JAGUAR S-TYPE 2008 Equipment Electrical Report #10211089
JAGUAR S-TYPE 2008 car safety problem was reported on Jan 09, 2007.JAGUAR S-TYPE 2008, manufactured by JAGUAR CARS LTD had a problem with EQUIPMENT:ELECTRICAL . 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.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Jaguar S-type 2008 problem was reported in ESPANOLA, NM. Vehicle was not using Cruise Control. WAS PART ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT.

JAGUAR S-TYPE 2008 car safety problem was reported on June 25, 2010.JAGUAR S-TYPE 2008, manufactured by JAGUAR CARS LTD had a problem with EQUIPMENT:OTHER:LABELS . 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 2008 problem was reported in FREMONT, CA.
