What owners report
THE ZENON HEADLIGHTS FLICKER AND SOMETIMES GO OUT. RESTARTING THE CAR SOLVES THE PROBLEM BUT IT RECURS AFTER A FEW MINUTES. SEVERAL INSPECTIONS BY DEALER RESULTED IN NO REPAIR AS THEY SAID THEY COULD NOT MAKE THE PROBLEM OCCUR. JUST AFTER THE WARRANTY EXPIRED THE DEALER TOLD ME THAT BOTH HEADLIGHTS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AND WOULD NOT BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. I PAID TO HAVE THE LIGHTS REPLACED SO THAT I COULD DRIVE THE CAR AT NIGHT AGAIN BUT NOW AFTER A YEAR THE SAME THING IS HAPPENING AGAIN. I BELIEVE THIS IS A SERIOUS FAULT THAT COULD EASILY RESULT IN AN ACCIDENT WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT. *TR
JUST GOOGLE "JAGUAR THROTTLE BODY" AND SEE HOW MANY PROBLEMS CUSTOMERS ARE HAVING. MY 2005 XJ8LWB WITH LESS THAN 60,000 MILES EXPERIENCED A THROTTLE BODY FAILURE WHILE TRAVELING ON THE INTERSTATE. I LOST POWER AS THE ENGINE WENT TO IDLE SPEED AND AN "ENGINE FAULT" MESSAGE ALERTED ME THAT THERE WAS A PROBLEM. FORTUNATELY, I WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT TO THE SHOULDER AND CREEP DOWN AN EXIT, WHERE I WAS ABLE TO FIND A SERVICE STATION. I TURNED THE ENGINE IGNITION OFF AND WAITED FOR 15 SECONDS AND RESTARTED THE ENGINE, THE FAULT MESSAGE WAS GONE AND THE ENGINE HAD POWER AGAIN. I WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT HOME WITHOUT ANOTHER INCIDENT. WE ALL WOULD HAVE BEEN DEAD IF AN 18 WHEELER WAS BEHIND US WHEN THE
DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY GOING ABOUT 70MPH, NOT ACCELERATING NOR COASTING, JUST MAINTAINING SPEED. THE ENGINE BASICALLY SHUT DOWN, AND I HAD TO PULL ONTO THE SHOULDER, IT WAS VERY DANGEROUS AND FRANKLY, IT SCARED ME. ENGINE LIGHT ON, AS WELL AS "ENGINE SYSTEMS FAULT, PARKBRAKE FAULT, DSC NOT AVAILABLE" SHOWING UP ON THE DASH. I RESTARTED THE CAR ABOUT 4-5 TIMES AND IT EVENTUALLY STARTED. I AM ASSUMING, THIS HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES OVER THE PAST SEVERAL YEARS AND NO-ONE SEEMS TO HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT IS CAUSING IT. IT HAPPENS ON BUSY HIGHWAYS AND LOCAL STREET DRIVING. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. THE CARS ENGINE COULD CUT OUT AT A MOMENTS NOTICE AND LEAVE YOU IN A VERY DANGEROUS SITUA
2005 JAGUAR XJ8L YOU CAN BE DRIVING THE VEHICLE AND LOOSE ALL MOBILITY FROM THE ENGINE TO DRIVE AXLE. YOU WOULD RECEIVE A PARK BRAKE FAULT FAILURE, HOWEVER THE ENGINE WOULD STILL BE RUNNING ALL ACCESSORIES WOULD STILL BE RUNNING PERFECTLY HOWEVER WHEN YOU WOULD PRESS THE ACCELERATOR IT WOULD JUST REV THE ENGINE BUT WOULDN'T MOVE THE CAR. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON MANY DIFFERENT OCCASIONS NO SOLUTION AS BEEN FOUND BUT THE CAR DOES IT AT RANDOM TIMES. *TR
2005 JAGUAR XJR GOES INTO LIMP HOME MODE (REDUCED PERFORMANCE MODE) EVERY ONCE A WHILE AND BE ABLE TO DRIVE 10MPH MAX. CAR IN THE REAR MIGHT CRASH FOR SUDDEN LOSS OF SPEED. DEALER TRIED TO READ OBD CODE BUT NOTHING WAS DETECTED SO NO WAY TO FIX IT. THERE ARE MANY XJ OWNER EXPERIENCING SAME ISSUE. CAR WILL BE DRIVABLE AFTER RESTARTING ENGINE BUT DANGEROUS TO DRIVE. *TR
