JAGUAR HAS LESS THAN 600 MILES / YR, NEVER PARKED OUTSIDE, DRIVEN IN ANY TYPE OF WEATHER BEFORE FAILURE. 3-30-2015, AFTER 170 MILE RIDE, TOPPED THE FUEL OFF BEFORE PLACING BACK INTO INSIDE COVERED STORAGE. NEXT MORNING I DISCOVERED SIGNIFICANT FUEL LEAKAGE ON THE FLOOR UNDER THE REAR OF THE JAGUAR ACCOMPANIED BY SEVERE GASOLINE FUMES THROUGHOUT THE STORAGE GARAGE THAT IS ALSO ATTACHED TO OUR RESIDENCE. UPON CAREFULLY PUSHING THE JAGUAR OUT OF STORAGE AND TAKING OVERT MEASURES TO SECURE THE DANGEROUS SITUATION, INSPECTION REVEALED A SERIOUS FUEL LEAKAGE CONDITION ASSOCIATED WITH THE FUEL TANK ASSEMBLY. PRIOR TO THIS INCIDENT THIS CAR HAD BEEN A FLAWLESS AND VERY ENJOYABLE AUTOMOBILE THAT WE HAD EVERY INTENT KEEPING INDEFINITELY THROUGHOUT OUR RETIREMENT. SEARCHING ONLINE, I DISCOVERED THE NHSTA RECALL CAMPAIGN FOR WHICH WE HAD NEVER RECEIVED ANY NOTICE WHATSOEVER, IN SPITE OF OUR OWNING THIS JAGUAR SINCE 2006 AND NEVER HAVING CHANGED OUR ADDRESS OR OWNERSHIP TITLE. DELIVERED THE JAG TO HOEHN JAGUAR CARLSBAD, CA AND THEY CONFIRMED THE RECALL AND LEARNED THE REQUIRED FUEL TANK ASSEMBLY WAS NOT IN STOCK. A WEEK LATER I WAS NOTIFIED THE REPAIR ASSEMBLY WAS RECEIVED AND I BROUGHT THE JAG BACK TO HOEHN FOR WHAT WAS PROMISED A 'SAME DAY REPAIR' - THIS IS DOCUMENTED ON THE REPAIR ORDER NO. 96331. WITHIN THE DAY I WAS NOTIFIED OUR JAG HAD BEEN DISASSEMBLED PRIOR TO DISCOVERING THE "REPAIR KIT" WAS ONLY THE MAIN FUEL CELL AND WAS MISSING 27 OTHER REQUIRED COMPONENTS - BUT- HOEHN WOULD ORDER THE MISSING COMPONENTS AND IT WOULD BE 'ANOTHER COUPLE OF DAYS'. IN THE INTERIM, OUR BELOVED JAG WAS PUSHED OUT OF THE WORK BAY AND LEFT IN THE UNPROTECTED PARKING LOT BAKING IN THE SUN AND RAIN STORMS THAT OCCURRED. 1. JAG STILL NOT REPAIRED AS OF 02 JUN 2015 2. NO PROMISE DATE FOR REPAIR 3. "MISSING PARTS NOT AVAIL", PER JAG USA SEE MY LETTER OF 21 MAY 2015

WAS DRIVING DOWN INTERSTATE AND LIGHT CAME ON SAYING COOLANT LOW, AIR CONDITIONER WAS STILL BLOWING COLD, BUT I TURNED OFF AIR, MAYBE 3 MINUTES LATER, LOSS ACCELERATION POWER, BLACK SMOKE BILLOWING OUT OF PIPES AND UNDER HOOD AND LIGHT CAME ON SAYING LOW PERFORMANCE TURN ENGINE OFF. IMMEDIATELY PULLED CAR ON SIDE OF HIGHWAY. NO WARNING CAR WAS RUNNING HOT. CAR WAS DISABLED WOULD NOT START LATER AND COMPUTER READING STILL REGISTERED COOL. GAS WAS SMELLING ALL THOUGH THE CAR AND PROCEEDED TO LEAK FROM UNDER CAR AFTER TOWED AWAY. AT THE DEALERSHIP, THE CAR HAD GAS LEAKING UNDER IT ON THE GROUND WHEN I WENT TO RETRIEVE ITEMS OUT OF CAR. DEALERSHIP SAID IT WOULD COST 36,000. PLUS TO FIX. CAR IS STILL SITTING AT DEALERSHIP WITH NO SOLUTION. I FELT WE WERE FORTUNATE TO GET OUT OF CAR ALIVE BECAUSE I FELT IT COULD HAVE EXPLODED. DEALERSHIP SAYS IT WAS WATER PUMP, BUT ENGINE WAS NEVER TORN DOWN TO DETERMINE THAT.

2008 JAGUAR XK. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO PREMATURE REAR WINDOW DETACHMENT ON VEHICLE CONVERTIBLE TOP REPAIRS. *SMD THE CONSUMER WAS INFORMED THE DETACHMENT PROBLEM WAS COMMON AND THE REPAIR/REPLACEMENT WOULD COST $600 FOR AN ADHESIVE FIX WITH A 50% CHANCE OF FAILURE OR $2400 FOR A NEW CONVERTIBLE TOP. *JB

AS I WAS DRIVING THE CAR THE CAR STARTED TO STALL AND WHEN I STOPPED IN TRAFFIC LIGHT THE ENGINE SHUT ITSELF OFF WITHOUT NOTICE AND I HAD TO RESTART. THE STALLING AND ENGINE GOING OFF CONTINUED AND COULD HAVE CAUSED A MAJOR ACCIDENT.

MY JAGUAR X-TYPE 2004 CAR WHEN TRAVELING AT ABOUT 25-30 MPH ALTERNATELY GETS SLUGGISH AND SLOWS OR REVS UP, CAUSING ME TO APPLY BRAKES HARD TO PREVENT COLLISIONS. I HAVE TO ALLOW ENORMOUS SPACE BETWEEN ME AND THE VEHICLE AHEAD BECAUSE I AM AFRAID OF COLLIDING WITH VEHICLES IN FRONT. ALSO HAVE TO BRAKE HARD TO TO OVERCOME THE SURGING FORTH OF THE ENGINE. THE CAR WILL ALSO REV UP WHEN I AM PARKING IT. THESE ARE SUCH COMMON OCCURRENCES, AND IT SEEMS TO BE A MANUFACTURING MALFUNCTION. JAGUAR SHOULD RECALL ALL 2004 X-TYPES TO FIX THESE DANGEROUS AND POTENTIALLY LIFE THREATENING MACHINES. I REQUEST THAT THE NHTSA IMMEDIATELY FOLLOW UP AND REQUIRE RECALL OF THESE ROAD HAZARDS. THANK YOU.
