Vehicle speed control: “While accelerating to change lanes my vehicle went into wide open throttle. Despite removing my foot from the accelerator and slamming on the brakes the car could only be slowed to 40 MPH. Hit the ignition switch which shut the vehicle down including lights. Appeared I would be rear ended therefore hit ignition and vehicle restarted with car still stuck in wot with foot off accelerator. With engine screaming and right foot fully on brake only able to hold car down to 40 MPH. …”

NHTSA complaint #10489187, filed 2012-12, 55,969 miles

Electrical system: “Vehicle is equipped with a keyless start option. On two occasions within 3 days, the car would not stay running when the start button was depressed. On each occasion, after 5-6 attempts at starting the engine, each time the engine would stall when the transmission was placed in either d or r. After waiting approximately 5 minutes, the car would start and operate normally. Both times the vehicle was driven to dealer service and each time the technician would note no problem found-could not duplicate problem. In both instances, technician reprogrammed all keys. …”

NHTSA complaint #10242173, filed 2008-09, 4,000 miles

Body and structure: “While driving the passenger footwell became drenched with water which startled the driver and obviously the passenger who was wet and her shoes soaked in water. The cause is something Jaguar is aware of because they have issued a service bulletin TSB jtb001211 which replaces the drain tube from the AC. This is a real safety concern and many Jaguar XK vehicles 2007-2011 have experienced this problem and have been forced to pay $1,200 - $1,500 for the defect to be repaired. Many vehicles are outside of warranty period. The sudden rush of water from the dash is likely to cause a serious accident.”

NHTSA complaint #10563267, filed 2014-02, 38,000 miles

Brakes: “The contact owns a 2007 Jaguar XK. While driving 20 MPH, the vehicle experienced numerous computer failures, which caused a complete loss of power, manual steering, and braking ability. The vehicle was taken to the dealer five times. Each time, the dealer diagnoses a different failure; however, the symptoms are always the same. The battery was replaced three times and they enhanced the computer program and replaced the ABS. The failures are temporarily corrected for approximately a week, but then recur. The failure mileage was less than 1,000 and current mileage was 9,500.”
