I took my car in at the end of april/early may sometime for the transmission to be repaired , I took my car into jaguar as I normally to get this work done. I got my car between may 8th and 9th because I drove it to my graduation may 10th.

july 16th the red told me this "we are replacing the transmission sleeve that we replaced last time. I got it covered under warranty and my parts have arrived. I should have done tomorrow. I will update asap --ryan schmitt jaguar land rover minneapolis. July 18th this is what I was told "we are trying to get this transmission issue taken car of. We tried to warranty work we did last time and it didn't fix it. We actually have a separate issue of fluid leaking. My tech is trying to figure out our options. It starts and runs good now but transmission fluid will eventually leak down and cause the connector to go bad. I should have a quote together shortly but unfortunatley it wont be cheap. --Ryan schmitt jaguar land rover minneapolis. Today is july 24th I was told that they could look deeper into to see if it's an internal problem but that would cost me as well.

Engine & cooling

While traveling along a busy highway at approximately 45 mph, the car engine shut down. We were unable to get the engine to start back up. We eventually needed police assistance to move the car from the far left of the highway to the far right (shoulder). The car had to be towed back to the dealership where we puchased it 9 days prior. There was gas in the car and no warning lights came on.The car stopped to the point of not being able to straighten it up with right rear in a lane of oncoming traffic.

I was driving on an internal road ~45mph, not accelerating , just maintaining speed. The engine basically shut down, and I had to pull onto the shoulder. The car was barely moving even though the accelerator was depressed to the floor, engine light on, as well as "engine systems fault, parkbrake fault, dsc not available" message showing up on the dash. I restarted the car but now the battery light came on in addition to the other issues mentioned before and the car battery drained out completely and went limp. I...

got the car jump started and even then it showed a "abs fault". I waited for 30 mins with the engine running and then finally drove it back to my house. This has happened to me atleast 5 times in the last 1 month. Online forums says that this is a throttle sensor issue and its a common enough problem that jaguar needs to recall and fix these cars. I am very perplexed that a car would just shut down on the road, put itself into "limp mode" and be absolutely fine an hour later. *Tr
