vegas, my rockers looks just like yours. For the past year, I've been through the same crap with Jaguar as you described, almost verbatum. Their excuse for denying my claim (also after MONTHS of the run around, and un returned phone calls) was that my car had been in some type of catastrophic accident that managed to crunch both sides hard enough to warrant extensive repair to those areas (but not to total the car, mind you..), and the rust was a result of poor repair work. This was the story they stuck to, despite two written depositions from highly reputable local body shops stating the the paintwork on the car had never been touched, let a lone botched by someone else. The car also has a flawless CarFax record.
They're crooks, and won't stand behind their product or warranty. Simple as that.
I'll never own another X for this problem alone. Mechanical issues I can deal with, but gross failure of the structural integrity of the car is inexcusable. Refusing to fix it under a black and white warranty is robbery.

I want to see Bo's email as well, LOL!!!!

But seriously, Bojangles that is a great story. I give you alot of credit to go see Mr. Moyer and escalate the issue. Sometimes customer service is a joke especially to these large corporations and i'm happy to see that your hard work payed off!

just droped the car off today! They gave me an X-Type as a loaner. Mine is a 2.5, theirs is a 3.0. One thing I must say is damn! That 3.0 is quick. much more then the 2.5. The 3.0 gas mpg sucks but the car is quick! For anyone looking to get an X make sure it is a 3.0.

Hey jvegas,

congrats! make sure you post some after pics.
I also have a 2.5 X-type and now I am more curious to test drive a 3.0 I always thought a bit more power would make my jag perfect!
