Example complaints

Engine cooling: “I have filed this compliant a couple of weeks ago, but it doesn't appear in the search, so I'm filing it again. I believe Jaguar has a serious problem that should be addressed by a mandatory recall. My 2000 xj8 has been having surging problems for years and has gone into limp mode on numerous occasions...usually on the interstate...where I have narrowly missed causing serious accidents. The local Jaguar dealer had the car twice, each time for approximately one year. Each time they said it needed a throttle body. …”

NHTSA complaint #10418468, filed 2011-08, 37,000 miles

Vehicle speed control: “The car is:Jaguar year 2000 xjr 4.0l, w/supercharger with. I was driving on the pennsylvania turnpike at the speed limit when suddenly the engine started running at slow idle speed. The engine speed would not respond to the position of the accelerator pedal. I was told later by progressive auto repair in hamilton va that the problem was that the accelerator pedal position sensor had failed and had to be replaced. I was told that this was attached to the throttle body assembly and could not be bought separately from the throttle body assembly. …”

NHTSA complaint #10310594, filed 2010-02, 30,000 miles

Air bags: “Collision with other auto, front damage, bumper totalled with frame damage, hood and fender and air bags did not deploy, Jaguar has and will not inspect auto at body shop, adjuster {from insurance company} and body shop both said the air bags should have deployed, I think if there is a problem it should be resolved before anyone is hurt, fortunally in this case there weren't any injuries”

Electrical system: “My 2000 Jaguar xj8 's instrument pack failed while driving 70 MPH (speed limit) in heavy interstate traffic. Resulting in loss off all instrumentation, including speedometer, all inside lighting and loss of air conditioning and defrosting capabilities. My car is now sitting at a nashville tennessee Jaguar dealership for an indefinite period of time ,due to the inability of the Jaguar corporation to supply the needed new part, due to high demand for the 2000 xj8 instrument pack. …”
