Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“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“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.”

Car was taken to dealer after we cleaned up the gas & got car out of garage. Dealer advised us that they checked with factory & there was a problem with gas tank and that they would have to order tank from a new manufacturer as the one on the auto had a problem. Still waiting 2 weeks later for car and dealer still cannot assure us that the new gas tank is from a different manufacturer. …”
