Comment: my wife has a 2000 jag stype v8 4. 0 that we purchased aprox 4 yrs ago, but not from a jag dealer. The connecting rod in the motor went & a few months ago I got a used motor to replace that one & took it all apart & realized that the same thing was wrong with that one also. The #6 cylinders & the #1 were both bad. So I got another used motor & couldn't believe it but the exact same thing was wrong with that one too. I called a friend of mine who owns a repair shop to see if he could get me a deal on a new motor & he said that he just had a jag same year make & model come into the shop with the same exact problem. (now that's 4 motors within 10 min of my house that have this issue. ) I started thinking that maybe there was some kind of recall or defect with it. I went to a jag dealer to talk to someone about it, & b/c I didn't purchase the car from a jag dealer I purchase it preowned the dealer said that they couldn't help me & that there is no known engine recalls that they knew of. I really don't know where else to turn, this is my wife's only vehicle, & we just can not afford a brand new motor for this car. Do you have any suggestions or know if there are any recalls or issues with it. I would appreciate any help you can give me. I also searched on the internet & there are a lot of people with the same problem & just don't know what to do. Well, thank you.

Consumer vehicle began knocking and then came to a complete stop. The consumer stated the day before the incident, the vehicle was in the shop because it was jerking, but the dealer claimed there was no problem and released the vehicle back to the consumer.

While driving the vehicle will come to a complete stop. There has been a recall on this vehicle but this problem continues to exist intermittently. It has been in the service department several times to correct the problem. This automobile has cut-off while moving which caused another vehicle to hit the rear causing damages to the rear bumper.
