general problems of the 2011 Jaguar XJ

The contact's husband owned a 2011 Jaguar Xj. As the contact's husband attempted to park the vehicle into a parking space, the vehicle began to suddenly accelerate with his foot on the brake pedal. The contact's husband depressed the brake pedal to the floorboard; however, the failure continued. As the contact's husband lifted his foot off the brake pedal, the vehicle crashed into a median. The contact stated that the failure occurred so suddenly that they are unaware if any warning light appeared on the instrument panel. The front air bag partially deployed upon impact. The contact's husband was taken to the hospital by an ambulance where he was treated for both a neck sprain and a back sprain. A police report was filed. The vehicle was towed to an independent tow yard and was later determined to be a total loss. Upon investigation, the contact discovered NHTSA campaign number: 20v557000(air bags) which was linked to the failure. The dealer was notified of the failure but offered no assistance. The manufacturer had yet to be notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 75,000.

A seris of issues plaque this model. Changed throttle body twice but car keep showing stability control not available, throttle body actuation issues with p2119,p2118 codes among several others. Car shakes and shuts down in the middle of driving. At idle, the car rev meter goes up and down and then shuts off. I have taken this car to galpin Jaguar over 5 times with the same problem and each time the problem remains the same. I have since taken it to another mechanic two more times paid thousands of dollars to replace parts and still the problem exists. This has been going on for literally months. Everything I have been told, I got it fixed yet, the problem still exist. These set of issues happens at idle, when driving on freeways, and city streets. I have called aaa so often I have no more. Another issue- the car will stuck in drive gear and stop and shuts off. I have even replaced emc computer. The issue started last year March but stopped when I changed throttle body and lasted about 6 months, then started acting around September again and its at the mechanic now and they cant find the issue still.

The cars power and engine shuts down completely without warning. I then have to restart car again. It happened now 4 times so far since I own the car.

The contact owned a 2011 Jaguar Xj. While driving on a wet road at 55 mph, the contact lost control of the vehicle. The vehicle fishtailed down the road into the guardrail cable. The front end of the vehicle was destroyed. The air bags did not deploy. The contact sustained head and rib injuries, which required medical attention. A police report was not filed. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed that there was nothing wrong with the vehicle. The issue recurred on numerous occasions. In addition, the emergency brake malfunctioned. The dealer diagnosed that the battery was low. After having the vehicle diagnosed at auto zone, the battery was tested as being normal. The contact continued to lose control of the vehicle's traction. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue. The failure mileage was 31,552.

I leased a brand new, 2011 Jaguar Xj supercharged, and have experienced several problems within the first 1,000 miles, the first of which presents a severe safety risk. 1) the tft digital speedometer display will vanish without warning. When this happens, you have no idea how fast you are going. The problem usually happens when exiting a dark garage and entering daylight, but also has happened while on the highway. The digital dash will remain blank for up to 15 seconds usually before slowly reappearing. Problem does not happen all the time, but it is distressing and dangerous when it does. 2) audio and navigation systems have become completely inoperative. When navigation was operating, it was directing you to make impossible driving maneuvers. 3) power windows will not remain closed. 4) numerous other problems, though not necessarily safety issues (have been reported to dealer).
