JAGUAR Complaints

ON JUNE 24, 2016 AT 9:20 P.M., WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE ON THE STREET , I SMELLED STRONG FUEL ODOR IN THE CABIN. I STOPPED THE CAR AND CAN SMELL FUEL ODOR OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE AS WELL. I DROVE IT BACK HOME AND PARKED THE VEHICLE.CONTACTED JAGUAR SAN DIEGO SATURDAY 6/25/16 AND INFORMED THEM OF THE PROBLEM. ADVISED TO TOW VEHICLE TO THERE LOCATION ON CONVOY STREET. SERVICE DEPARTMENT WILL INVESTIGATE ON MONDAY. THE MILEAGE ONCE PARKED IS 70130 MILES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 JAGUAR S-TYPE. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED, THE EMERGENCY BRAKE FAILED TO RELEASE. THE FAILURE RECURRED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

A DEFECT EXISTS IN THE JAGUAR XK CONVERTIBLE, WHICH HAS REPEATEDLY AND UNPREDICTABLY PREVENTED THE JAGUAR FROM OPERATING, APPARENTLY IN CONNECTION WITH A CONCURRENT DRAINING OF THE CAR'S BATTERY. THE DEFECT RENDERS THE AUTOMOBILE UNABLE TO RELIABLY START AND DEPRIVES THE OWNER OF THE UTILITY OF THE VEHICLE. DESPITE THE VEHICLE BEING SERVICED BY JAGUAR'S AUTHORIZED DEALER FOR THIS DEFECT ON EIGHT SEPARATE OCCASIONS AND REPLACING THE BATTERY AND BATTERY MONITOR MULTIPLE TIMES, THE DEFECT REMAINS.

MY NEW CAR 26,000 MILES JAGUAR WENT DEAD IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET TOWED TO THE DEALER. HAPPENED AGAIN LAST WEEK IN MY WAY TO LAS VEGAS FROM LOS ANGELES. I AM SURE THIS WILL HAPPEN AGAIN. THERE IS A DEFECT WITH THIS CAR.

URGENT....... TRAVELING @ 65 MPH IN THE HOV LANE OF THE 405 FREEWAY THE MIL ( MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LAMP ) SHOWED A TRANS FAULT, AND THE ENGINE WAS SHUT DOWN!!! I TURNED ON THE EMERGENCY FLASHERS, AND COASTEED TO A STOP. THERE WAS NOT A CHAIN REACTION EVENT. AFTER STOOPING I REMOVED THE KEY, AS A POSSIBLE IGNITION SWITCH OVER HEAT ISSUE , IT WAS NOT HOT. I REPLACED THE KEY AND TURNED THE IGNITION ON , AND THE ENGINE STARTED, I PLACED IT IN GEAR, AND THE VEHICLE MOVED FORWARD IN LIMP HOME MODE. I AM FAMILIAR WITH OBD 2, AND KNOW THAT NO SYSTEM SHOULD EVER SHUT THE ENGINE DOWN AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. A SUBSEQUENT REVIEW ON GOOGLE SHOWED NUMERIOUS COMPLAINTS CONCERNING THE SAME PROBLEM, VEHICLE ENGINE SHUT DOWN AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS ! WHAT DO I WANT. I WANT THE NHTSA TO OPEN AN INVESTIGATION AS TO WHAT IS THE FIX FOR WHAT APPEARS TO BE A PROGRAMMING DESIGN FLAW OF THE ECM OR TCM. I KNOW THE FIX FOR THE TRANS FAULT MIL LIGHT, A LOOSE SNAP RING ON THE FRONT CLUTCH DRUM OF THE ZF-24 5 SPEED TRANS. THAT PROBLEM WILL BE FIXED, HOWEVER, NO DRIVER SHOULD EVER EXPERIENCE AN ENGINE SHUT DOWN, WHEN A FAULT CODE IS DISPLAYED. IF A FIX IS NOT PUBLISHED, PEOPLE WILL DIE, IF THEY HAVEN'T ALREADY!!!
