Electrical System Problems of 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.

Serious safety issue with the epb electronic parking brake not disengaging (especially in the Xj models), therefore, deeming it impossible to drive the car, and being stranded with no way to drive home or anywhere in an emergency. This issue appears to be electrical in nature, involving the parking brake module. This issue is a published issue in countless Jaguar forums and the NHTSA.

In weather below 30 degrees f, parked for a period of time on the street, and usually in frost conditions, doors will not open on car. Once you get door to open, usually by lowering window and unlocking from inside, doors will not latch closed. Once car warms up, doors latch closed. Doors need to be held by hand or by bungee cord to keep closed until car warms up and door latches closed. At times, you are able to enter the car, but once inside the drivers seat, you cannot open the door from the inside. During this incident, the drivers window was lowered and door opened from the outside. This usually occurs to all doors, and if fortunate, one door will open. As a further note, door locking system is electronic. Jaguar service technicians could not find issue.

I have spent thousands of dollars repairing the suede lining on the interior of the car. Now, I can't even find anyone that will touch it! the wood grain has faded and the vehicle is garage kept. The horrible buttons were made of a material that literally became gummy. I spent hundreds having them replaced. Sunroof had to be replaced/motor more than once, the clear coat on the back panel of the roof has peeled. I have had other cars with almost 200,000 miles that had perfect paint when traded. The paint on this vehicle is terrible. This is only to name a few of the issues. I could have purchased a new vehicle for what I have spent on this car. I love this vehicle but most likely will never purchase another Jaguar.

While being stopped at a stop sign with foot on brake the car suddenly accelerates. This is the 5th time this has happened, one time resulting in an accident. I have called Jaguar and they blame the driver. I replaced the throttle which contained the same tps sensor that has plagued toyotas. I am going to replace the pedal sensor and if that doesn't work I guess I will sell the car. Each time this happens the car is stopped with the right foot on the brake. The accident was at a school waiting in a line of stopped vehicles waiting to pickup students.

Early one morning we found our car engulfed in flames. Fire apparently started in trunk area, where battery is contained. The car had not been driven that day. Fire 'investigation' revealed nothing. Car was a total loss. This model had a recall that was supposedly fixed 5 weeks prior to my car being manufactured. I don't believe it is truly fixed. No one--not insurance, Jaguar or dot here seems to care a car burst into flame and was a 100k loss! it was completely destroyed. I feel this is dangerous for other 2015 Xjl supercharged owners. If I'd been driving, I could have easily perished or caused a major incident on a highway involving others.

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).

I pulled in to a parking lot and placed my car in park. The car was idling for about 5 min. I notices a flicker of flame from the right front headlight area. I raised the hood and flames from the right front headlight shot up from the front of my car. I poured water on it and called the fire department. I had extinguished the flames just prior to the arrival of the fire department. I just purchased the car used. I had driven it only one week. The fire caused extensive damage to both the right front headlights, the plastic around the headlights, wires in that area, and heat shield on the hood. I had the car towed to the Jaguar dealer in des moines, IA. I am still awaiting some kind of corrective action that is being delayed by the insurance company.
