FUEL SMELL INSIDE VEHICLE WHEN TANK FILLED. ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ON. CONTACTED JAGUAR CUSTOMER SERVICE AND JAGUAR DEALER IN TAMPA FL. BOTH SAID VEHICLE HAD BEEN FIXED IN APRIL 2007 UNDER JAGUAR RECALL R 176 AND NHTSA 06V418000 AND , SORRY ABOUT YOUR LUCK, WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO ABOUT IT ! PROBLEM HAS BEEN CONTINUOUS SINCE THEN AND IS ONLY AVOIDED BY FILLING TANK TO 3/4 OR LESS .I BELIEVE THAT THERE ARE MANY OF THIS MODEL OUT THERE WHERE A FIX HAS BEEN DONE BUT THE ORIGINAL RECALL FAULT REAPPEARS AFTER TIME CONSTITUTING A SAFETY HAZARD.. *TR

AS MY WIFE WAS EXITING THE FREEWAY SHE PRESSED ON THE BRAKE PEDAL AND THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED CAUSING A MAJOR CRASH (TOTALED) AND SERIOUS INJURIES. SHE TRIED PUMPING THE BRAKES AND COULD NOT SLOW THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE BEHIND HER REPORTED IN THE POLICE REPORT THAT THE CAR ON THE EXIT RAMP DECELERATED AND SUDDENLY ACCELERATED. THERE WAS A RED LIGHT AT THE BOTTOM OF THE EXIT RAMP, HER FOOT WAS NOT ON THE GAS PEDAL NOR DID THE CAR MATS INTERFERE WITH THE BRAKE PEDAL. NO ONE ELSE WAS IN THE VEHICLE. THE BRAKES WERE VERY WELL MAINTAINED. A SEARCH OF THE INTERNET INDICATED 2003/2006 JAGUAR X-TYPE HAD ACCELERATION PROBLEMS WITH OTHER DRIVERS PRESSING ON THE BRAKE PEDAL. I CAN EMAIL YOU MY SEARCH RESULTS IF YOU SO DESIRE. THE AIR BAG WAS ONLY DEPLOYED ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. *TR

WHILE PROCEEDING TO PARK IN THE DRIVEWAY, THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED A SUDDEN ACCELERATION AND FORCIBLY STRUCK ANOTHER VEHICLE THAT WAS PARKED IN THE GARAGE. DURING THIS INCIDENT THE DRIVER HAD NO CONTROL OF BRAKING OR STEERING. THE IMPACT WAS SEVERE ENOUGH TO CAUSE THE AIRBAG TO DEPLOY AND SUSTAIN MAJOR DAMAGE TO BOTH VEHICLES. *TR

MY ENTIRE CAR SHUTDOWN AND I COULD NOT GAIN ACCESS TO THE INTERIOR WITHOUT USE OF MY EMERGENCY KEY. I HAD THE BATTERY AND ALTERNATOR TESTED AND THEY WERE BOTH FINE. THIS HAPPENED TWICE. ONCE THE CAR BECAME OPERATIONAL AGAIN MY KEYS NO LONGER WORKED AND THE MODULE HAD TO BE REPLACED ALONG WITH THE KEYS FOR ME TO GAIN ENTRY TO CRANK THE CAR. THAT CAME AT A HEALTHY PRICE TAG FROM THE JAGUAR DEALERSHIP OF $1400+. THE ENTIRE CAR JUST SHUTS DOWN COMPLETELY WITHOUT WARNING. *TR

THE SENSOR FOR THE LIGHT OVER MY REAR VIEW MIRROR KEEPS FLICKERING. I HAD THE SENSOR REPLACED WHEN I INITIALLY PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. THE SENSOR APPARENTLY IS UNSTABLE AND NEEDS REPLACING AGAIN. THE LIGHT CONSTANTLY FLICKERS CAUSING VISIBILITY TO BE DIFFICULT IN SEEING ONCOMING TRAFFIC. THIS SEEMS LIKE IT WOULD BE A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE THAT CAN RESULT IN AN ACCIDENT. *TR

MY ENTIRE DASHBOARD IS AUTOMATICALLY DISMANTLING ON IT'S OWN. THERE ARE BUBBLES EVERYWHERE AND IT'S SEPARATING FROM THE CONSOLE. I AM AFRAID THAT IT WILL THE OPERATION OF THE AIRBAG RESTRAINT SYSTEM IF EVER IN AN ACCIDENT. I DON'T USE ANYTHING ON MY DASHBOARD TO CLEAN IT EXCEPT FOR A DUSTER. I AM AFRAID FROM IT BUBBLING ALL OF A SUDDEN IT MAY EVENTUALLY FLY OFF OR GET WORSE AND OBSTRUCT MY DRIVING VIEW. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO JAGUAR AND THEY DO NOT WANT TO FIX THE DASHBOARD. INSTEAD, THEY ARE TELLING ME I CAN HAVE THEM FIX IT FOR A FEE OF $3800+. I EXPLAINED TO THEM IT SHOULD BE COMING APART IN THE FIRST PLACE FOR IT TO NEED FIXING. I AM SO DISGUSTED AND AGGRAVATED. THE ENTIRE CAR NEEDS TO BE RECALLED BECAUSE IT IS JUST A PIECE OF JUNK. IT HAS GREAT ENGINE PERFORMANCE, BUT MASSIVE GLITCHES INCLUDING ELECTRICAL. *TR

MY VEHICLE ACCELERATE WHEN APPLYING BRAKES. TOOK IT TO A SHOP AND WAS TOOK SOMETHING WAS DEFAULTING WITH MY MASTER BRAKE CYLINDER AND THE BRAKE BOOSTER. COST NEARLY 1600 TO FIX. CAL THE MANUFACTURER ABOUT A RECALL RELATED TO THIS BUT WAS TOLD MY CAR WASN'T RELATED TO THE RECALL. *TR
