The contact owns a 2004 Jaguar XJ. The contact stated that while depressing the brake pedal, the brake pedal felt spongy and an excessive amount of force was needed to depress the brake pedal. The brake pedal almost went to the floorboard before the vehicle came to a stop, causing the braking distance to be extended. The message that the brake fluid level was low remained illuminated. There was brake fluid leaking from a fractured cross-member brake pipe. The vehicle was taken to a certified mechanic, who found that the underfloor tray was corroded, causing the floor to fracture. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure was associated with NHTSA Campaign Number: 09V144000 (Service Brakes, Hydraulic); however, the VIN was not included. The manufacturer was not informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 128,000.

The contact owns a 2004 Jaguar XJ8. The contact stated while driving at various speeds and depressing the brake pedal, the brake pedal made an abnormal rattling sound and went down to the floorboard. The vehicle hesitated to respond. The ABS warning light and the traction control warning light were illuminated. Additionally, the message "Park Brake Fault" was displayed. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, where it was diagnosed that the brakes had failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact became aware that the VIN was included in NHTSA Campaign Number: 09V144000 (Service Brakes, Hydraulic), however, the parts to do the recall repair were not yet available. The local dealer and a secondary dealer, Land Rover Princeton (958 US-206, Princeton, NJ 08540), were contacted. The contact stated that the failure had been recurring. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 149,000. Parts distribution disconnect.

I WAS HAVING A PROBLEM WITH LEAKING BRAKE FLUID AND A FRIEND WITH THE SAME YEAR AND MODEL CAR TOLD ME ABOUT A RECALL ON THEIR CAR FOR THE SAME PROBLEM . THIS PROBLEM IS CAUSED BY PADDING INSTALLED FOR SOUND PROOFING ON THE UNDERSIDE OF THE VEHICLE WHICH TRAPS DIRT AND MOISTURE AND CAUSES THE BRAKE LINES TO PREMATURELY RUST WHICH I HAVE AN ISSUE WITH. AFTER HAVING THE PANELS REMOVED FOR INSPECTION IT WAS CONFIRMED THAT THE PADS ARE INSTALL ON THIS PARTICULAR VEHICLE AND THE RUST ISSUE IS PRESENT AS WELL . WHEN I ENTERED MY VIN NUMBER INTO YOUR SYSTEM IT'S TELLING ME THERE ARE NO OPEN OR IN REPAIRED RECALLED ON MY CAR HOW COULD THAT BE?

IN THE JUST OVER 3 YEARS THAT I HAVE OWNED THIS CAR I HAVE HAD 2 INCIDENTS WHERE THE CAR ACCELERATES AND ENGINE RACES WHEN BRAKING AT A LOW SPEED MAKING A TURN ON A SIDE STREET. I TRY TO BRING THE TO A STOP BUT IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO DO AS THE BRAKES ARE NOT FULLY STOPPING THE CAR AND BOTH TIMES I HAD TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK QUICKLY IN OTHER TO COMPLETELY STOP IT WHICH BROUGHT IT TO A JERKING HALT. THERE IS SOME DEFECT IN THIS MODEL AS I HAVE SEEN NUMEROUS SIMILAR STORIES ON A JAGUAR PROBLEMS WEBSITE. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS PROBLEM AND I WAS LUCKY BOTH TIMES TO BE ON SIDE STREETS AS A SERIOUS ACCIDENT WAS AVOIDED AS I IT TOOK ME A FEW SECONDS TO BRING THE CAR TO A STOP AS I DID NOT HAVE FULL CONTROL OF CAR. I TOOK THE CAR TO MY LOCAL JAGUAR IN GLEN COVE NY IN JULY AND THEY COULD NOT REPLICATE THE INCIDENT AND HAD NO IDEA WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS. LIKE I SAID AT THE BEGINNING THIS ONLY HAPPENED TWICE IN 3 YEARS BUT I ONLY DRIVE 1000 TO 2000 MILES A YEAR AND TO TELL YOU THE TRUTH I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THE CAR TOO MUCH AS I MIGHT HIT ANOTHER CAR OR A PERSON IF IT HAPPENS AGAIN. THE 2004 JAGUAR X TYPES SHOULD BE RECALLED AS OTHERS HAVE HAD THIS SAME PROBLEM WITH NO SOLUTIONS.

MADE A 500 MILE ROAD WHEN THE AIR SUSPENSION FAULT MESSAGE CAME ON ( YELLOW LIGHT), BUT THAT HAD HAPPENED PERIODICALLY AND SEEMED TO BE A COMPUTER FAULT. THE CAR RAN FINE. THEN AFTER A 2 DAY PERIOD OF NO USE, WHEN THE CAR WAS STARTED A RED WARNING LIGHT CAME INDICATING VEHICLE TOO LOW AND ON OUTSIDE INSPECTION THE CAR WAS TOO CLOSE TO THE TIRES. IN 2010, BOTH SUSPENSION STRUTS WERE REPLACED.

