My new car has been off the road for four weeks - can I reject it?
I purchased a new Jaguar XF Portfolio in September. Within the last ten weeks, the vehicle has been off road for just over four weeks due to a major software or hardware issue with no end date of fixing the problems. My concern is this could be a lasting issue with the car. If not happy, can I reject the car? I paid £40,000 through finance.

In theory the Consumer Rights Act 215 enables you to reject the car. But if the dealer doesn't accept rejection it could mean a very expensive county court or even high court case with no guarantee of a ruling in your favour and even if you get one you might not be awarded your costs.
