Accident causing death with the rear brakes engaging with the car in motion, without any warning lights, etc. That has potentially lead to loss of control at speed. Electric parking brake which is too short and applies the rear brakes whenever the car suspension compresses due to carrying large load of rear passengers. The prior symptoms are the rear pads which wear out early, and despite this being a known issue jaguar has not acknowledged the problem. Associated poor fuel consumption due to the permanently dragging rear brakes was identified in prior dealer inspections. Updated 10/06/17 *bf updated 9/7/18*jb*dt*jb

I was driving on an internal road ~45mph, not accelerating , just maintaining speed. The engine basically shut down, and i had to pull onto the shoulder. The car was barely moving even though the accelerator was depressed to the floor, engine light on, as well as "engine systems fault, parkbrake fault, dsc not available" message showing up on the dash. I restarted the car but now the battery light came on in addition to the other issues mentioned before and the car battery drained out completely and went limp. I got the car jump started and even then it showed a "abs fault". I waited for 30 mins with the engine running and then finally drove it back to my house. This has happened to me atleast 5 times in the last 1 month. Online forums says that this is a throttle sensor issue and its a common enough problem that jaguar needs to recall and fix these cars. I am very perplexed that a car would just shut down on the road, put itself into "limp mode" and be absolutely fine an hour later. *tr

Jaguar s-type sedan 2003 was subject to recall r-513 but not limited to this. This vehicle experienced major malfunctions in performance with gear box and braking systems in which it could not be properly shifted out of park, lost rpm, parking brake failure, abs warning lights and major engine light indicator warnings. The car could not be safely driven and suffered a major breakdown with less than 9500 miles, flatbedded to sportique motors in huntington, ny on 12/10/2004, returned on 12/15/2004 only to be flatbedded again on 12/17/2004. A new computer was not installed in the vehicle as promised at that time, and the computer was simply reflashed. At 33,948 miles out of warrenty on may 26, 2010 this vehicle suffered the same major breakdown as described above and was again flatbedded to huntington land rover jaguar, formerly sportique jaguar, huntington, ny. The car could not properly be shifted out of park, lost rpm and could not be driven safely.The dealership worked on the car four (4) times declaring the problem solved on three occasions from may 26, 2010 until it was flat bedded back a forth time on 07/22/10 only to be told the car needed a new "park sensor module" and new "transmission sensor" at a cost of over $4000 dollars with labor. My attempts to obtain assistance from jaguar central and huntington jaguar based on my contention that the vehicle was never properly fixed when under warranty resulted in continual refusals by these parties with claims by the dealership that a faulty truck seal and water leak that certainly did not exist at 9500miles necessitated the costly repairs (the transmission sensor is inside the sealed transmission). My complaints to the dmv ( with lookback of 90 days) has resulted in their findings of a dealership mis-diagnosis . The car remains incapacitated and unsafe to drive. I respectfully request an investigation into all repairs and histories of similar models related to nhtsa recalls but not limited to this. *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2008 jaguar s-type. While driving various speeds, the suspension made a loud clicking and rattling noise coming from both front tires. In addition, the gear box within the vehicle was faulty and the "gear box" warning indicator illuminated and falsely reported that the trunk was open on several occasions. Galpin jaguar (15500 roscoe blvd, van nuys, california, 91406, (818) 894-3800) replaced the lower and upper control arms in the vehicle in 2009. The contact stated that the failure recurred and that the lower and upper control arms were replaced on several occasions by the dealer. The manufacturer was made aware of the failures. The failure mileage was approximately 9,500. *tt consumer stated the dealer sold a car that was used as a new car it had only 585 miles. Updated 2/1/19*jb

Bought a new jaguar s-type in 2001. On 8/9/04 with 10723 miles the transmission failed and was replacement. On 12/29/06 took car in because of transmission issues (27302 miles). I was told the car was operating within specs. On 7/7/07 took car in again with complaint regarding transmission (32625 miles) and again was told the cars transmission was operating within specs. On april 17, 2009 while driving, the transmission failed, and car went into limp mode. Car was towed. The jaguar repair shop stated the transmission failed and needed to be replaced (at ~45,000 miles, note that this is only 35,000 miles after first replacement). *tr

I was ready to park, i hadn't even had a chance to take off seat belt or turn off ignition when there was a sudden acceleration. Car took off like a bat out of hell. Stepped on brake, car would not stop. Finally it stopped at embankment with the help of a chamisa tree. Car was taken to only jaguar repair in new mexico, that being melloy jaguar in albuquerque. It was taken there twice, the assessment no problem with car; no codes could relate to sudden acceleration, blame was on me, with melloy stating it could have been me stepping on gas and brake at same time. Lame excuse, i should have had the code machine on me; i have driven for over thirty eight years and have never had a problem with sudden acceleration. My mother was with me when this happened. It was a miracle that we were not hurt. This car was purchased in november of 2006, it was a used car. Car had approximately 25,500 miles. From the time we purchased vehicle, we had put approximately 11,000 miles in a year when car started acting up. This summer, car, when stopped, started to take off on it's own. Car in front of me stopped it. Daughter was with me. Husband also had an incident. After everything i've read with nhtsa, i am of the belief that this will not be solved, but rather blamed on human error. Eventhough, i believe that this will be the conclusion, i believe, with clear conscience that i tried to save lives. On one last note, i have learned that when you think that there is a problem, try to bring a solution. I think the main problem is with the cruise control which is also linked to the throttle position sensor. I think the problem is with the computer telling vehicle to open at full throttle when the vehicle is at full stop. This can just happen randomly. *tr
