JAGUAR XJ8 1998 Electrical System Report #724795

JAGUAR XJ8 1998 car safety problem was reported on July 13, 1999.JAGUAR XJ8 1998, manufactured by JAGUAR CARS LTD had a problem with ELECTRICAL SYSTEM . I HAVE HAD REPEATED PROBLEMS WITH THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM ON THIS VEHICLE. IT HAS BEEN SERVICED BY TWO DIFFERENT DEALERS A TOTAL OF 4 TIMES FOR THE SAME DEFECTS WHICH STILL REMAIN. THE DRIVERS ELECTRIC SEAT OCCASIONALLY MOVES BOTH FORWARD AND BACK WHILE DRIVING MOVING YOU EITHER AWAY FROM THE BRAKE PEDAL OR INTO THE DASH. THE STEERING WHEEL WHICH IS TIED INTO THE SAME SYSTEM SOMETIMES REFUSES TO MOVE OUT OF ITS RETRACTED POSITION AGAINST THE DASHBOARD. ADDITIONALLY, THE REAR DOORS WON'T OPEN AT ALL UNLESS THE DRIVER FIRST OPENS THEIR OWN DOOR OR HITS A CENTRAL RELEASE BUTTON PRIOR TO EITHER REAR PASSENGER TOUCHING THEIR INTERIOR HANDLES. UP UNTIL NOW THE MANUFACTURER HAS BEEN TRYING TO REPAIR THIS SITUATION BUT HAS NOW CHANGED THEIR POSITION TO BEING "IT'S SUPPOSED TO WORK THAT WAY". THIS CREATES A VERY HAZARDOUS SITUATION IN THE EVENT OF A FRONT END COLLISION WHERE THE DRIVER IS EITHER RENDERED UNCONSCIOUS OR THE AIRBAG DEPLOYS. IN EITHER CASE THE REAR SEAT PASSENGERS ARE TRAPPED IN A POTENTIALLY BURNING VEHICLE. IT ALSO CREATES A VERY INCONVENIENT SITUATION EVERY TIME A REAR PASSENGER TRIES TO GET OUT BEFORE THE DRIVER. IN THOSE INSTANCES, THE CAR MUST BE SHUT OFF AND RESTARTED SEVERAL TIMES TO RESET THE SYSTEM BEFORE THE REAR DOORS CAN BE OPENED EVEN FROM THE OUTSIDE. *AK.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):SAJHX624XWC.

JAGUAR XJ8 Engine And Engine Cooling

JAGUAR XJ8 1998 Engine And Engine Cooling Report #10070414

JAGUAR XJ8 1998 car safety problem was reported on June 15, 2003.JAGUAR XJ8 1998, manufactured by JAGUAR CARS LTD had a problem with ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING . THE CAR HAS EXPERIENCED A MAJOR SAFETY PROBLEM THAT IS CHARACTERIZED BY THE ENGINE STOPPING WHILE DRIVING. ACCORDING TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE THE CAR WAS REPAIRED, THE PROBLEM IS DUE TO THE THROTTLE PLATE CLOSING FOR A SELF-CLEANING MODE DURING NORMAL DRIVING OPERATION, THIS CAUSES THE ENGINE TO SHUT-OFF FROM LACK OF AIR. I BELIEVE THIS TO BE A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE THE CAR ENGINE STOPS WHEN DRIVING THE CAR. I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR (JAGUAR XJ8 VANDEN PLAS) INTO THE DEALER (BAUER JAGUAR- SANTA ANA, CA) TO FIX THE PROBLEM ON 3 DIFFERENT OCCASIONS. THE REPAIRS WERE MADE UNDER FACTORY WARRANTY ON ALL OCCASIONS. THE FIRST TIME I TOOK IT IN THE MILEAGE WAS 39,860 (FEB 28, 2002) - THE SECOND TIME MILEAGE WAS 44,898 (DEC 3, 2002) AND THE LAST TIME IT WAS 46,746 (MARCH 24, 2003). THE SERVICE WRITERS AT THE DEALERSHIP WERE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND HAVE SEEN IT ON SEVERAL OTHER VEHICLES. THE DEALERSHIP (BAUER JAGUAR) INSTITUTED A FIX (SEE BELOW) WHICH IS NOT FACTORY APPROVED THAT APPEARS TO HAVE SOLVED THE PROBLEM. MY CONCERN IS THIS COULD CAUSE ACCIDENTS AND POSSIBLE DEATHS TO OTHER OWNERS WHO HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM BECAUSE THEY HAVEN'T HAD THE "FIX" PERFORMED ON THEIR CARS. THE PROBLEM AS THE SERVICE WRITER EXPLAINED TO ME, IS DUE TO THE THROTTLE BODY GOING INTO A "SELF CLEANING" MODE WHILE THE CAR IS OPERATING. THIS "SELF CLEANING" MODE MEANS THE THROTTLE PLATE CLOSES WHICH SHUTS-OFF AIR TO THE ENGINE, CAUSING ENGINE SHUTDOWN. THE "FIX" IS TO INSTALL A STOP ON THE THROTTLE PLATE SO THAT THE PLATE CANNOT COMPLETELY CLOSE. .Mileage was 46725 miles. Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):SAJKX6244WC.

THE PROBLEM IS WELL-DOCUMENTED BY JAGUAR, AND YET NO RECALL HAS BEEN ISSUED YET. THE TENDENCY OF THE CAR TO STALL AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS IS A POTENTIALLY LIFE-THREATENING DEFECT.

CAR STALLED AT HIGH SPEEDS FROM 44,000 UNTIL TRADE-IN ON SEPT 4 AT 69,000 MILES. LUCKILY NO ONE WAS EVER HURT. HOWEVER, WE HAD EXPECTED TO KEEP THE CAR FOR LONGER AS WE DID OUR LAST CAR OF OVER 100,000. WE KEPT TAKING IT BACK TO JAGUAR BUT THEY SAID IT WAS NOT THEIR PROBLEM BUT THE THROTTLE JUST NEEDED TO BE CLEANED. THEY EVEN TAUGHT MY HUSBAND HOW TO CLEAN THE THROTTLE. DURING THE LAST 6 MONTHS WE HAD THE CAR, WE HAD IT TO THE JAGUAR DEALER AND TWO OTHER INDEPENDENT REPAIR PLACES TO TRY TO FIX THE STALLING. NO ONE WAS ABLE TO FIX IT. AFTER TWO MORE VERY BAD SCARES OF STALLING AT HIGH SPEEDS IN TWO DAYS, WE FELT WE HAD NO CHOICE BUT TO GET RID OF IT BEFORE WE (AND OTHERS) WERE IN A TERRIBLE ACCIDENT. APPROXIMATELY 3 WEEKS LATER WE RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE THAT THERE WAS A THROTTLE PROBLEM WITH OUR JAGUAR THAT CAUSED CARS TO STALL AT HIGH SPEEDS AND THAT THEY WOULD REPAIR IT. WE ASKED FOR REIMBURSEMENT FOR ALL THE REPAIRS. JAGUAR SAID SOME WERE ROUTINE MAINTENANCE AND THE OTHERS WERE PERFORMED AT INDEPENDENT REPAIR CENTERS SO NOT COVERED. WE THINK THEY SHOULD NOT ONLY PAY OUR BILLS FOR TRYING TO FIX THE PROBLEM, BUT ALSO SHOULD COMPENSATE US FOR HAVING TO TRADE THE CAR IN EARLY WHEN THEY KNEW THE PROBLEM EXISTED BUT HAD NOT TRIED TO FIX IT FOR US OR OTHERS HAVING OUR MODEL..0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 69000 miles.
