Three problems related to electrical system have been reported for the 1997 Jaguar XK8. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
While driving my 1997 Jaguar Xk8 on polaris parkway @50mph, the car lost total power. I had to weave out of the middle lane in order to reduce a potential accident. . The local Jaguar dealer tested and reported that the throttle body failed thus causing vehicle to lose all power. . . During the dealer test drive, the car also lost power on highway #670. . Due to the safety issue, Jaguar should make the necessary repairs. .
Car stalls (cuts out) at highway speeds. The first 2 times I had to let it stop, turn off and restart. The last instance just as I was trying to pull over it restarted.
Intermittently while driving at 55 mph, the vehicle stalled. It stalled three times in two weeks. There was a recall for this problem, but only foreign vehicles were involved. The problem continued.
