| Engine And Engine Cooling problems |
After 15-20 minutes of highway driving, vehicle suddenly switches into "restricted performance" showing this amber light indicator and amber engine light. Several times because of the drawback in speed, I have been almost rear-ended. This problem is putting my life and others on the highway in danger. This issue has been a problem with my car for over 3 years now with many appointments to Jaguar servicing for replacements; to include coolant pump and throttle body; yet, the problem still continues. I believe the problem is a defect of the engine. This should be investigated and listed as a recall.
While merging into the fast lane on the highway the car goes into limp mode and I nearly got rear ended by a truck . After precariously making it to the shoulder ( almost got hit by another car )the codes all cleared and car resumes as normal. I take it in to the dealer and he tells me its possibly the throttle body but he is not sure . Looking online I find many Xjr's with the same issue and almost fatal consequences due to Jaguar's complete negligence to recall and fix their mistakes. The part is obviously not correctly engineered - they should do something about it before someone gets killed .
