Water Pump Problems of Jaguar XJ

This vehicle has had numerous"unusual" issues from "stick-to-your-fingers" control buttons that were changed under warranty to a faulty alarm system that goes off randomly once activated,to exceptionally slow touch screen functions that can only be controlled via touch screen;placing driver in hazardous situations distracted by the significant delay in response' not knowing if command was received and processed. To interior upholstery:ceiling,headliner coming unglued and undone in a relatively short period of time (5 yrs) with particles coming from glue/foam polluting the interior air causing breathing problems;while the manufacturer destined the vehicle to a hot & humid destination. To the major 2 catastrophic gauge/sensor failures:the water pump breaking ,which maybe ok, but when the car temperature gauge doesn't show an increase in operating temp and stays dead center at normal operating temperature and you drive it so you can get to safety of your home since it is not "over-heating" and the steering wheel seizes on you. You ask the dealership and a vague cover-up answer ridden with hesitancy,guilt & a sense of "OH,its normal for the car!" and no remedy offered or issued (maybe I should touch the engine to make sure its not overheating?!). And now this episode:the 2nd catastrophic gauge failure:the vehicles oil is at 25% capacity (only 25% full) no oil pool under the car at any time just a few liquid drops of what seemed to be ac condensation. The car doesn't show an oil pressure drop warning or overheating or any relative warning. Mind you the vehicle does not have a "dip-stick" to check oil levels. The only warning is a service required statement that is pre-programmed at certain intervals by the manufacturer. Even if I did not change the oil exactly on time and I'm a bit late,no warning about low oil content/low oil pressure. Documentation available.

Tl the contact owns a 2014 Jaguar Xj. While driving 15 mph, the vehicle started to overheat and the engine warning indicator illuminated. The contact coasted the vehicle to the side of the road and had it towed to a tow lot. The vehicle was later taken to Jaguar freeport (146 w sunrise hwy, freeport, NY 11520, (516) 771-9700) where it was diagnosed that a new water pump and cooling pump needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired and was later taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the intercooler pipe needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 82,903.

Problem involves intercooler pipe that was made for the car during production and Jaguar now makes a new intercooler pipe diffrent from original that does not come in the car originally that causes car to over heat and cause engine damage as well as ruining your water pump which in time if not treated can cause a fire and engine damage also rear suspension has faulty bushings and air suspension is leaks causing suspension to break down easily and wheel alignment not to last may cause suspension to collapse making it hazardous on the road.

Not sure exactly what the problem is. I have had the complete fuel system and water pump replaced. There appears to be a defect in the placement of where the gas cap is located on the vehicle (on top near the trunk) rather than on the side. When there is a hard rain, water leaks into the gas tank; dirt and debris gather in the opening for the gas tank and must be frequently cleaned out. The vehicle will hesitate while driving and then will refuse to start again. In reading complaints from other owners about the plastic parts used in the engine, perhaps this is my problem. As far back as the complaints go about the unreliability of the vehicle, there should have been a recall to determine why the car will just stop running for no apparent reason.
