fact, my interim car for the last year was a Ford SHO...and it was flawless.
If this message goes some place to be read...maybe someone can tell me how to officially introduce myself etc? Thank you.
