MY JAGUAR DISPLAY COOLANT FLASHED AND STATED THAT THE COOLANT LEVEL WAS LOW. SO ON SATURDAY MORNING I CHECKED MY JAGUAR COOLANT LEVEL RESERVOIR AND SURE ENOUGH MY COOLANT WAS VERY LOW. I ALWAYS KEEP A GALLON OF COOLANT ON HAND IN MY GARAGE. SO I TOPPED OFF THE RESERVOIR WITH THE WHOLE GALLON OF COOLANT AND LEFT FOR THE DEALERSHIP. NOW PENSKE JAGUAR AND LAND ROVER WHICH IS ABOUT 14 MILES FROM MY HOME. SO I GOT ON THE 405 FWY SOUTH TO THE 710 LONG BEACH FWY NORTH TO THE 91 FWY SOUTH TO THE 605 FWY SOUTH EXCHANGE TO THE SOUTH STREET EXIT TOWARDS THE DEALERSHIP. BUT DURING THE EXCHANGE TO THE 605 FWY SOUTH MY JAGUAR COOLANT LIGHT IN THE DASHBOARD CAME ON STATED THAT COOLANT LEVEL IS LOW. SO LIKE YESTERDAY I ASSUMED THAT I COULD GO THE EXTRA MILE OR SO TO THE JAGUAR DEALER WHICH AT THAT POINT WAS JUST A FEW MILES AWAY. NOW FROM THE 91 FWY EXCHANGE TO THE SOUTH STREET EXIT IS ABOUT ROUGHLY 1/2 TO 3/4 MILES. BUT I DIDN'T MAKE TO THE SOUTH STREET. MY JAGUAR STOP RUNNING ON THE OFF RAMP TO SO

THERE IS A INTERMITTENT PROBLEM WITH THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM ON THE DASH, A/C AND MENU DISPLAY. THE DASH GAS GAGE WOULD FLASH EMPTY WHEN THE GAS TANK IS FULL. THE A/C USNI WOULD CUT OFF AND BACK ON AFTER A WHILE. THE DISPALY MEUN WOULD FLASH OFF EVEN WHEN THE RADIO IS STILL PLAYING. ALL OF THIS HAPPENS WHEN THE CAR IS IN MOTION. IT HAPPENS ON THE HIGHWAY AND CITY DRIVING. THE CAR WAS SERVICED SEVERAL TIME BY THE JAGUAR SERVICE CENTER BUT THE COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. NO SERVICE WAS PERFORMED.
