Example complaints

Fuel system: “While being stopped at a stop sign with foot on brake the car suddenly accelerates. This is the 5th time this has happened, one time resulting in an accident. I have called Jaguar and they blame the driver. I replaced the throttle which contained the same tps sensor that has plagued toyotas. I am going to replace the pedal sensor and if that doesn't work I guess I will sell the car. Each time this happens the car is stopped with the right foot on the brake. The accident was at a school waiting in a line of stopped vehicles waiting to pickup students.”

NHTSA complaint #10969560, filed 2017-03, 70,000 miles

Brakes: “Upon entering garage of home, while pressing on brakes preparing to park, engine accelerated forcing car to crash into a ladder in front of concrete wall; although husband pushed full force on brakes, the car seemed to race forward. No one was hurt, front right bumper plastic panel popped off. Earlier on same day, while slowing down for traffic, although I pushed on brakes, car did not seem to respond. I was able to maintain control of car since I was traveling at low rate of speed.”

NHTSA complaint #10249056, filed 2008-11, 3,905 miles

Engine cooling: “2006 Jaguar vdp l wb would not exceed over 10 MPH and warning lights illuminated on the dash. Experienced two massive fuel leaks. The dealer claimed they replaced a seal to fix the fuel leak, however 2 weeks later the fuel leak resurfaced. The dealer then stated the left fuel pump flange was still leaking and the fuel tank was warped. The problem with the vehicle not accelerating over 10 MPH was due to a loose mass air flow sensor connector. The tire monitor was faulty.”