THE CAR COUGHT ON FIRE

THE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON WITH ONLY 54,000 MILES ON THIS JAGUAR, THAT IS NOT NORMAL AS I HAVE OWNED JAGUAR CARS FOR 3 DECADES. ALSO THE AIR SUSPENSION FAILURE OCCURRED AT 55,000 MILES WHICH IS THE CURRENT MILEAGE AND THE CAR WAS PARKED FOR TWO WEEKS WITHOUT ANY MOVEMENTS. THIS VEHICLE DRIVES LESS THAN 3000 MILES A YEAR NOW AND I'M SUPER DISAPPOINTED IN THIS FACTOR WHERE AS MY WIFE'S MERCEDES S500 WITH 139,000 MILES ON IT HAS NO ISSUES ON IT AT ALL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 JAGUAR XJ8. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BRAKE SYSTEM, DYNAMIC STABILITY CONTROL, AND ENGINE FAILURE SYSTEM WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE FAILED TO START AND WAS TOWED TO A CERTIFIED MECHANIC WHO STATED THAT THE WIRING IN THE ENGINE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AND WATER WAS ENTERING THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER OR INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING OR REPAIRS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 15,483.

FIRST OFF, CAR HAD ABS LIGHT ON. DEALER REPLACED EVERY ABS COMPONENT. NOW ENGINE AND ABS LIGHT ARE INTERCHANGING ON AND OFF. BELIEVE TO BE A WIRING FAULT. ALSO, TRANSFER CASE HAS GONE OUT TWICE IN 2 YEARS. I HAVE HEARD FROM MULTIPLE SOURCES THAT TRANSFER CASES FAIL OFTEN IN THESE CARS WHICH I BELIEVE TO BE A MANUFACTURERS DEFECT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 JAGUAR XJ8. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 5 MPH, THE TRANSMISSION FAILED TO SHIFT UP AND THE ENGINE STALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO BE RESTARTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

SUSPENSION FAULT LIGHT COMES ON AND CAR DROPS DOWN,CAN BE DANGEROUS WHEN DRIVING AND CAUSE A ACCIDENT,THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS CAR AND SHOULD BE ADDRESSED BY JAGUAR

I HAVE A 2004 X-TYPE JAGUAR AND THE AIR BAG LIGHT ON THE DRIVERS SIDE WILL NOT GO OFF. I HAD IT CHECKED OUT ONLY TO FIND OUT THAT SHOULD I GET IN AN ACCIDENT THE AIR BAG WILL NOT DEPLOY. THE DEALERSHIP WANTS AROUND $1500.00 TO REPAIR IT. I AM HOPING IT IS A RECALL.

CAR SUDDENLY ACCELERATED ON RESIDENTIAL STREET WHY MAKING TURN AT APPROX 15 MPH. HAD TO HIT BREAK WHILE ENGINE WAS STILL ACCELERATING AND THIS SLOWED CAR A LITTLE. THEN WHILE CAR WAS STILL MOVING THREW IT INTO PARK ANDSHUT OFF CAR.IF ANY PEOPLE OR CARS WERE IN FRONT OF ME WOULD OF HAD ACCIDENT. AFTER WAITING A FEW MINUTES I RESTARTED CAR AND PROCEEDED TO MY HOUSE WHICH WAS ONLY A BLOCK AND A HALF AWAY WITHOUT INCIDENT. CAR IS NOW BEING CHECKED OUT BY LOCAL MECHANIC. VERY SCARY.

THE MOTOR WHICH UNLOCKS THE TRUNK DOES NOT WORK. THE ONLY METHOD IN WHICH TO UNLOCK THE TRUNK IS BY KEY SWITCH AND THE MOTOR IS NOT WORKING PROPERLY TO OPEN THE TRUNK.

BRAKING ON STREET TO TURN INTO HOUSE DRIVE WHEN THE CAR SUDDENLY INCREASED SPEED AND BEFORE I COULD GET IT IN NEUTRAL I CRASHED INTO A HOUSE STONE WALL. PICTURES ON REQUEST.

OIL LEAKS ON THE MUFFER AND THE PIPES COULD COST A FIRE WHEN IT HOT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 JAGUAR X-TYPE. THE CONTACT OBSERVED FUEL LEAKING FROM THE UNDERCARRIAGE AND THE FUEL WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 77,000.

MY JAGUAR X-TYPE 2004 CAR WHEN TRAVELING AT ABOUT 25-30 MPH ALTERNATELY GETS SLUGGISH AND SLOWS OR REVS UP, CAUSING ME TO APPLY BRAKES HARD TO PREVENT COLLISIONS. I HAVE TO ALLOW ENORMOUS SPACE BETWEEN ME AND THE VEHICLE AHEAD BECAUSE I AM AFRAID OF COLLIDING WITH VEHICLES IN FRONT. ALSO HAVE TO BRAKE HARD TO TO OVERCOME THE SURGING FORTH OF THE ENGINE. THE CAR WILL ALSO REV UP WHEN I AM PARKING IT. THESE ARE SUCH COMMON OCCURRENCES, AND IT SEEMS TO BE A MANUFACTURING MALFUNCTION. JAGUAR SHOULD RECALL ALL 2004 X-TYPES TO FIX THESE DANGEROUS AND POTENTIALLY LIFE THREATENING MACHINES. I REQUEST THAT THE NHTSA IMMEDIATELY FOLLOW UP AND REQUIRE RECALL OF THESE ROAD HAZARDS. THANK YOU.

WHILE PROCEEDING TO PARK IN THE DRIVEWAY, THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED A SUDDEN ACCELERATION AND FORCIBLY STRUCK ANOTHER VEHICLE THAT WAS PARKED IN THE GARAGE. DURING THIS INCIDENT THE DRIVER HAD NO CONTROL OF BRAKING OR STEERING. THE IMPACT WAS SEVERE ENOUGH TO CAUSE THE AIRBAG TO DEPLOY AND SUSTAIN MAJOR DAMAGE TO BOTH VEHICLES. *TR
