JAGUAR DEFECTS AND LIMP MODE PROBLEM 

The 2004 Jaguars have experienced various problems. The engine light will appear and provide restricted performance. 

Various solutions to the limp mode problem have been proposed.  "You need to take to Jaguar technician to have Mil lamp codes read and cured the restricted performance is the
engine protecting itself as there is a fault in the management system,usually fuel system related,It has gone into "Limp Home" mode to try to limit the damage done untill the fault is cured"
Other problems include premature engine failure.

Summary:
ON 01/04/10, CAR SHOWED "VEHICLE TOO LOW" WARNING. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD TO LET THE CAR WARM UP WHICH I DID AND WARNING DISAPPEARED. WARNING APPEARED EACH DAY & I LET CAR WARM UP EACH DAY TO CORRECT. ON 01/08/10, ADDITIONAL WARNING "AIR SUSPENSION FAULTY" APPEARED AND VEHICLE'S FRONT END WAS VERY LOW TOO THE GROUND. I CALLED DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD TO IMMEDIATELY STOP DRIVING AND HAVE CAR TOWED IN B/C THE STRUTS HAD FAILED AND COULD CAUSE THE TIRES TO BLOW. HAD CAR TOWED TO DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THAT THE EXTREMES IN TEMP IN ATLANTA HAD RESULTED IN A NUMBER OF CARS BEING BROUGHT IN FOR SAME PROBLEM -- AIR BAG COMPRESSORS COLLAPSED B/C OF CAR SITTING OUTSIDE DURING THE DAY. WHEN I ASKED IF THIS WAS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT (SINCE NUMEROUS 04 JAG XJ8S), I WAS TOLD "DON'T KNOW". WHEN I TRIED TO GET ADDITIONAL INFORMATION SUCH AS TEMPERATURE SPEC RATINGS FOR THE STRUTS, THE DEALERSHIP CLAMMED UP. WHEN I PICKED THE CAR UP, I COMMENTED ON THE 14 CARS IN THE PICK UP AREA WHICH WAS UNUSUAL, I WAS TOLD THE DAMAGE TO ALL THE CARS STRUTS WAS "NORMAL WEAR & TEAR". NO ONE WOULD EVEN ENTERTAIN MY QUESTIONS RE: A MANUFACTURING DEFECT OR THE MANUFACTURER BILSTEIN. HAD THE COLLAPSE HAPPEN WHILE DRIVING ON I-285, IT COULD HAVE BEEN DISASTROUS. THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED TO PREVENT FUTURE COLLAPSES OF STRUTS BY REPLACING THOSE STRUTS WHICH DO NOT SATISFY TEMPERATURE SPEC RATINGS. *TR

JAGUAR 2004 FAILURE OF ACCELERATOR SENSOR WHILE DRIVING ON I-40/I75 IN KNOXVILLE, TN RESULTING IN A INSTANT SHUTDOWN OF ENGINE THAT COULD HAVE RESULTED IN A FATAL OR NEAR FATAL ACCIDENT BY BEING "RUN OVER" BY TRAFFIC FROM THE REAR. RESULTED IN A 900 DOLLAR REPAIR AS SENSOR WAS A PART OF THROTTLE BODY THAT ACCORDING TO DEALER HAD TO BE REPLACED.

Summary:
I WAS BRAKING INTO A PARKING SPOT AT THE BANK WHEN WITHOUT NOTICE MY VEHICLE ACCELERATED WILDLY. I PRESSED ON THE BRAKE WITH ALL OF MY WEIGHT TO STOP FROM LITERALLY RAMMING MY VEHICLE INTO THE SIDE OF THE BANK. THE ROAR OF THE TRANSMISSION WAS LIKE SOMEONE WAS STEPPING FULL FORCE ON THE GAS PEDAL, BUT MY FOOT WAS SOLIDLY ON THE BRAKE AND NOT EVEN TOUCHING THE GAS PEDAL. IT WAS TERRIFYING. IF THERE HAPPENED TO BE SOMEONE WALKING ON THE SIDEWALK IN FRONT OF ME, I WOULD HAVE HIT THEM. I WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN ABLE TO AVOID IT. AS IT WAS, THE ONLY WAY I COULD STOP THE CAR FROM DRIVING FORWARD WAS TO SHIFT THE CAR INTO PARK AND THEN TURN IT OFF. AFTER WAITING A WHILE, I RESTARTED THE CAR AND CAUTIOUSLY DROVE HOME WITHOUT FURTHER INCIDENT. THIS PROBLEM WITH SUDDEN ACCELERATION IS SO SERIOUS. IT'S ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE SOMEONE IS SERIOUSLY INJURED OR KILLED....PLEASE LOOK INTO IT! *TR

IT SOUNDED LIKE THE ENGINE WAS GOING TO BLOW UP. I HAD TO PRESS THE BREAK PEDAL HARD TO KEEP IT FROM MOVING AND HITTING THE GATE. THE SECOND INCIDENT WAS APPROXIMATELY 2 WEEKS LATER AT AN INTERSECTION. I WAS STOPPED AT A LIGHT WITH MY FOOT ON THE BREAK WHEN THE ENGINE STARTED RAISING AGAIN LIKE IF SOMEONE WAS PRESSING ON THE GAS. I LOOKED DOWN TO SEE IF THE RUG WAS ON THE WAY. THERE WAS NOTHING PRESSING ON THE GAS PEDAL. THIS TIME IT DID NOT STOP BY ITSELF; I HAD TO SHIFT GEARS BECAUSE IT WAS HARD TO HOLD THE BREAK. I PUT IT ON PARK AND TURNED OFF THE CAR. I WAS ABLE TO START THE CAR BACK ON BUT IT WOULD NOT SHIFT GEARS. IT WAS TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. RUSNAK-PASADENA KEPT IT FOR 2 WEEKS. THEY REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION AND DETERMINED THAT THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR. THEY SUGGESTED I HAD MY FOOT ON BOTH PEDALS AND WANTED TO GIVE ME INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO USE ONE PEDAL AT A TIME. I DROVE THE CAR THREE MORE TIMES (LOCAL DRIVING ONLY). THE LAST TIME WAS YESTERDAY AFTERNOON. I WAS GETTING OUT OF A PARKING LOT, BEHIND TWO CARS, ALL OF A SUDDEN THE ENGINE STARTED TO RAISE AGAIN. I PLACED IT IN PARK AND THE ENGINE STOPPED RAISING. I DROVE THE CAR HOME AND STARTED LOOKING AT ANY OTHER SUCH REPORTS FOR THIS CAR. I FOUND TWO INCIDENTS IN YOUR FILES. ONE WAS REPORTED ON 01/26/05 (REFERENCE #1018965), THE OTHER WAS REPORTED ON 09/20/06 (REFERENCE #10168741). *JB
