WHILE DRIVING AT 55 MPH THE AUTO STOPPED ACCELERATING WHEN PRESSURE WAS PLACED ON THE GAS PEDAL. THE CAR HAD TO BE SHUT OFF AND EVENTUALLY STARTED AGAIN. I BROUGHT IT TO MY MECHANIC AND HE TOLD ME THE THROTTLE BODY IS BAD. HE LOOKED UP THE RECORDS OF THIS PROBLEM AND FOUND THAT THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THE SAME PROBLEM FOR THE 3 PREVIOUS YRS 97,98 & 99, RECALL S514. JAGUAR KNEW THEY HAD A PROBLEM FOR THE 3 PREVIOUS YEARS AND DID NOT DO ENOUGH AS IS EVIDENT BY A NEAR FATAL ACCIDENT. I HAVE DRIVEN AUTOS FOR OVER 35 YRS AND THIS HAS NEVER HAPPENED. I WANT MY CAR FIXED BY JAGUAR AND A RECALL ON THIS DEFECT. EITHER WAY I WANT THIS ON RECORD OF HOW JAGUAR TAKES CARE OF WHAT COULD BE A FATAL…

I PURCHASED A CERTIFIED 2000 XKR CONVERTIBLE. IT HAS HAD 4 TRANSMISSIONS REPLACED AND A THROTTLE BODY REPLACED, ALONG WITH A HOST OF OTHER ITEMS. MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN AND OUT OF SERVICE FOR THE PAST YEAR. FOR A SOLID 6 MONTHS MY CAR WAS IN SERVICE, ONLY OUT FOR 1-3 DAYS AT A TIME TO FIND OUT THAT THE TRANSMISSION WASN'T WORKING CORRECTLY.

THE HORROR WAS WHEN JAGUAR REFUSED TO BUY BACK THE CAR AFTER ALL THAT. JAGUAR EVEN REFUSES TO EXTEND THE WARRANTY TIME TO MAKE UP FOR THE 6 SOLID MONTHS THAT THE VEHICLE…

- Electrical system
THE DATE BELOW IS APPROXIMATE. ON THREE DIFFERENT OCCASIONS MY JAGUAR XK8 LOST POWER AT FULL SPEED. THE ENGINE FAILED AND I LOST POWER STEERING AND POWER BREAKS. I FIRST REPORTED THIS TO MY JAGUAR SERVICE CENTER IN MAY 2003 AFTER THE SECOND INCIDENT. ALTHOUGH THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE FAILURE, THEY REPLACED THE RELAYS BECAUSE THEY SAID THAT THIS HAD SOLVED THE PROBLEM IN OTHER INSTANCES. IT HAPPENED AGAIN A FEW MONTHS AGO AND I AGAIN BROUGHT IN THE CAR. I WAS TOLD THAT AGAIN THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED IN THE SHOP BECAUSE ALL CODES WERE ERASED WHEN I TURNED OFF THE CAR. I WAS FURTHER TOLD THAT THERE WAS NOTHING FURTHER THAT THEY COULD DO ABOUT THE PROBLEM UNLESS I KEPT THE CAR…
