Two problems related to vehicle speed control have been reported for the 1998 Jaguar Vanden Plas. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
The first time it happened as I was driving the car on the highway approximately 60 mph, suddenly without any warning the engine stopped running, fortunately I was driving the car in the right line, I stopped on the shoulder and restarted the engine, after several attempts the car did start and I drove home, I made a appointment with the local dealer,they found no problem at that time,but they did tell me that there was a recall on some VIN# for the same problem but my car was not part of the recall, now I can't drive the car because very often happens the same scenario,the engine just quits some times will start immediately an at times will not start for several hours. Currently the car is at Jaguar service facility,they are telling me that I need a throttle body the same part that is being recalled on other vehicle identification numbers.
My 1998 xj8vdp Jaguar has repeatedly stalled at speeds of 65-70 mph on the highway. Dealer has cleaned the throttle body without success. This is extremely dangerous, and my wife now feels insecure in this vehicle. Jag needs to stand behind their product and fix this problem.
