The contact owns a 2016 Jaguar Xj. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle was jerking and hydroplaning. The contact made a local dealer aware of the failure; however, the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The contact then stated that the failure reoccurred and that while driving at approximately 60 mph, the vehicle hydroplaned, ran off the freeway and crashed into a hillside as the "stability control" warning message was illuminated. The airbags failed to deploy. The vehicle was towed to a tow yard. A police report was not filed. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 87,300.
The car shuts off randomly while driving in motion on city streets and highways . This is my second Jaguar that does this. This has happened for the 5th time so far.
Jaguar 2000 Xjr: while driving vehicle would suddenly display warning message that traction control / asc was not available and would go into a failsafe engine mode. Engine would then run very roughly and would not accelerate past 5-10mph. Mechanic diagnosed a fault code of p0121 which is addressed as a known Jaguar technical service bulletin for a "mismatched" connector to the throttle body. Internet research reveals that this is a very common problem experienced by many Jaguar owners that is known by Jaguar and constitutes a safety hazard. Jaguar knows that it mismatched gold and tin plated throttle body connectors and advised its repair tech's to replace only if customer complains! how will a customer know such a problem exists until it happens and it will happen eventually. Anything that may suddenly and without warning affect a vehicle's ability to accelerate is a major safety hazard. Jaguar should have and must issue a full recall of the affected vehicles before somebody gets catastrophically injured and/or killed. It costs in excess of $450+ to fix this known problem and Jaguar is allowing consumers to drive unsafe vehicles that may fail at the worst time. What would have happened if I was making a left turn and it failed at the wrong time and got broadsided with my wife or children inside?.
