Jaguar Vanden Plas owners have reported 2 problems related to engine failure (under the engine and engine cooling category). The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Vehicle stalls and goes into a engine fail safe mode randomly. This is very dangerous since when it goes in this mode it reduces power to the engine leaving the driver stuck to try to get off the road. There has been a problem with Jaguar throttle bodies on this model that they were suppose to have fixed by the time they made the 2000 model but I think it is still a problem. There was a recall on models up to 1999 to get the throttle bodies replaced. It should have included 2000 as well.

Problem has existed since the vehicle was new. Engine shuts off without prior warning or symptoms. I was traveling approx,. 70 miles per hour on a seattle freeway when the "engine fail" light came on. No power brakes, no power steering, no power! the car must be put into "park" to restart. Manufacture has been aware of a "computer" glitch and promised a recall. None to date. The computer has been replaced and problem still exists. I met another jag owner at the dealership that experienced the identical problem. The car is a hazard to drive.
