Equipment Problems of Jaguar XK

On at least 3 occasions, my vehicle had unintended acceleration and applying brakes did not stop the car. I put it in park to stop. I took it to the foreign performance (mechanic shop) on 11-29-23 after the first time and they said they fixed it. It occurred again on 12-8-23. I again threw it into park. I called the shop on 12-11-23 and they agreed to see it on 12-12-23. I hit a car on 12-11-23 around 11:45 am coming out of my driveway. I had my car towed to mechanic. The other car did not need to be towed. On 12-20-23, foreign performance wrote: "vehicle is driving normally at this time. Checked for any set faults, none stored. Tested the function of the accelerator pedal and the throttle body. Both function normally. There are no bulletin issues by the manufacturer for this problem related to this vehicle. Called the dealership to ask what they are doing to fix this problem with uncontrolled acceleration. They claim to never heard of such a problem and that they no longer work on these vehicles. The problem is well documented nationally and has existed since the vehicle was first produced. Bottom line is that the manufacturer and dealerships have washed their hands on the vehicle. The only advise to give would be to replace the accelerator pedal assembly, the throttle body and the engine control module all together and then program the engine control module to the highest level that is available. Vehicle should not be driven by the customer. " foreign performance said they would not guarantee my vehicle would never do this again after their recommended repairs of $4027. 91. It was christmas, I was leaving on a planned vacation for two weeks and it was complicated so the vehicle is still at foreign performance and no work has been done so all components are available for inspection. No warning lights. Police and state farm insurance have been involved. Needs body work as well after mva--estimate of $1100 per state farm.

Parked in the garage, sometime for a few days or the next day, the car will not start on occasions. No slow starting or clicking of a bad battery, just a humming then nothing. No reason for the failure. Doesn't act like a low battery. I charged the battery, and jumped it with no success. After several attempts I would go inside and returned in 30 minutes or so,try again; sometime it would start. After several times, in the past two years, of the car not starting I purchased a new battery; same thing. I do nothing to remedy the problem, other than wait a bit and try again. My online research shows that this is happening to often. Many people have there car taken to dealership and they find nothing. It just starts without any service, automotive repair shops and dealerships couldn't find what causes the engine to fail to start occasionally. I noticed that if it won't start after several attempts, I go away for a while and try again. For unknown reasons the car will start; sometime on the first attempt. This is very frustrating and could be costly for those not patient enough to try again and again.

While driving the passenger footwell became drenched with water which startled the driver and obviously the passenger who was wet and her shoes soaked in water. The cause is something Jaguar is aware of because they have issued a service bulletin TSB jtb001211 which replaces the drain tube from the ac. This is a real safety concern and many Jaguar Xk vehicles 2007-2011 have experienced this problem and have been forced to pay $1,200 - $1,500 for the defect to be repaired.
