2005 Jaguar S-Type Fuel system Problems

“When I tried to start the vehicle, it would not start. There was a heavy fuel leak onto the ground, coming from underneath the vehicle. This occurred only when the ignition was turned on. I had the vehicle towed to the Jaguar dealer and repair shop. The repairman disconnected the fuel pump power, pushed the vehicle into the shop, raised the vehicle using the hoist and inspected the fuel line. He found the fuel line was completely disconnected at the coupler in the middle of the vehicle. …”

“A strong smell of gas is evident in the cabin of the car when driving and it's been getting worse. After the gas tank is filled, it gets to the point where the vapors are making my families eyes water and we have to open all of the windows/sunroof and it's still bad. I have worked on many of my own cars in the past and I can tell you -it's a good thing I don't smoke because this car would have exploded. The vapors are that strong and I'm amazed there is no evidence of gas leaking out of the car, which would be extremely flammable. …”

Restricted performance indicator light illuminated when attempting to accelerate greater than 35 miles per hour with extreme hesitation. I researched the recall and was instructed my particular VIN# did not qualify. (plano park place Jaguar) there is fuel leaking from my vehicle! I've spent hundreds of thousands of dollars to repair each individual item - with little to no improvement. Will Jaguar pay after a fatality? …”

“I would like to start by sharing with you that I am a father, husband, friend and active member of the community that I am part of. Today, I am contacting you because I am extremely concerned about an issue that has occurred with our family car that we purchased only two months ago. I am concerned because I feel that driving this car presents a high danger and can cause a tragic accident harming not just me, but my children whom I drive to anf from school, my wife and friends and other fellow drivers who drive on the same streets and highways I do. …”

“My wife and I were given a replacement Jaguar S-Type on 05/03/2005 by smith co. Motor cars of charleston, wv. After they were unable to repair a Jaguar x-type that we had bought on 08/26/2004.

On 08/05/2005 the car was first presented for a scheduled 10,000 mile maintenance to Jaguar of south bay, 3111 pacific coast highway, torrance, ca. Since then, the car has been returned to them for more than 8 (eight) times, without satisfactory repair. …”
