general problems of the 2006 Jaguar S-type

Tune up does not last for more than 1 year. It is completely destroyed even when everything is replaced brand new. It is a huge fire hazard. Everything is cooked like a furnace. Mechanics are not willing to put the effort in doing tune ups and repairs. I do a tune up on the car once a year. I memorized every mechanical problem on that car, just so I can keep a sharp eye on all the problems.

Following was sent to us customs. I'm at risk in this car, by Jaguar design error-and refusal to correct the error. Ken berg (949 )830 6888 in my case the car suddenly and spontaneously, without apparent reason, went into what Jaguar calls ¿limp home¿ mode, a walking pace. Fortunately it happened on an urban parkway, posted at 55 mph, and I had just turned right, on to it, into the right-hand lane. The problem is common to Jaguar cars as shown by internet postings. Jaguar have stated that limp home cannot be disabled because it is intended for the safety of the mechanical parts of their cars. I have a string of communications running from November 2nd that I could send to provide greater detail, but I¿d like to know what you folks can do, and whether there are good legal ground to support my demands. I have made this initial contact with us customs because Jaguar exports cars to the us with unstable computer systems compromising their safety and I believe that you connect with NHTSA. But my problem is immediate and I¿d like some assurance that my case will be dealt with quickly, and that I can be in contact with a person that I can send further material to. Attached is initial letter to jlr. At their request I contacted jlr north America in mah wah NJ. (Jaguar Land Rover north America executive case: 8000216414 / your 2006 S-type. ) they sent me on to local dealers. All have stated they won¿t disable the limp home mode because it protects the mechanical parts of the car . . . (and puts humans at risk as a result). They have been as capricious in dealing with my complaint as they have been with the careless design of their limp home mode! I think jlr has failed the u. S. Import regulations and would like cbp to order them to disable the limp home mode.

2006 s type Jaguar. In February 2008, I brought my car in for warranty work performed. The reason was due to a restricted performance error light. They dealer was able to correct it via the replacement of a new coil. The bottom line was that my vehicle entered restrictive performance anytime I would attempt to pass any vehicle on straight stretch of road and would have to accelerate to 80 miles an hour. The vehicle would go into restricted performance and drop my speed until I had to pull off the road. Clearly, a dangerous scenario. In December of 08, the issue returned. I took my car back to the dealer as it is still under warranty. They could not locate any of the error codes related to the restricted performance the same case as last year. I had to return to the dealer because the issue resurfaced in a very dangerous situation. I was attempting to pass 2 tractor trailers and once again, accelerated to nearly 80 and the vehicle went into restricted performance. I had an angry trucker tailgating until I pulled off to the side of the road going less than 50 miles an hour with my foot pressed to the floor of the accelerator. Due to the restricted performance issue, that was the fastest I could go and my speed continued to drop. I returned the vehicle to the dealer service nearly three weeks ago. Service has stated they are working w/Jaguar. They are attempting to again recreate the scenario in a same model, make and year vehicle on their lot. I was told service was attempting to determine if this is normal issue for the vehicle. Frankly, I find it hard to believe that Jaguar would manufacture a vehicle with a flaw that could be fatal. I am very concerned that I will be forced to take this vehicle back and no real resolution will have been provided. I do not want to put my family at risk because Jaguar and the service dept can not fix the issue.
